@muccistrength When can you purchase these?

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@coachdownes @the_ASCA @MoanaPasifika_ Great presentation Paul!

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins High volume of aerobic work leading to Left ventricular hypertrophy. This leads to problems with pumping of the heart. Maybe a reason?

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins One of the first things a mentor told me when I got my first job. ‘Be productive not busy’. I worked in the public service for a bit. Lots of busy workers minimal productive ones.

@RUGBY_STR_COACH @peterthiel This has been in my mind a bit lately. The barbell is the most overrated piece of fitness equipment....all drugs should be legalised..... these are 2 that come to mind. Unsure if they are 1% though

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@RUGBY_STR_COACH @jameskeay1 @WSWayland Surely at least 20% believe that? Your answer makes sense from many angles

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins Rocks everywhere hey. Maybe too focused on filming?

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Physical_Prep I got a lot out of HIIT that i apply in my non S&C work

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Physical_Prep Do you sleep much?

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins But seem super durable

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins The Schwinn ones feel weird i.e. more clunky than the assault to me

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@DrHorwitz @Grant_Jenkins As in track sprinting technique. I would focus on making them fast instead of focusing on sprint technique. Different things

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@DrHorwitz @Grant_Jenkins Sprint technique for a tennis player is a waste of time

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins I had 6 years experience in S&C in Union and didn’t get a rugby league role because I had no league ‘experience’ according to the management. I said the principles are all the same but that did not fly with them.

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Grant_Jenkins Everything I apply to my PT and clinical clients is through my S&C lens. Great results and enjoyable for me. Once I stopped worrying about who I was training (e.g. elite vs everyday person) and checked my ego every training client I try to treat as ‘elite’.

@carmenbott I don’t see how they can stop them on the podium?

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@carvperformance Do you think this unique to the USA? I haven’t seen this issue with other countries performance staff

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@Lundsanity51 @RUGBY_STR_COACH @loftistrong @Nick__DiMarco Fair enough comment regarding his knowledge etc but he is perpetuating stereotypes about the profession. If you can attribute his behaviour to increased wins then I’ll be damned.

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@RUGBY_STR_COACH @loftistrong @Nick__DiMarco @RUGBY_STR_COACH in your travels do you think this is unique to American culture? Hype and energy a big focus there with good and bad elements. This guy is on the extreme end though. If I was a player he would piss me off

[Ben Exton @BennyExt]

@WSWayland I got a lot out of that series of tweets. Thanks. Did you ever do the TPI courses or just apply your knowledge / experience to golf?
