@Camp4 This seems to imply mobility and strength training are at odds with each other. The opposite is true.
Building strength through the full range of motion, particularly at end ranges of motion where you typically have the least strength, will greatly enhance joint mobility.
@DrCamRx Depends on the person. That’s why I said know your limitations. If you are particularly unathletic or accident prone, maybe don’t pick it up as an adult. For everyone else, know your limitations and progress incrementally. Chances are you’ll be fine.
@chernobelskiy lol ok. I love this game where so many of us pretend he’s something other than exactly what his actions and comments have always demonstrated he is.
“Who you going to believe,” the emperor says. “Me or your lying eyes.”
@Camp4@waterssamuel Splitting hairs here. I largely agree with what you said, but I maintain they are close cousins. They both hit the posterior chain. They both provide a loaded hamstring stretch and engage the glutes and lower back moving a similarly positioned load along the same plane.
@Camp4@waterssamuel The Jefferson curl is a pretty close cousin to the Romanian deadlift. They hit the same muscles when done correctly. The rdl hits the hamstrings a bit harder, the Jefferson the lower back.
@orrdavid No, but the ability to be a very good student is about as good of a proxy as you are going to get.
We’re complaining about a lack of a filter in med school, but the filter is there - it’s the difficulty of getting into med school. Relaxing our standards won’t buy us much imo.
@orrdavid In other words, your proposal (“opening it up”) would DECREASE the resume of the median incoming MD student.
And maybe we want to decrease the standards for who gets into medical school, but let’s be aware that’s what we’re doing.
@orrdavid This isn’t true. The admission standards to get into medical school, particularly for MDs, are incredibly difficult. You must have a very strong undergrad resume. Any incoming MD student in the USA was likely nearly a 4.0 student with a science or engineering degree.
