1/ NEED vs SUFFICIENT: why this lifting debate misses the point.
There’s a big difference between what is needed and what is sufficient for muscle and strength adaptations. Confusing the two is where gym arguments go off the rails.
Thanks @foundmyfitness for reigniting 😂

🔥 #Halifax has agreed to establish a #cancer screening program in response to advocacy from @hfxfirefighters.

A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found:
1. Process goals had a large effect on performance
2. Performance goals had a moderate effect
3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect
This year has been pivotal for #firefighter legislation in Ontario. The OPFFA would like to thank Premier @fordnation and his government for the legislative amendments announced today addressing:
✔️#KidneyCancer - reducing the required duration of employment from 20 to 10 years.
✔️#ColorectalCancer - eliminating the 61-year age limit on presumptive eligibility for #colorectalcancer.
These are significant milestones that ensure all #firefighters who develop these occupational #cancers while safeguarding Ontarians will have better access to the support and coverage they need.

It’s #TesticularCancer Awareness month! Routine testicular self-exams help you detect changes to the testicles over time and potential testicular problems. Conduct a testicular self-exam monthly! Consult with your doctor if you notice anything unusual. @opffa@IAFFCanada
