It’s all happening in doping this morning. Here’s a study on Danish athletes where 30.6% self-confess to doping. That’s similar to previous studies in Dutch & German athletes, & at IAAF WC events. Recall that only 1-2% of all tests are positive. https://t.co/TbHz65bNml

“Let's be honest, saying that strength training is not helpful for athletes is a regressive thought process.” @mboyle1959
GREAT thoughts by Mike on the whole Maurizio Sarri issue of stopping Chelsea players from weight training.

Sometimes the world of S&C can’t see the wood for the trees, and it’s frustrating! I get that it’s cool to see exercise videos and all that jazz on insta, I’m not knocking it, but don’t… https://t.co/MRhjoJbFIw

If you were to run alongside Kipchoge, how long would you last? This is what 2:01:39 pace translates to for various distances.

I'd probably be spent at about 700m. With some hard training, I could maybe make it a full 800m.

Exact quote from my wife (an optometrist) the other day: "I had to go to nine years of school for eyes. Trainers have the entire body and they don’t have to go to any? That's scary."

The barrier to entry in our industry is far too low.

Surprising strength-training findings from @BradSchoenfeld: 1 set (8-12 reps to failure, 3X/wk for 8 weeks) increases max strength and muscular endurance just as much as 3 or 5 sets. But the extra sets do build muscle *size.* https://t.co/oY6wyy7lZc

A single bout of resistance training eliminates senescent cells in muscle.

Lifting weights is anti-aging.

Warmup is, in my opinion, the most important part of the training session. First, it sets the stage for the main part of the workout, and secondly, it allows one to address the important components of the physical preparedness. https://t.co/OmVYrnSsKY

@Wreed_obaied @trishankkarthik Btw, Dina Asher-Smith just ran 10.85 for 100m at the European Champs in Berlin. Faster than ~99.9% of men. Most men have no clue about real performance, and how good the top women are.

After watching every scene of @TomCruise running (see link); What did I learn?

Cruise is a natural. Looks like a real runner, not some guy imitating how he thinks running/sprinting should look. This is very rare

Overall: His mechanics are impressive.

Just when you thought looking like Bane at the gym gave you a performance edge... "The use of an #RBM had a negative effect on the number of repetitions completed during an acute session of lower-body resistance training." doi: 10.1519/JSC.0000000000002648
