I'm an NYC strength coach and personal trainer. I train people at home and check the evidence first.
What holds up: lift hard 2-3x a week, add load or reps over time, eat enough protein, sleep. The rest is mostly small stuff or marketing.
Studies here, with size and limits.
@fmfclips 100% Anyone still pushing the โseed oils are toxicโ line while ignoring the actual trial evidence can be safely ignored. The science isnโt close.
@TDekkersPhysio Lots of myths around LBP. Biggest gains often come from shifting daily movement habits + education that reduces fear & builds confidence so people actually keep moving.
Psychosocial support is probably where many untapped benefits sit.
Doritos for breakfast? Fine.
Four Red Bulls before first period? Go for it.
Creatine monohydrate, the most researched sports supplement in history? Show me your ID, kid. WTF! @Schwarzenegger where are you??

Think you've hit your genetic limit? Doubt it. The great Eric Helms talks w/ The Proof to explain why progress slows, what's realistic after year one & how much training busy lifters in their 40s & 50s actually need.
@CCOutdoorNA You say: "your community is our community." Your new Atlantic Terminal screen blasts cycling colors into our Brooklyn bedrooms all night. The old static sign was fine for yrs. Shut it off overnight or stop the color cycling. This is invasive. @MTA@LincolnRestler
@NiulyfeApp My core lifts repeat every week or 2 & those are what I log & progress. The swaps get a rep target & get pushed close to failure. Basically I keep track of 10 rotating exercises.
40yrs of lifting & I rarely repeat a workout. Turns out thatโs not โmuscle confusion.โ Muscles donโt get confused. They get progressive overload or they get nothing.
When variety helps, when itโs useless, & why seated calf raises are mostly decoration:

@BradSchoenfeld Other culprits not to blame:
-Seed oils
-Not taking the right supplements
-Not eating enough protein right after the workout
-Working out at the wrong time
@MarcoFoster_@BernieSanders "Outside of Talarico, who managed to run a โbig tentโ lefty-populist campaign, there was a pretty strong correlation between being more progressive and under performing in these midterms"
