@anishmoonka I love Japan 🙂

@Kierkegaarddd Better to have regrets about things you did do than things you didn't do...

@skill_of_life Like it.
As I've come to see it, there are givers and takers. That position hardly ever changes.
Avoid too much giving to takers, they'll keep on taking till the end of time.
Find givers, and give. That's where the magic is.

@James_Athletics @runoutofhell 56s and 59s and that WR might get a fright!

@CoachRGarner Great accelerators with that GCT but unlikely super elite at 40m+

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@siimland That's a very small decrease in BP given the exposure time

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@Fred__Duncan Just interested in where you got this info?

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@TracksidewidMel @usainbolt Scoliosis helps the Spinal Engine, so he blessed to have it, not cursed by it...

@fmfclips Increase in CSA but not muscle thickness. Thoughts?

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@scibasedlifter_ The main problem is fibre type related. High volumes of hypertrophy work, that bb do, lead to unfavourable changes in fibre type, especially away from explosiveness.

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@stevemagness The diesels and the cheetahs. Some of us need volume, some need intensity, to improve performance. If you don't get this then you are starting 10m behind the start line.

@Fred__Duncan Seated knee extension grows rec fem which is a hip flexor. Squats and leg press don't. Thus ske can be very useful!

@TrackGazette It wasn't a genuine head wind. Look at all the other winds from the sprints. Hardly anything all day.

@lahti_johan @Tier1athlete A strength intervention like ankle isos should carry over to sport performance, positively, even if it is not actually sprinting. I believe when athletes sprint they find their natural rhythms and frequencies from the positions they put themselves in. Not the other way round.

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@lahti_johan @Tier1athlete Using wickets for improving SF is too artificial. The athlete may run with > normal SF over wickets but this vid shows an athlete way under-striding. No transfer to an actual sprint race too.
Athletes find their own natural SF based on limb lengths, positions, GRF and fibre type.

@PaceNSpace2 Growing might perhaps be a better term? Changing is good but it could also be going backwards if you're miss-informed...

[Andrew Maclennan @getfaststrong]

@pbasilstrength Amazing how so much of what we measure is defined on saggital numbers, yet so much of elite sport performance and movement, across many codes, is frontal plane dominant in particular.
