Adductors are a very important component of building strength in the lower limbs that often get neglected. Here is a great exercise to try if you want to build strength in the adductor muscles. @invinceible24#PSUClinExPhy
We often neglect the adductors
However, they’re extremely important & need to be targeted
An easy way I like to do this is to add a “cross-over,” element to a step-up
Try to stack weight going towards the midline & you will absolutely roast your adductors
Give them a try
This is a cool study that breaks down optimal training volumes. Aerobic conditioning should be performed in all seasons, although the volume, frequency, and intensity are all varied depending on what point it is in the season. @invinceible24#PSUClinExPhy

It is for all seasons.
And at this time of year, you find out who has mastered it.

When trying to optimize your health you should eat plenty of vegetables, but you need to be careful of what you cook it with. Plenty of oils thought to be healthy can actually be really harmful to human health. @invinceible24#PSUClinExPhy
Eating out is unhealthy due to large portions size, high salt & #sugar content, but also because restaurants use cheap #inflammatory oils, like soybean or corn oil. Even a healthy-looking plate of #broccoli may have been prepared in an unhealthy oil. #healthyeating

Protein powder is an amazing tool for increasing overall protein intake, but it is important to prioritize eating whole foods with a much greater nutritional value. @invinceible24#PSUClinExPhy
Protein powders are a convenient way to boost protein intake, but they have drawbacks, such as additives, allergens, or heavy metals. Almost all the Clean Label Act tested had 1 or more heavy metal contaminants. More than half had #BPA. #protein https://t.co/NehJrTR67h.
