When old coaches get together…

Myself, James Green (my college coach), & Tim Floyd.

[Louisa Nicola @louisanicola_]

Skeletal muscle is an endocrine organ.

Every training session releases hundreds of signaling molecules that influence inflammation, mitochondrial function, blood-brain barrier integrity, and neuroplasticity.

The biology supporting cognitive performance is not confined to your brain.

A significant portion originates in your muscle tissue

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@Mr_davisj Yep. What are we "correcting?" Correcting issues is important, but you don't change a good tire.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@jcissik Indeed. That’s a bridge easily traversed once reached.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@CoachDanGo Why is it a “flex,” as opposed to responsibility?

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@Isaactp44 Let’s get it done!

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

Pick up heavy things. Put them back down. Pick them back up!

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Strength training for 90-120 minutes per week is associated with up to a 30% lower risk of death from all causes, CVD, cancer, and neurologic disease.

That seems to be the upper limit - no additional benefit was observed above 120 minutes of strength training per week.

These benefits were independent of total aerobic activity, but combining strength training with ~5-15 hours of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic activity reduced all-cause mortality risk by 45%!

Clear message here is: "do both."

@camperry21 @Jumpshot8 @nyknicks They all posted guys!!! Stop it! NBA2K isn’t basketball, sport. You have to watch actual games.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@camperry21 @Jumpshot8 @nyknicks They all posted other players in various sets. Yes! They indeed were post players.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@camperry21 @Jumpshot8 @nyknicks Every great basketball player is a post player. See Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, etc.

@MarcLobliner I have full squatted for over 30 years 1-3 times a week… My knees do not disagree. They’re fine.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@sam_gzstrength @wolfstrength Man… internet people have an excuse for everything… I tell people to full squat, then internet people tell me that tall people can’t, then I have to explain that I’m 6’5” but just not a sissy…

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@wolfstrength @sam_gzstrength It’s an individual thing, that can change over time. If you need more leg drive, & it helps facilitate leg drive… heaven forbid you take advantage of basic biomechanics!

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@sam_gzstrength I talked with Jill Mills once, yes, 2 time World’s Strongest Woman Jill Mills…

She preferred deadlifts in lifting shoes. Her deadlift was 562 lbs…

Success leaves clues.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@newstart_2024 Ori Hofmekler has been preaching this for several decades now.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@alexp_ssc I’m only 275 lbs. lean.

I’m sorry to disappoint you.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

Not the low protein crap again…

[alex @alexp_ssc]

Guys, you don’t need 300g of protein.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@SergeantMartee Great coach… but Saban is as wrong as he can be about the situation.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@alexp_ssc No it won’t. That 35 year old myth has been disproven by research 25 years ago. That’s not how protein acts in the body. Can it be “converted” to carbs or fat? Sure. But even on higher protein diets, only a small amount is, “converted” even in a +calorie diet.

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

Well, it’s an exercise, not a workout… but yes, let’s begin the discussion with semantics.

[Kingston @Kxngstn_]

What’s the most overrated workout in the gym?

I’ll start: Deadlifts

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

@BankHoops I don’t think Worthy remembers how damn athletic he was!

[Todd Wilson @LeanStrength]

Worthy is wrong here. I'm unaware of a 6'9" guy that gets off the floor as quickly as Worthy did in his career.

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

James Worthy on how the showtime Lakers would do in today’s game:

“The athlete today is a superior athlete. Okay. The approach, the stamina, the way they approach the game. But still for me I mean if I got to pick a point guard to start my team, I’m going Magic every time. And he could play today. He’s got pace. He’s got size. I’m not going to say we would dominate. A lot of people say, “Oh, we you know with Kareem and Magic we No, I don’t think we would dominate, but I think we could hold our own.”
