The subtle creep, the invisibility, and the subsequent normalisation of this ‘narrowing’ is one of the most tragic things I see in my practice. It doesn’t have to be that way for people

[Howard Luks MD @hjluks]

Don't Let Your Lives "Narrow"!!
I've been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years.
The thing I watch happen to people, more than any injury or surgery, is refer to as the narrowing.
Most of my patients have no idea it's happening to them. They think it's just aging. It's not. 🧵

@WSWayland Very sorry for your loss William

[Mark Durcan @mark_durcan]

Great thread. To a lesser degree of course compared to those in medicine, but as a physio these kinds of thought experiments have kept me awake at night

[Dr Goblin @DrGoblin3]

Is this a serious question? I’ll assume it is. Let me explain.

You go to the GP a with a sore throat.
GP talks to you, examines you and feels it’s nothing serious.
GP sends you away but gives you weirdly strict safety-net advice for a sore throat.

@Guadango @CoachJpM3 Unless I’m mistaken I believe @MattRheaPhD has data suggesting speed benefits plateau at 1.7 x BW Back Squat

[Mark Durcan @mark_durcan]

Everything works. Some things work better than others, but everything works

[Michael Boyle @mboyle1959]

I never thought I’d say this but people need to think less and train harder. It’s not rocket science. Warmup. Jump- throw- sprint- lift-condition. We can argue about how far, how high, how heavy, how long and which lifts but some version of this done well will surely work.

[Tommy Comyns PhD, OLY @comyns_tommy]
