@missyMmcbeth Main thing that’s jumping out at me is there’s no gasser anywhere & I’d have burpees for 3 and half minutes between is station… just because. 🤷🏻‍♂️ also, no bosu ball balances for stability?? 🤔

New meta-analysis finds that taking an ice bath after strength training impairs gains.

The inflammation, damage, stress is the SIGNAL for adaptation.

Take it away...we blunt the response.

Sometimes, damage is a good thing...

@timesthrowin A. Slot tighter… 😬

Stu McMillan has spiked my interest with “knee behind hip” 🤔🏃🏻‍♂️💨 @ALTIS

Does anyone see a real pattern with tendon compression with RDLs? I don't, but if you are a therapist or performance pro with strong evidence or case studies, please share them with me.

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

If you want to get stronger, you need to make these things happen…

1. Lift 2-3x per week at least
2. Do NOT miss lifts or trainings
3. Track your weights
4. Stick with movements over time
5. Move the bar w/ max intent
6. Improve your grip strength
7. Add weight whenever you can

UNIFIL statement on recent IDF grenade attacks near peacekeepers and Lebanese soldiers:

Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dropped grenades near peacekeepers working alongside Lebanese soldiers to provide security for civilian workers in Maroun ar-Ras.

-Deadlift- Over-coming
-Copenhagen- Yielding
-Shoulder Press- Over-coming
-Hamstring Bridge- Yielding

[Stephen Eustace @stepheneust]

Playing around with some isometric loading- Yielding & Over-coming.

It’s something I use a bit but plan on doing a deeper dive on- particularly over-coming iso’s!

What iso’s do you use? 🤔

[Stephen Eustace @stepheneust]

Is this style more prevalent at underage/youth athlete stage of development? 🤔

[Joel Cressman @JoelCressman]

Decision-making can’t be trained separately from the game.

In 2019, researchers analyzed the effects of a brain training program Neurotracker for volleyball.

The results? Players got better at the Neurotracker… but showed no improvement on the court.

What’s the biggest barrier to fun in youth sports?

[Stephen Eustace @stepheneust]

@PeterShawMSc Wouldn’t it be great to see the same effort as county/regional development squads put into every club & team! 🙌🏻 Invest there!

[Stephen Eustace @stepheneust]

As much as I think development squads/academies are a good idea, so many kids are getting left behind & we’re investing so much into a smaller % of kids! It’s generally the early bloomers that get selected for these squads leaving late bloomers stranded

[Peter Shaw @PeterShawMSc]

Week 1 - Talent ID.
Week 2 - Development Squad/Academy Selections
Week 3 - Burnout
Following season - "he just doesn't seem to enjoy it anymore"

Imagine being 12 and told you're ‘falling behind.’

Behind what... retirement!?

Here’s a wild idea: fun, friends, play lots of games, co-create sessions, improve their confidence and watch their competency thrive. Oh and you'll have the highest participation rates your organisation has ever had and you'll retain more than ever too.

@ThePunnyWorld Was asked in an interview “what are my weaknesses “
I said “I think my honesty is a weakness “
Interviewer said “I don’t think that’s a weakness “ to which I replied “I don’t give a fuck what you think!” 🤣
