@HerrimanJosh @rafejudkins @WOTonPrime As long as he can call people fools and berate them for mistreating his instruments, of course.

@tonygentilcore1 This rings so true. When I ran competitively (eons ago) I thought walking was the dumbest thing ever. Now I think it's one of the greatest.

@Coach_BrettB Less common response:
Not pulling clients/athletes back or pushing deloading when I think they need to be but they say otherwise.

@loganjconnors Hell, I feel that way on blog posts.

@JasonMarcucilli @EricCressey Sometimes you get tuned out even when you are a coach because you're family.

@EAllen0417 @BioLayne The validity of the fist statement notwithstanding, that doesn't seem like a fair comparison. Would you consider people suffering from gout to be in the top 1% of a limb health?

While folks argue about resistance training 🏋🏼‍♂️ being better than endurance training 🏃🏻‍♀️ or vice versa, it’s best to do what you like to do. Not what someone thinks you should do. Most humans don’t exercise. Just do something 🏋🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♂️🚣‍♂️🚴‍♀️

Study indicates concurrent HIIT and resistance training doesn't negatively impact hypertrophy or upper body strength. Negative effects on lower body strength may be reduced by incorporating running based HIIT and longer rest https://t.co/MP9sVagJtM

No, protein does NOT cause calcium to leach out of your bones. If anything, protein restriction is bad for bones! Bones are *made of* protein, y’know. They’re not just calcium sticks of chalk! https://t.co/YjJIikCdOg

"Evidence-based" does not mean to simply go by the research. Research only provides guidelines for applied practice. The true evidence-based practitioner synthesizes what we know from research and uses his personal expertise in context of the individual to optimize results.

Client telling me a story of an interaction of a friend of hers from work:

Friend: "Girl, how do I get legs like yours?"

Client: "You gotta lift heavy stuff."

Friend: "Shit."

[Brad Schoenfeld, PhD @BradSchoenfeld]

Lifting weights is the closest thing to the fountain of youth 💪

@Sort_Dem_Out @EricCressey @tdathletesedge Can't speak for @ericcressey but virtually anything that loads the spinal erectors while allowing a neutral spine and doesn't create such a strong arch in the lumbar region.
