I pick weights up and spin them around. Follow my journey to reclaim my 40" vertical jump.

For physique and AI models, it's weight training all the way down.

@alpaysh I can't believe that an Anthropic employee is actually being nice to AI for once rather than gaslighting it to commit war crimes

@noslopmaxima the dream is a latent space

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@Hitchslap1 In the studies, even when twins are raised apart, they are still adopted by pre-selected middle class families. Of course their IQs would be similar.

You have no studies comparing raised by wholesome geniuses with optimal diets vs abusive drug addicts in the ghetto.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

This type of stats are meaningless, because most adoptive parents aren't geniuses who intentionally try to IQ max their adopted kids.

The mean does not inform the outliers.

Hitchslap is one of the worst midwit coalpoasters on this site.

No understanding of mechanisms.

[Hitchslap @Hitchslap1]

Identical twins raised in completely different homes still end up with more similar adult IQs than fraternal twins raised in the same home.

Parenting and the shared environment have very little effect on adult IQ.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@Hitchslap1 That's the wrong data to look at. To determine the impact of environment. You should be comparing people raised in the best possible environment vs worst possible environment. We have studies on the impact of lead and alcohol poisoning and childhood abuse on IQ.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@walterwhitepill None of the above. The adopted kids would have had childhood lead poisoning and drink underage if they weren't adopted. The baseline is much lower than he assumed.

@fastrlife Very common for track programs to run in the mornings and lift in the afternoons

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@baha_nur This is far from the most impressive thing he has done. I've done 1 min hold, 15s breathe, add 15s, repeat, all the way up to 2min 45s hold. But some of his other feats I haven't gotten to even half of what he did.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@BodyRecompExprt @sam_gzstrength Nothing wrong with balance exercises. If I do split squats at all, it would specifically be for training my balance. But for absolute strength, I'm going with back squats every single time.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

Prime example is Mike Israetel who can't even broad jump 3ft.

I like BJJ, but your athletic foundation should start from your feet. You miss out on a lot when you spar from a sitting position.

[Hyde 💨 @BreatheLesss]

BJJ is just a devastating toxin for the average nerdoid. Slightly chubby chubs tech haggard is convinced he now possess the power to kill a man with a gogoplata. Yet, lack athleticism, explosive power, and whatever else comes from a boxing gym or even football. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that they think they've discovered a way to intellectualize fighting and are very arrogant about it.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@wordgrammer Let me know when you figure it out, but I want my version to be done in the voice of Scooby Doo or Boomhauer

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

Horrendous advice.

Health and athleticism first for your whole life.

God will bring the right girl and wealth into your life at the right time.

Exact order/timing of operations will differ for everyone, but you need to stay fit the whole time.

[Kevin Xu @kevinxu]

ok since apparently this needs explaining:

get the girl before the money. your 20s are when everyone’s still dating for love and nobody has anything. once you’re rich you’ll never really know.

then get the money. as much as possible, as fast as possible.

then use the money to buy back your health before it’s too late. trainer, diet, doctors, ozempic, whatever.

love gets harder with money.
health gets easier with money.

few understand (apparently)

@max_stoneking @Bengal_DPT @mandaout12 Your static mobility is a highly correlated indicator for if your stretch-shortening cycle is limited by the stretch, but it's not necessarily something you need to actively train for.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@max_stoneking @Bengal_DPT @mandaout12 To be clear, hypermobility is bad. There is a curve for which elasticity of the achilles tendon maximizes your force production. It should stretch just far enough, but not beyond that. And the dynamic loading matters far more than how mobile you are statically.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@max_stoneking @Bengal_DPT @mandaout12 Idk if there's a hard rule for a specific angle, depends a lot on the athlete's limb ratios and if their jumping/sprinting form looks off. You need to maximize the combined output of stiffness + elasticity for your build.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@Bengal_DPT Hmmm it really depends on the specific athlete. I do agree with you that you don't necessarily need to directly train for passive ankle mobility at the bottom of a squat. But your mobility should improve over time if you're focused on improving performance.

This is a great video

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@Bengal_DPT @mandaout12 Yes. You can use force plates to measure. You can also calculate your RSI from slow-mo camera.

[Weightrotator @weightrotator]

@Bengal_DPT Studies measuring elite sprinters and high jumpers consistently find that their passive weight-bearing dorsiflexion sits in this 35°–42° window.

The achilles acts like a spring. This range is the best spring elasticity + stiffness for force production.
