Dipped a toe in this week; all systems are “go.” Project: Fahrenheit 451 officially launches on Monday. Ignore useless hype “advice” drowning SM. Plot a course, marked in pencil; things evolve. Execute, quietly. Nobody cares. Result: in 3.5yrs, a new US 60+ track mile record.

At this point, if you’re still saying ‘transgender people have been banned’ or similar, then you’re either deliberately misleading people, or you’re just an idiot.

Oxidative stress is only a concern for those doing insanely high mileage which most people (including those with a lot of muscle mass) aren't conditioned enough to ever handle. Cortisol is only going to be a problem if your intensity is consistently too high and you're under consuming carbs. Break down muscle again, not enough carbs/total energy intake.
Gary Brecka@thegarybrecka

Chronic cardio is one of the most overprescribed tools in fitness. Long, slow miles every day can increase oxidative stress, elevate cortisol, and break down muscle over time. If longevity is your goal, muscle is the asset. Not mileage. Upgrade your training: - 2 to 3 strength sessions per week - 1 to 2 short interval sessions - daily walking, not endless running Train for performance, not punishment.

@SteAssent @TrailsAndAlesUK If this is code for ‘you’re beautiful in your morbidly/obese body’ then it’s way off the mark. If it’s suggesting some percentage of women could feel better daily if they stopped trying to be as lean as possible, then ok.

Spotted on Instagram Genuinely interested to hear people's thoughts about this. I have some opinions given this is coming from a dietician. But what are your thoughts on this?

@hjluks Wish my gym had one of these. Various BB and Db landmine presses I do are similar, though. The forceful displacement of a lot of weight (body + iron) is pretty effective.

We've had some fun with the Jammers recently... A few of the power moves we have worked on. Sometimes we experiment... Don't be too harsh... It's just an experiment. These seem to be great full-body power moves. But I really don't need the form police to be out in force today.

@totalrunsol @RodMurrow Fun fact: I was in the athlete pool that first season the NCAA initiated drug testing at championship events, 1986-87 season. Got tested all 3 days at swim champs (and the next 3 years). Post-1990, they started expanding beyond champ events. And, yet, plus ca change.

I’ve been saying for years that PEDs have begun to invade the high school level and that the NIL/transfer portal/elimination of the age cap/roster limits combo in the NCAA had thrown gas on the fire and a lot of people said I was crazy. Maybe now they’ll start to understand.
Steve Magness@stevemagness

Remember the story of a 13 year old signing a 1.3 million dollar deal with the Philadelphia Phillies? They just cancelled it because the kid tested positive for steroids. Insane. Reports say other kids as young as 11 have tested positive. That should be considered child abuse.

@max_stoneking @JasonFitz1 “the CNS impact is high and cannot be done as libitum.” So true. It’s also why ‘super shoes allow for more hard work!’ is a fallacy. While the legs might not feel as beat up, the CNS still gets torched. Just because the legs ‘can’ doesn’t mean the body can or should.

@JasonFitz1 When trained, fast running (to a point) is often more efficient movement all the way around. However, the CNS impact is high and cannot be done as libitum. Longer, slower efforts are the opposite. As you say, you need a bit of both. Training is a game of tradeoffs.

"I started HR training and actually became slower... Running slow has also brought on new injuries and issues." Don't get fooled into thinking all you should do is low heart rate training. Zone 1/2 is great, but it's not everything.

@AlastairMcA30 Let's start with the fundamental principle: Should women's sport exclude male advantage? Yes or no? If no, then you're on another planet, and actually, quite a misogynist. If yes, then OK, let's think about what needs to excluded - male advantage. Who has that? Trans women. Males

This guy is, indeed, correct. Khelif is not trans. He is a male. He always has been and always will be. I hope he provides the cheek swab so the mentally challenged can stop their blathering.
David, Historian Martial Artist🥊@DavidLeftyMA

Imane Khelif is not trans. Even if she were she wouldn't deserve the hate she gets, but Khelif is not trans. This has been definitively proven. These people do not care about women, they care about inciting hatred & profiting off of it.

There's a good deal of very mistaken criticism of the IOC policy, and rebutting it is a big job. And we can't rebut it all. But that's OK, because people can make their own minds up. Here, Caster Semenya makes a series of completely wild accusations against Kirsty Coventry, and against the policy. Whatever you think of Caster's story, however much you might sympathize, Caster is not a good advocate. This is not honest, well-argued stuff. It's empty resentment. Again, that resentment might be a little understandable, however ill-founded it is. But it can't be allowed to influence policy.
Sky News@SkyNews

Double Olympic champion Caster Semenya spoke to Sky's @RobHarris exclusively in reaction to the International Olympic Committee's decision to ban transgender women athletes from female events. Read more on this story: trib.al/sA47d3d

@BigNGandBertie I appreciate the flat honesty. None of this ‘the team tried its best’ stuff when the reality wasn’t the case. Now, the post-race chat on the team bus …

A patient asked me yesterday why so many orthopedic surgeons seem to be in good shape. I told her... Because we know what happens to the human body when we're not. We see it every day. The loss of muscle that makes a preventable fall catastrophic. The joints that hurt not because of decades of neglect and inactivity. People who struggle to get to the exam table. The person who needed a surgery that could have been prevented. The ones who waited too long to start and are frail at 70. Granted... there are those who had no choice in this... but that's not the majority. You don't need a medical degree to act on this information. You just need to understand that the body you have at 70 will largely be the one you are building today.

@UKhotfoodchat @MOON_WALKER6 It’s kinda like doping in that once you see it, it’s extremely difficult to unsee it when you know it’s occurring. Ok, it’s A LOT like doping. Except more egregious.

@ORION_coaching @MOON_WALKER6 It’s really not hard. I don’t know why people try to confuse the issue. They are obviously male and free to compete in the male category. You can literally see the difference.

💔 to all the athletes that would've won medals if these rules were implemented earlier. Not fair to the DSD athletes either but the biological advantages are unmatched. Reminds me of the 2016 800m's Olympic podium which was a clean sweep for DSD athletes.

@MOON_WALKER6 1) DSD is a male condition. They are male. 2) intersex doesn’t exist, like it or not. Large gamete production = female; small = male. It is this simple. 3) CAN compete in the male category. Can’t compete in the female category because (wait for it) they aren’t female.

@ORION_coaching 1. False 2. False 3. Can't compete in the male category because they have a biological disadvantage. Can't compete in the female category because they have a biological advantage. I'm not disputing that WA did the right thing. It was necessary. But I feel bad for them tho.

@MOON_WALKER6 This is an ultimate and fallacious straw man. 1) they’re male, regardless 2) intersex doesn’t exist 3) they aren’t being kept from participating nor competing
