@Omid_HopeUni Good article. But a corky in Australia is not a cramp, it’s an intramuscular haematoma generally associated with a contact injury in sport

@JaredPowell12 Did he say training tibs made his calves stronger?? 🫢

Neuroscientist talking about tibs and sciatica and posture. It’s pure chaos

@mikeoniron @Alan_Couzens Good question!

I don't mean to be a #WetBlanket ... But the reality is you're going to have to train *a lot* as you get older just to maintain some semblance of fitness. Not get better. Just maintain. You're going to need to become OK with this and, more importantly, find a mindset that sustains it. That said, trust me, the alternative - not maintaining some semblance of fitness as you get older isn't a place you want to go.

@doctorinigo Brilliant video! Thank you for such a concise and clear explanation. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge so well!

Training Zones Explained. This took me a while but I wanted to explain how I see training zones according to the different bioenergetics characteristics of each zone and how I use them with athletes, patients, fitness and longevity purposes. Hope the video can be useful!. youtube.com/watch?v=VcYyHX…

@cricketingview Jeez, you just got hammered, with good reason. Take the L!

This is one of the Shah Rukh Khan things. When Warne bowled into these footmarks, that was, apparently, a glorious thing. When Ravindra Jadeja bowls into them, its a doctored pitch. twitter.com/hxnslanda2/sta…

@Venkatramansre3 @PictureSporting Oh still salty after losing the World Cup?

@PictureSporting This is the Culture of Aussies Chappell on his way to meet Bradman beer in one hand Cigar in another hand ironically for disciplinary hearing. Chappell has set the standard Mitchell Marsh emulating it different way by his legs on coveted WC. That's Aus Culture bloody minded

Ian Chappell arrives for a disciplinary hearing with Don Bradman sipping a beer and smoking a cigarette. It took place after the close of the final day of the South Australia v England tour match at Adelaide, December 6th 1979 ...

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read: “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” -Nate White

@theTiser Pretty sure Albo didn’t start the AUKUS deal and get us in this position.

@CKellyUAP You are still as irrelevant as ever! Get back in your hole

The prize 🏆for the most out-of-touch MP from the referendum goes to Chris ‘Blackout’ Bowen🥇the Member for McMahon. When Bowen took time out from his busy schedule of following instructions from UN globalists to wreck Australia’s electric grid with his "renewables" delusion - he campaigned with YES activists. Yet, his electorate voted 65% NO. That seems to the highest NO vote amongst MP’s that told people to vote YES. Surely that deserves a special trophy 🏆🥇

Walking around in the shops of my electorate today and thinking how greater than every second person I saw could not see in their heart to vote yes to a simple proposal to improve the lives of our first Australians! That is f#%!ed
