Very cool study from Ben Southey Outlines clear methodology for "single case experimental design" for reactive strength development Such designs could be used much more often in elite sport, n=1 environments (Open access article)

A must read paper that I go back to often: Does initial strength level affect adaptations to weightlifting, plyometric & ballistic training? STRONG (2.01x BW squat) vs WEAKER (1.20x BW squat) groups 10 wk intervention: weightlifting derivatives, ballistic & plyo training

🔥 WOW 🔥 Jude Thomas🇦🇺 with a break out performance Thomas was apparently training the house down at Falls and his bests of 3:37 / 3:56 were looking shakey He gets a run at the Husky Classic🇺🇸 on the 307m, no banks track and takes charge of the race 300m out to finish a close 🥈 behind Nico Young🇺🇸 in 3:51.19 Just misses WiC & WCH entry standards but will be within the WiC ‘top list’ Goes to #7 Australian all-time for mile 🎥 runnerspace , full race: huskyclassic.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?e…

Creatine aids memory formation, mitigates symptoms of depression, and possibly staves off cognitive decline Not to mention the physical performance benefits And no... it doesn't cause hair loss 3-5g/day is a good dose for most people

It was a town hero's welcome for Matt Denny in Allora, 160km south-west of Brisbane. He is the first Olympian to come from Allora and is now their first Olympic medallist. 📸 @QldAcademySport #AllezAUS | @AthsAust

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

Remote work is not a distraction. It's a chance to concentrate. Government workers were 28% more productive on days when supervisors assigned them tasks to do at home, because they were more focused. The office is good for interaction, but it's not always ideal for deep work.

It is widely assumed that maximum motor unit recruitment is reached at the end of a set with light loads. The research does not support this claim.

Injury rates and stiffness represent a U-shaped curve. Stiffer tendons = faster we can transmit force produced by muscle. Performance benefit. But if tendon is "stiffer than the muscle is strong" this can lead to non-contact muscle injury. Performance ⚖️ Injury potential

What can't these girls do? 🤯 The Women's 4x100m relay team have shattered the Australian record once again in London, with Ella Connolly, Bree Masters, Kristie Edwards and Torrie Lewis passing the baton around the track in 42.48 for fourth place. Let's go! 🔥🔥 #AthleticsNation

Fast twitch fibers grow more than slow twitch fibers after strength training. Therefore, there will be a correlation between metabolite production (by fast twtich fibers) and hypertrophy. But metabolic stress is still not a hypertrophy mechanism.
