@BioLayne If you spend more than an hour in the gym working out, it might be that you like the mirror more than the weights

Or… hear me out
You just don’t like working hard

When it comes to strength training, more isn't always better. I cut my strength workouts to about 20 minutes because recovery builds strength. Lifting sends your body a signal to build muscle. Recovery is when your muscles and brain adapt to that signal. Most people spend hours in the gym. They never question whether more training helps. Stop grinding at the gym for hours, it's ok to train hard but recover well and build strength that lasts for decades.

I like to use speed eccentrics in my warm ups
Watching Olympic lifters squat is more impressive than powerlifters and it’s not even close
Often you see oly lifters moving insane weight using high bar full depth squats with minimum equipment and no mono lift plus they are usually relatively lean
There must be something about jumping under falling bars all day….
So I like to mimic that
The quick and extreme forces turn on a ton of motor units with little fatigue
Here I “throw the bar” and then “catch the bar”
Not something I recommend for everyone and if you try it use light weight

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is defined by a distinct clinical triad of symptoms: Incontinence, Gait Disturbance, and Dementia. Onset between the ages of 70 and 80.
Can you think a certain elected official who might have this?

@StrengthDebates The role of the hamstrings is to decelerate the weight eccentrically. By attaching to the ischial tuberosity, they lengthen as the femur flexes. You just dropped into the bottom position too fast and "pulled a hammy" (hopefully it didn't avulse from the ischial tuberosity)

Last week during warm ups
I’ve got my diagnosis
Who is smart enough to tell me what I did??

@DrDiGiorgio Looks like the two biggest increases occurred during both Trump administrations and it’s still rising now

This is the result of targeted policies to eliminate independent physician practice.
Make independent practice financially impossible, big hospital corporations buy them for the facility fees and downstream referrals, make access a secondary concern.

Since ObamaCare came into effect in 2014, the average wait time for a doctor appointment went from 18.5 days to 31 days, a 33 percent increase. This reversed the downward trend on wait times from 2004 - 2014. Specialists like OB/GYN went from 23.5 days in 2004 to 42 days in 2025 — a 79 percent increase. In 15 of Americans biggest cities, it now takes longer to see a doctor than it did 21 years ago — by nearly half — even as health-care spending has increased more than 100 percent since ObamaCare.

Drugs disrupt bone turnover making it appear dense, only mechanical loading improves bone architecture and strength

@homegymcoop @WSWayland Yo-yo resistance is a loose cannon, since when did weights stop working

Breaking: Rogue Fitness has finally unveiled their new Rogue Air Rhino at its first event.
They featured it for a 5RM Deadlift event, but I think it will be best suited for training versatility.
It can do:
- Belt squats
- Deadlifts
- Bulgarian split squats
- Lunges
- Rows
- Weighted pull-ups

@homegymcoop This is legitimately a genius piece of equipment.

Don’t go to the gym if you can’t stay out of the kitchen
“Exercise programs that substantially increase physical activity may not produce the caloric deficits predicted by additive models because the body compensates by reducing energy expenditure elsewhere.“

Inspection reveals reduced movement of the right hemithorax.
Percussion is dull and tactile fremitus is absent.
What diagnosis do these findings suggest?

25 years ago I have never expected once to be the oldest, most experienced surgeon in the OR who gets offered a chair to sit down while watching, commenting and guiding the next generation through a difficult procedure... okay, I have to be honest: I've asked for the chair...
Leadership means to step back and sometimes to sit down. Trust the next generation! The future must be bright, because: who operates on us in 15 years???

@DrDiGiorgio Your putting the American worker dependent on their employer:
“Only about 10% of the entire U.S. workforce has been with their current employer for 20 years or more.”

Just let Americans keep their own money and they could all have around $3m at retirement.
