12 months ago I ruptured my ACL (femoral avulsion). The 42nd person to use Cross ACL bracing protocol (non-operative rehab). Returned to surfing 4.5 months and Australian rules footy <6months. Complete confidence in knee stability. 3 scans show healing at 0-, 3.5- & 12-months

@StrengthDebates I was trying to think of a good one, I like this haha

Now when you skip reps or don’t goto the gym… Chuck Norris will know RIP

@GregLehman @txsportsdoc @steveloh722 Maybe he lifts like this every time thus his tissue adapted and prepared for these moments?

@txsportsdoc @steveloh722 What epidemiological studies did you conduct to determine this? You can not determine risk or injury mechanisms by your personal experience. You help people with injuries but you can’t assess risk.

As an orthopedic surgeon and former college champion powerlifter this isnt how you do it. He may be seeing one of my spine colleagues very soon. 😳

1 more pub for 2025. Stoked to see my @MTPConnect_AUS Fellowship project with @GEHealthCare available. USI is such a value able tool for assessing MSK structures & hopefully tools like STK will assist practioniers get transducer in hand sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @RadiographyJour

@alex_prompter Do you have the papers?

You can use these techniques RIGHT NOW I've been using these with Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-4, and Gemini 2.0 Flash for 6 months. Results: - 100% reduction in hallucinations on technical docs - 3x faster iteration on code generation - 90%+ accuracy on complex analysis tasks The gap between beginners and experts isn't access to better models. It's knowing how to talk to them. These 10 techniques are what separate $200/hr prompt engineers from people who get generic ChatGPT responses. None of this is secret. It's all in research papers. But nobody reads those. Now you have no excuse.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI engineers use 10 internal prompting techniques that guarantee near-perfect accuracy…and nobody outside the labs is supposed to know them. Here are 10 of them (Save this for later):

@VoteLewko This hate is to blame - you hate each other and now Australia suffers…

A furious Israeli in Bondi talks to an ABC reporter and nails it. I wonder how much of this will make it on the ABC... "They were killed. And what did Australia do? Our government, Albanese and Penny Wong, you gave 25 million dollars to Gaza." "You have to stand with Israel because in Israel we have exactly the same values as in Australia. We value life. Those people value death. If you harbour the people who value death. The death will come to Australia. In fact, I'm really sorry, the death came to Australia. This is a Nova Festival massacre in Australia."

@DrEliDavid Post British colonisation, we’ve been relatively ‘lucky’. This event will undoubtedly give birth to hate and racism. Let’s hope that the right people can ensure our beautiful country can regain its safety and peace. Not confident our seemingly rise of wokeness will protect us

Hi Australia 🇦🇺, What did you think "Globalize the Intifada" means?

@mboyle1959 @TomBroback Yeah best to ‘probably’ just make assumptions and discredit the human body’s ability to move and heal

@DrChrisBishop @UKSCA Hi Chris, the link doesn't appear to work

Thanks Manila! Now onto @the_ASCA to present some pioneering ACL rehab work

@latrobe & @CarltonFC recruiting for a PhD on muscle architecture, performance, and injury management in @AFL Yearly stipend $35k AUD/yr plus ~$14.5k AUD top up. Eligibility per PhD entry requirements. MLB based. Preferred start Nov 2025. Contact @DocLachJames

@zentrumsport @gkt10_official Nice work. What sort of variation were you seeing in the SWE? What’s the test retest reliability? I haven’t read the paper yet 🫣

🚨🚨NEW🚨🚨💥💥 More around T junction injuries 👀 Incremental loads added to BFsh < tensile load and stiffness in BF Lh The distal región of the BF lh >stiffness decrease BF Short head PROTECTS long head !🔥 Work on it!💣 A pleasure design this one with 🇯🇵 @gkt10_official

Advancing shear wave elastography for tendon & MSK health 💪 Collab between @QUT & @Griffith_Uni → bridging research & clinical practice to improve diagnosis, rehab & outcomes.

Excited to share that I’ll be heading to Manila this October 18–19 as a keynote speaker at Philippine StrengthCon 2025 🇵🇭💪 I’ll be presenting on two areas related to my research and applied coaching practice: 📖 Cross Bracing Protocol – redefining ACL rehab without surgery 🏋️ Sleds for Speed – implementing resisted sprint training in field-based sports This event is a great opportunity to connect with coaches, practitioners, and researchers who are passionate about improving performance and reducing injury risk through evidence-based practice. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the University of Santo Tomas.

@EamonnFlanagan Oh my…

Teaming up at the 2025 #asca_conf this November to discuss the Cross Bracing Protocol (an alternative to potentially avoid the intrusive surgical ACL procedure). @Duhigs and @SarahHervert10 | Learn more at strengthandconditioning.org/international-…

@AndrewM32977472 👏

New Research Alert Excited to share our latest study in the @JSCRonline Well done Andrew Martin on your 1st PhD study @Phil_Bellinger @clareMINAHAN @MBourne5 journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/abst… Highlights: Validated RSS profiling protocols tailored for female athletes. Optimal load identified: ~59–72% body mass (BM) for peak power (50%Vdec). Trial distances: 10–30 m for effective profiling. Key Message: Coaches can now personalise resisted sprint loads for female athletes with the aim of enhancing acceleration and sprint performance.

Why 50% VDEC? While unresisted sprinting yields the highest velocity, it may not reflect peak power output. At ~50% velocity loss, athletes appear to strike a balance between force and speed, potentially maximising power output. This load point has frequently been associated with improvements in acceleration and horizontal force production in resisted sprint training, particularly in male cohorts.

Day 1: 2 x Unloaded sprints (40 m) 3 x 40% BM (20 m) 2 x 80% BM (15 m) Day 2: 2 x Unloaded sprints (40 m) 3 x Optimal Load (e.g. 65% BM) (15–20 m) 2 x 25% BM (30 m) Ideal rest = 4min but time permitting (1.5min if limited time availability)
