Wondering what it will take for the “academic revolt” to happen. If not this, then what? Service is one thing, but estimates like these reveal something wayyyy more aggressive. JMO

@StrengthDebates Learn to paint corners at 90 mph and lose the obsession with three-digit heaters

What is the best way to prevent arm injuries for pitchers?? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

@spikesonly Think of this as a new way to apply specificity without over complication. Focus on physics rather than unnecessary technical minutiae

@spikesonly I think not. Step pattern and distance are coachable strategies on the track. You don’t have to run that same way when running with resistance (generally). It’s about increasing capacity to apply impulse, which transfers to performance when refining on track strategies

Resisted Sprinting will age like a wine cooler. Bartels and James or Zima with the body speed calculations? Screenshots and time stamps…

@spikesonly Ultimately, I think the goal of resisted training has been over complicated

@spikesonly Jotted this down real quick. Hopefully it makes sense:

@spikesonly I don’t want to minimize value of load & overvalue speed of the exercise. I want to value motion created Ex: a slower run with heavy load and a faster run with lighter load can have the momenta, but the faster run will have higher KE because the squared velocity.

@johnharry76 Why not kinetic energy?

@firecashman @mrdougellin I’d rather watch Walsh’s Medellin

@mrdougellin Id rather watch the 4 hour Walsh cut of Queens Blvd

Looks kind of good, but could not be more bored by this. Lasted about 80 seconds. If this is the future, reality tv will be mine.

@spikesonly Aaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd it will be in legit T&F sprinters and hurdlers

@spikesonly We will be exploring Momentum-based load selection and load-specific run distances to maximize the stimulus and minimize wasted work

@johnharry76 Can you give us a direction or is this a teaser ?

More fun exploring elite pitching kinematics in the @TTU_Biomech and @TTU_Baseball pitching lab!

Another day in the (fun) office!! The upper extremities actually exist… @TTU_Baseball @SMerrBullpen @HunterD_20

That time of year! VIP access for my lil dude! @TTU_Baseball alumni game!

Weather won’t stop development in the lab! @TTU_Baseball @TTU_Biomech

Let’s goooo @TTU_Baseball @SMerrBullpen @TTU_Biomech

@manback732633 @StrengthDebates Yeah, ok. Good chat. 🤙

@johnharry76 @StrengthDebates See, this why having conversations like this is annoying. You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. MVC can be tested both isometrically or dynamically. The statistic I gave you is from a dynamic test of high level baseball pitchers. How much did Randy Johnson bench?

If bench press makes you a worse baseball player You likely weren’t much of a player in the first place

@manback732633 @StrengthDebates The whole point was about pec contributing (assisting). That demonstrates the value of it being strong, especially given this int rotation is some of the fastest motions produced by the human body. Lastly, MVC is a static test which can’t be used to define max dynamic potential

@johnharry76 @StrengthDebates That literally just tells you the pectoralis is an assistant in internal rotation lol. It activates at roughly 54% MVC while the overall complex reaches 185% muscle test strength. Meaning the pectoralis isn’t fully engaged. It assists.

@manback732633 @StrengthDebates

@johnharry76 @StrengthDebates The pec is a very minor contributor to international rotation.
