@Conor_Harris_ What kind of strap did you use to hold the kettlebell?

When it comes to fixing knee pain like Patellar Tendinopathy, this is missing is most people’s rehab plans. Good knee rehab involves 3 keys: ✅ Improving biomechanics (joint range of motion, interplay of kinetics around the knee, foot, and hip) ✅ Strengthening weak tissue around the knee and training it to coordinate better to stabilize the knee ✅ Improving tendon capacity for better, more healthy elastic properties and function Isometrics are a huge component of the last two!

@ZCupples Move

Try these 4 moves: 1. Loosen up muscles along the back and legs – This will help relieve stiffness and improve mobility, making movement feel smoother. 2. Open up the front of the body and back of the hips – This targets the muscles that often tighten up due to rounded shoulders and forward head posture, giving you more freedom in your upper body. 3. Relieve tight muscles all over the body – These movements teach you to move body parts independently, avoiding the stiffness of moving like a "brick" and allowing for more fluid, controlled movement. Improve your body’s ability to rotate – Enhancing your rotational ability helps with everything from posture to athletic performance, making your body more functional overall. !!!!

@SCPodcast2007 @missyMmcbeth @mboyle1959 @Perform_Better Great episode! I need to purchase her book.

“The driving force behind poor athletic development is the parental push to be in more lessons and more paid sports year after year after year.” Say it louder for the parents in the front. @missyMmcbeth @mboyle1959 @Perform_Better

@Toohey_sp How do you go about this with your athletes?

One of the best lessons you can teach athletes is how to spot fraudulent training methods pushed by clout-chasing influencers. Teaching them to separate science from gimmicks protects their long-term health and expectations.

Had a patient this week not want to tell their personal trainer they were taking a GLP-1 medicine because they were worried about being shamed. Let me be clear, if your personal trainer shames you for being a GLP-1 medicine (as long as indicated) then you need a new trainer.

@missyMmcbeth Ross Tucker's website Science of Sport might have those numbers.

Who has the stats on the number/percentage of kids who are classified as “elite” before X age that end up being elite later on? Aka present talent as predictor of future success. To clarify: I’m not seeking the summary that early talent doesn’t predict future talent, seeking the NUMBERS.

@Wendi_Irlbeck Parfait

Comment "Parfait" on this post and I will send you the full recipe!

@CoachVenable1 Thanks!

@prattsprofit No, Brigata had it when I arrived. I’ll ask the owner who designed it and let you know.

A snippet from Harrison’s training session.🧠

@ZacGoodman_ How does the training week look? Are there any back-to-back sprint/jump days?

Prioritize Jumping on Lower Body Strength Days. Prioritize Sprinting on Upper Body Strength Days. This limits the interference you may see from each. This changed the game for my athletes when we structured training like this.

@JoeAratari @RocKnighthawks @NextLevelSCNY Have you tried Ancore? I was wondering how they compare. We're finding that the plates wear out quickly.

Our pro lacrosse guys (NLL) rocking with the new Beyond Power Volta units. These bad boys are 🔥 Today we used the Damper setting (the harder you pull the more resistance you get) and tracked our wattage. Great work by our @RocKnighthawks @NextLevelSCNY

@E3Rehab Where do you get that loop band from?

Leg extensions are no more dangerous than any other exercise. Here are 6 options to choose from!

@BrendanThompsn Excel

Distance runners need to be sprinting regularly!! Here’s why ⤵️⤵️ The concept of speed reserve doesn’t only apply to sprinting The faster your max speed is, the easier it becomes to hold a slower speed. Think about it… No matter how fit you are, you need to be able to run fast in order to run fast. It sounds dumb, but it’s a concept that is often lost on the distance running community. A lot of the fastest milers are able to tap into their foot speed to outkick their opponents in the final push for the finish. The speed needed for this kick can be trained through max velocity sprinting and repeating relatively shorter intervals much faster than race pace. You can check this box by planning a speed oriented session 1-2x/wk. How do I know? I’ve supplemented speed, strength, and power training with distance runners all the way up to the 5k and every single athlete has made fantastic improvements. Think about this as you plan your distance training routine throughout the year! Need help figuring out when and how to include speed work into your chaotic training schedule? Comment “EXCEL” and I’ll DM you details to get started!

@jake_tuura Oh, haha! I read your comment as "wholly true."

@prattsprofit It doesn’t

Violates biomechanics. Wholly untrue.

Be 'boring'. -Wake up early -Go to bed early -Go for long walks -Drink mostly water -See friends and family -Turn off social media often -Eat the same nutritious foods -Progress using the same exercises Being boring makes for bad content but a great life.

@JoeAratari Right on!

@JoeAratari Do you get a lot of wear and tear using sleds on rubber?

If you have sleds, you need to do loaded crossovers! Simple drills to really get into the hip structure 👇👇

@JordanStrength @StuartMcMillan1 Thanks!

@prattsprofit @StuartMcMillan1 20-60% of body mass - that’s just based on my experience

@StuartMcMillan1 and I wrote an article on reflexive eccentrics, a staple in both of our programming for 20 years.
