Starting 2026 with a bang! Enjoy :) bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Happy 2026 📢 📢 Our latest publication It is not all about strength… BJSM bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… @JaredPowell12 @shoulder_physio @WoodwicksLianne @AidanCashin @JeremyLewisPT

@DrAJHall @andNickMullins An armchair pundit @DrAJHall and @andNickMullins discussing @EnglandRugby s victory over the Allblacks at HQ 🏉 🌹

@andNickMullins Thoroughly enjoyed a post full time chat with you @andNickMullins in the stands. Very kind of you to entertain two amateur rugby fans with your insight. Again- thanks for all the balanced commentary on these games!

Been a while since Twickenham was that raucous. Feels like a defining, bookmark win for England. What would November be without these Autumn Tests? Golden.

@JaredPowell12 @Dr_Ben_S @JeremyLewisPT @HingWayne @nathaliaccosta1 Many congratulations 👏

Today I passed my PhD. Here are the numbers: 80,000 words 230 pages 6 years 5 first author publications and another under review 2 kids 1 marriage 1 pandemic All my hair gone 😂 Worth it. Thanks to the team @Dr_Ben_S @JeremyLewisPT @HingWayne and @nathaliaccosta1

Nearly there, 46 more responses would be great!!! 🙏🙏 Do you see patients with suspected CES? We are looking for: 1. NHS clinicians, that 2. Work in a primary care setting in England, and 3. Assess or manage people with low back pain Follow this link: forms.office.com/e/pSjHUp55h4

@JaredPowell12 @JaredPowell12 thanks for posting 👍🏻 Can I ask why you favour resistance training? Personal preference? Based on supporting evidence? Thanks

Massive, important study here (kudos to authors) and it originally tickled my bias favouring resistance exercise. On closer inspection, R.Ex doesn't out-perform other exercise or non-exercise Rx for hip and knee OA. Combined Ex + non-ex is better than R.Ex alone for pain relief.

@erikMeira @GregLehman Patients/clients often want fixing too, which probably drives therapists to try and take the role of the fixer somehow🤷‍♂️ Then when it ‘works’ and a person gets better it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy

@GregLehman I don't disagree that there are more in this movement, but from a critical mass perspective I think the dent is small. The public voice of the profession is...not this. Because of that, I think the new people the profession draws have a inherent "fixer" view.

My latest blogpost. Yeah I might be having a bit of an existential crisis 🤷🏻‍♂️ thesciencept.com/who-are-we/

@timcook80 @GregLehman @BradSchoenfeld Yes and yes! bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/18/…

The strength-endurance continuum as it was thought to exist

@mackinprof @GregLehman @BradSchoenfeld Great thank you so much for sharing!

@GregLehman @timcook80 You can (shock) get away with (very) little RT and get (big) benefits. This paper with @BradSchoenfeld is a keeper link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@GregLehman @mackinprof @BradSchoenfeld In other words...If I set up a trial comparing two weekly time-efficient resistance training programmes to treat shoulder pain that last 6 weeks - is that long enough to see an expected effect on strength??? Thanks

@GregLehman @mackinprof Thanks! I'm aware of Iverson and @BradSchoenfeld 's work on time-efficient training - do we know the minimal number of weeks we need to train prior to seeing significant gains in strength??

@jacksonfyfe Thanks for sharing. Do we have data on how many weeks training we need to perform before we see a significant improvement in strength? Thinking along the lines of minimal effective dose?? 1/week for ?weeks to see sig change??

What’s the “best” type of resistance training? “All combinations of load, sets, and weekly frequency improved strength, muscle mass, and physical function compared to the non-exercising control group”. For most people, just getting started with resistance training (in a safe way) is key. Once we do, we can focus on lifting more weight (for strength) or doing more sets (for muscle size) to increase the benefits. Great new blog and summary based on the recent study by @brad_currier @MACleod_JC @mackinprof blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2023/11/2…

@GregLehman @mackinprof Practical implication - could a trial get away with 1 session per muscle group per week for 6 weeks to see improvements in strength in that muscle group? Trying to think of ways to boost adherence. 2/week for 12 weeks seems unrealistic for general population in a clinical setting

@mackinprof OK, that was my take away from the individual studies. I thought that you were saying the opposite. That training HEAVY was superior to training Medium loads for strength.

@GregLehman @mackinprof Do we have data on frequency and duration of training to see significant gains in strength for untrained individuals? Does 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks provide significantly more strength gains than 1 session/week for 6 weeks? Does matching weekly volume matter for strength?

@erikMeira @EIPConsult Thanks for a fantastic and relevant contribution to the profession delivered in an engaging and entertaining way 👍🏻

Thanks to everyone for listening over the years! The podcast is in good hands and @EIPConsult and I are excited about its future
