Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato

Kelsi Mitchell and Aliyah Boston are the Jordan and Pippen of the Fever. Caitlin Clark is the Tony Kukoc.

@RepByRepX “Eating smarter” is about leanness. Training is about muscle development.
If you want a smaller physique, then diet.
If you want more muscle, then training.
If you want to change your body composition to one of less fat and more muscle, then focus on BOTH.
English
@Kxngstn_ Back Rows, because there are countless variations of rows with different equipment, angles, and hand positions, all of which hit the back differently for better total back development.
And, most people can’t get the VOLUME of pull-ups necessary to induce optimal growth.
English
@turkwav Wow, you’re a real POS. Dude is obviously a work in progress to undo his PAST decisions. And you shit on him as he’s making positive changes, doing stuff you can’t do most likely. Maybe that’s why you’re an asshole troll?

People will do anything to justify their poor eating habits

consistency
English
If a “health and fitness pro or bro” insists that either cardio or lifting is better on its own for overall health than doing both in sufficient amounts, then their bias has overruled their objectivity, and you should question their judgement.
English
@Brady_H Both is literally better than either in isolation.
And strength training vs aerobic for “healthspan” is more interesting than “lifespan” anyway…it’s the “life in your years”, just as much as the “years in your life”…
English
2 hours of resistance training/week = 13% mortality risk reduction and no further benefit above that.
~7 hours+ of aerobic training per week (same study) = 47% mortality risk reduction.
Not hard to see which form of exercise is more potent. 😁
Dr. Rhonda Patrick@foundmyfitness
Strength training for 90-120 minutes per week is associated with up to a 30% lower risk of death from all causes, CVD, cancer, and neurologic disease. That seems to be the upper limit - no additional benefit was observed above 120 minutes of strength training per week. These benefits were independent of total aerobic activity, but combining strength training with ~5-15 hours of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic activity reduced all-cause mortality risk by 45%! Clear message here is: "do both."
English
@foundmyfitness Where do steps fit? There is data that show an incremental & significant benefit vs all cause mortality with ⬆️steps (and faster walking). Could one infer that 8k steps plus strength training be sufficient without formal “cardio” if the HR rises sufficiently enough when walking?

@realPeterMonge @foundmyfitness It is right. There is a range. Do both.
English
@foundmyfitness 5-15 hours is quite a range.
Doesn’t seem right
In other words, cardio is more important than strength training? Seems like not all factors are being taken into account.

Caitlin Clark fans can retire that little graphic that lists the same 5 records worded 30 different ways because they’re all gonna be snatched in no time

Olivia Miles now has the most threes made in a game by a rookie in WNBA history 🎯
English
@DiBrander In other words, both have good value (you don’t need actual pull-ups to strengthen the pulling muscles in a vertical plane), but that is different than trying to perform actual pull-ups. Both are two different approaches and have different applications.
English
@DiBrander Assisted pull-up is ok for some vertical pulling, but like Lat Pull-Downs, it doesn’t really transfer well to actual pull-ups. It’s just a closed-chain (hands don’t move) vs open chain (hands move) pulling action.
IMO, “jump” pull-ups combined with slow negatives is better.
English
Some people would consider assisted pull-ups cheating. I prefer to see it as training wheels to help me progress to body weight reps.
It’s good to use the tools available to you.
English
@ash_tvaddict And she did nothing compared to what CC did in 2024 as a rookie. There’s levels to this.
English
Rookie Paige doing what she did with the 2025 Dallas Wings is still insane to me. There’s levels to this.
ESPN Insights@ESPNInsights
Olivia Miles scored or assisted on 44 points on Thursday, the most in any game of her WNBA career. 💪 She's now scored or assisted on 317 points in 10 career games, 1 point behind Paige Bueckers for the most by any player through 10 games in WNBA history 😱
English
Not only is this NOT a foul, but, even if it were, they let Rhyne Howard defend Caitlin Clark like this the entire game.
That constant contact at the meeting point was never a thing...until CC did it.
I disagree. CC doesn't come forward AT ALL on her sliding.
Great lateral movement.
Jordin Canada basically face butts CC, hurts her face, gets rewarded for it 😂

@BrianCPT @FurbabyPaws @jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB CC averages .5 assists more than Alyssa Thomas

This video has 140k views. A year ago it would have 5 million. They killed Caitlin Clark.
Indiana Fever@IndianaFever
Caitlin Clark with a SICK sidestep triple 😳
English
@PastorDScott @FurbabyPaws @jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB RBs are less valuable than assists because they don’t always lead to points - especially when they are from your your own inept missed shots. Her awful FG % from within 5’ is hilarious compared to a guard shooting much farther away. And TOs come with the territory for playmakers.
English
@BrianCPT @FurbabyPaws @jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB CC also leads the W in turnovers. Angel Reese leads the league in rebounds and averages a double double. How many others are doing that?
English
@PastorDScott @FurbabyPaws @jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB And CC leads the W in assists and 20ppg. How many others are doing that?
English
@FurbabyPaws @jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB She had 8 assists. Jordin Canada had 7 assists for Atlanta. 🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿
English
@jasonwhitlock @buffalohunterCB She went 2-8 from the 3pt line, and 5 million people are supposed to be jumping up and down over 1 that she made? Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell both went 3-4 from 3, and there’s no mention. “They” didn’t kill her, she killed herself.
