Friendly reminder… If you’re not resting properly, you’re probably not training speed!

@Fred__Duncan Central fatigue takes a long time to become symptomatic. Even then the CNS recovers quickly. Sleep 😴 is the priority.

You can’t max out every quality at once and expect performance to keep rising. At some point, the rope snaps… Too much max effort work, too much speed work, too much skill work, not enough recovery and output drops. That’s a big part of what Force & Expression is about.

@timkettenring 🤣

@exphys117 😂😂 perfect. Just what we need.

Newsflash: you can’t “burn up the CNS” of a high school athlete for like a million reasons…but here a few: 1. Lack of myelination 2. Slow rate coding 3. Slow firing rates 4. Relative low % of motor unit recruitment 5. Lack of consistent motor behavior 6. Low contralateral control

@timkettenring ↓ End-exercise peripheral fatigue constrained to individual critical threshold Marcus Amann killed it

@timkettenring It’s all upstream. Peripheral metabolic disturbance (H⁺, Pi, K⁺, lactate, etc.) ↓ Group III/IV muscle afferent activation (metabosensitive thin fibers) ↓ Inhibitory input to CNS → Reduction of central motor drive ↓

@timkettenring Well… you can eventually (kind of) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih

@CoachLashSr It ain’t just you coach trust me. 👊🏼💪🏼

Sometimes I just wanna bring back old school S&C!! Steel plates, no AC, no Mirrors, no fancy equipment, no tablets, no timing systems! Let’s just get in here and Grind!! Show me you really a Dawg for real!

Less than 1% of medical education focuses on nutrition… and 75% of med schools don’t require it at all. @LSUHealthNO and @LSUHS are stepping up to lead the future of healthcare, starting with what fuels it. #WBTTW

@DrNadolsky @GregLehman @mackinprof @SamueleMarcora Do not need academia*

@DrNadolsky @GregLehman @mackinprof @SamueleMarcora I truly believe that a lot of practioner guys mean well there's just a disdain and opinion to be a coach you do not need it. There's definitely some opportunities to build bridges though. Having been on both sides and still on it I do not believe practice and theory need to be

Science takes time and I appreciate @mackinprof listing it. Always good to see what a lot of us in the field have been doing for over a decade is scientifically sound.

@DrNadolsky @GregLehman @mackinprof @SamueleMarcora Mutually exclusive.

@nickd_ssc Are wrong per se. As far as what colleges sell to kids these days that's a huge mess.

@nickd_ssc Field work with your classes so there's this merging of hands on and education. But yeah these exercise science guys are enthusiasts just like a chemist, or BJJ black belt. I think there's value in it depending on what you want to do. I'm not sure PhDs are claiming practitioners

At the end of the day, the exercise scientists will continue to “science”and pat themselves on the back for codifying things that aren’t that complicated through complicated and self serving bureaucratic processes.

@nickd_ssc I think the problem lies in the overall academic model. If S&C became trade based (more so than it is now) it would be amazing. Take core classes and then for the majority of it go learn/gain experience. But there's some cool stuff happening in the field and lab.

@exphys117 The problem is that they could get the same experience by obtaining an easy certification, like the ACSMs and getting a job as a personal trainer. So why spend the time and money that could be spent gaining experience when the outcome is the same or worse?

@nickd_ssc But yeah I'm genuinely curious as to why out of all your applicants you couldn't hire one of them?

@exphys117 If you’re genuinely curious, this could be an interesting conversation. From your perspective, how does a degree in exercise science prepare someone to coach professionally? Do these programs have a responsibility to attempt to make them competitive candidates?

@nickd_ssc I think specific classes help make someone a better coach for example ex Phys, epigenetics, neuromuscular aspects of exercise, cardiovascular aspects, biomechanics and applied physics. Not saying you don't have to go out and seek a coach nor is picking up a book a bad thing.
