Don’t try to recreate your sport in the gym. Use the gym for a stimulus that your sport doesn’t provide. For outdoor and endurance athletes, that means: -Tendon health -Bone density -Movement control -Top end strength How? Lifting. Build endurance outside, resilience in the gym

No one movement is inherently bad. But… Let’s work on new movement patterns if: 1. Your default way of moving is painful - let’s change something. 2. You can’t move with control in a variety of ways - let’s give you options. 3. You want to perform better - technique matters.

Don’t 1-rep max your life. It’s not unreasonable to say that most people need to lift 40+lbs to get through life. Kids, yard work, suitcases, dog food Does your exercise routine include practice lifting heavier than that? If not, your life might be a series of 1-rep max tests

Strength can certainly improve endurance. Person A: Can squat 200lbs ten times Person B: Never squats more than 20lbs but does lots of reps Lets have them both carry a 20lb backpack for an hour. All other things equal, I’m betting on person A. 20lbs will feel like child’s play

“You are the stiffest I’ve ever seen.” “You’ll need a replacement before you’re 50.” “You’ll never be able to run again” When providers dont know exactly whats wrong, too often they make something up that creates fear. Rather than saying “I don’t know,” they say “You’re broken”

Don’t be afraid to strength train. Forces equal to 4-8x bodyweight go through the legs during running. 1.5xBW or more going down stairs. No matter what you do, train your system to absorb external load. 5lb dumbbells and yellow theraband just aren’t going to cut it #getpt1st

“Should I get PRP?” Well, have you thoroughly assessed: strength, endurance, mobility, balance, coordination, breathing, sleep, nutrition, stress? Have you worked on them consistently for 3-6 months? Then no. I probably would not get an expensive and unproven injection.

Pain and injuries are rarely random. The body is trying to send you a message. Let’s interpret that message before resorting to needles, pills, or scalpels. #physicaltherapy #ExerciseIsMedicine

The world is seething, unsettled, obviously in pain. The problems of PT & healthcare are just another symptom. I see a connection between the opioid epidemic, pain, unnecessary surgical “repairs,” and the unrest of 2020. instagram.com/p/CF_OurMpz3T/… #PhysicalTherapy

Strength training should be high repetition, low load to improve running performance, right..? Great to see another #RunningMyth put to the sword in the current edition! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏋️‍♀️@DrChrisBarton @rwilly2003 ow.ly/Ze6850AinA7

Let’s be honest: it’s not the piriformis. You probably can’t palpate it, you can’t really muscle test it in isolation, and can we really know if it alone needs to be stretched? Let’s all do better and stop the piriformis scapegoating.

Physios - Email from a patient: “I threw my back out and can’t stand up or walk. I’m writing laying on the floor. I cant go to work. What should I do?” What are a few of your immediate triage suggestions to calm down acute, very painful LBP? #getptfirst

Masking has had a dramatic positive impact on death rates in Czech Republic, Hong Kong and Japan without the lockdowns we’ve had. If you care about the sanctity of life, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

People just getting into health and fitness: "I'm trying keto" "I'm mostly paleo" "I'm on the HIIT protocol" "I track everything" "I do lots of recovery" People who have been doing this stuff for years: "I train hard" "I eat—mostly whole foods" "I sleep" "I prioritize community"

As the country begins to reopen. It seems as though everyone is rushing back to life as if nothing happened. Just remember, that those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. #COVIDー19 #InThisTogether

Going hard means going hard. Going easy means going easy. If you never do the latter you can't ever do the former. The cultural pendulum swings all the time. From grind, grind, grind to rest, rest, rest. Anyone who is on the path of long-term progress understands you need both.

"Never Biden" = a vote for Trump "I'm voting Green Party" = a vote for Trump "Write in Bernie" = a vote for Trump "Meh I'll stay home" = a vote for Trump If you're a Trump voter, own it. But don't dress it up as a protest.

“How will we know when to reopen the country?” Any date that is currently being thrown around is just a guess. It’s pulled out of the air. To this point, Americans have been reacting, often too late, and rarely with data” @nytimes #COVID19 nytimes.com/2020/04/06/ups…
