Thanks for sharing @ClifMarshall ! Great to see them in the program. 👊🙏
I met the developers of @StickMobility about 10 years ago when the Bengals Strength Staff did a continuing education opportunity. I’ve used the program ever since. The sticks provide a safe, simple, effective and efficient way to warmup before a workout. Here are a few of the exercises we utilize before a lift, practice, or game.

Anyone looking to cutting edge science to "optimize" their performance who isn't sleeping 7-9 hours a night should start there.

This is my 10 year son. Its football season so I'm going to call him a quarterback. In November he'll be a point guard And in March he'll be a catcher. There is no place for early specialization at his age. When the season is over we move on. He loves sports and coming to the gym. Im past 6 months He's expressed to me the desire to do some training. My goals for him in the gym are to: 1. Have fun so he keeps coming back 2. Expand movement skill set 3. Develop structural resiliency and robustness 4. Establish Bodyweight control with eye towards the future. 5. Improve Reactive ability 6. Have fun His sessions are: Minimally coached Semi-structured Highly engaging This is what we came up with... #LTAD

Here's a great process to build single leg hinge strength from two sticks to weights. #StickMobility #mobility #fitness #lowerbodyworkout #strengthtraining #balancetraining

A diet that's consistently 80-90% wholesome & nutritious is a lot better than a diet that evenly alternates between striving for 100% perfection between bouts of 100% crap.

The power of heavy weights and long isometric holds for athletes isn't so much their value in isolation. Their value is more so in the ways they are specifically combined with the rest of the training regimen (potentiation and recovery).

Infuriating: One day after competing without headscarf at Asian Climbing Competition, #Iran’s Elnaz Rekabi has gone missing, phone confiscated, @IranWireEnglish reports that she is being flown to Evin prison. Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it:

Losing sleep over not getting enough sleep! Not eating well due to confusion with all the different diets! Not exercising for fear of not doing it right or getting injured! Healthcare professionals need to STOP putting people off and START encouraging them more!
