Certain foods seem to go hand-in-hand with football season. Here’s how can you make your Sunday afternoon healthier without overhauling the menu.

Young athletes are experiencing a rise in overuse injuries. Perhaps it’s time we reconsidered our emphasis on sports specialization, especially at early ages.

Further study is needed, but scientists may have figured out how to reverse the aging process.

Consistency trumps everything else:

Two common themes I covered during this past weekend’s workshop in Dublin.

1. 3x52 = “optimal” set/rep scheme for clients. Foster autonomy & Competency so that they hit tree gym 3 days per week, 52 weeks out of the year. Good things will happen.

2. I lied. That was the big one.

The fittest, healthiest people aren't the ones "dieting" the most.

They're the ones making consistent choices month after month, year after year.

Train movements, not muscles:

Beautifully said

Even w/ hypertrophy, there is sometimes a misconception that we need to isolate muscles

Honestly, we often NEED compound mvmts for necessary levels of duress we otherwise couldn’t apply to a muscle

Another Ex: if we do push-ups right the upper back will GROW https://t.co/QsghvTdl3O
