Journey to bring back Silverbowl to Ohigh. History made against Mack. Locked in 1st seed in OAL with win against Tech (42-12). Let’s gooooooo. #Wildcats #OhighPlayas #ItsATakeover @TyyHopkins @jayden_daughtry @Marc_McCoy0 @DavidHicks2027 @zero_effortzay @carteranoited @Oliver_Grimm_ @WildcatCoachT

Hey Dad Happy Birthday in Heaven Even though Me and “Old Man Bob” never really had the normal father / son relationship that most enjoy, it doesn’t mean that I don’t miss him and his smart ass comments (he had plenty of them) that he’d share whether you asked or even wanted to hear!!! He once told me he always carried 2 pennies with him so he could “throw his 2 cents in” anytime he wanted and trust me… he damn sure would, I kinda need some of his brutally honest advice. Happy Birthday Dad!! Until we meet again, please know that you are definitely missed. Don’t know why but his birthday seems to have hit me a little harder this year than in years past. Time to hit the gym, the one thing we shared as father and son. Suicide Sucks #oldstrongguysrule #powersportstrengthconditioning #

💪 Muscles aren’t the only tissues adapting to training! A meta-analysis found that mechanical loading increases tendon stiffness, with greater adaptations at higher loads. Both isometric and dynamic training work. ⚠️ Stiffer ≠ injury-proof. link.springer.com/article/10…

The term “fatigue” is often thrown around online as though it represents a single, unified phenomenon. It doesn’t. Fatigue can be acute or chronic. It can be peripheral or central, or systemic, involving multiple organ systems. These distinctions have important implications for how we interpret fatigue and manage it in a training context. Nuance matters.

Here’s a breakdown of some velocity guidelines for common weightlifting exercises. If you want to see the actual loads, sets, reps, and progressions we use to develop strength, speed, and power, it’s all outlined in Speed Kills. My best selling 8 week program/ebook, used by

A single resistance training session triggers acute metabolic, molecular & neuropsychological responses. But acute responses ≠ long-term health benefits, and evidence varies across outcomes. Adaptations require repeated training. peerj.com/articles/21827/

It was an honor to co-author the International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand evaluating the scientific evidence on dietary strategies for weight loss and body composition (PMID: 42867412). Huge kudos to @thealanaragon for spearheading the effort. Some key takeaways: --Calorie deficit is king: Weight loss is primarily driven by sustained energy restriction, with dietary approaches best tailored to individual preferences and goals. --Intermittent fasting isn't superior: Time-restricted eating and other fasting strategies generally produce similar weight and fat loss compared with continuous calorie restriction. --Carb vs fat ratios are overrated: Both lower-carbohydrate and lower-fat diets can be similarly effective for fat loss. Ketogenic diets may lead to greater reductions in fat-free mass, but this appears to be partly attributable to changes in glycogen/water stores. --Protein matters: Intakes of 1.2–1.6 g/kg/day are appropriate for the gen pop, while 1.6–2.2 g/kg/day may optimize muscle anabolism when combined with resistance training. Higher intakes may benefit lean, resistance-trained individuals dieting in a caloric deficit. --Lift weights to preserve muscle: Resistance training combined with adequate protein intake is essential for minimizing lean mass loss during weight reduction. --Meal frequency is flexible: Eating more frequently does not inherently enhance fat loss, although distributing protein across at least three meals daily may benefit muscle retention and performance. --Aggressive dieting isn't necessarily better: Very-low-calorie diets can accelerate short-term weight loss but offer no clear long-term advantage and may increase the risk of muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies. --Metabolic adaptation is real: Energy expenditure can decline during weight loss, sometimes beyond what is predicted by changes in body composition. However, these adaptations aren’t inevitable and may diminish with weight stabilization. Bottom Line: There is no universally superior diet for fat loss. The best approach is one that creates a sustainable calorie deficit, provides sufficient protein, incorporates resistance training, and aligns with individual preferences to promote long-term adherence. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
