Listening to the Chris & Paul Show today, with a really important premise overall…
Understanding mechanisms, not just outcomes
When someone makes progress in training, it’s important to understand what training mechanisms helped lead to those adaptations. People always want to be handed the exact exercises, copying the same routines someone else did to make progress. That’s not it.
It’s important to understand the principles that will lead to the desired result. From there, you can find *your* route to get there.

It was a real honour and pleasure to join Chris Beardsley @SandCResearch and Paul Carter as the first guest on their podcast talking about carbohydrates and glycogen’s role in muscle hypertrophy, particularly during overreaching.

I am absolutely loving this book from @SandCResearch.
Really getting me to think about program design for golfers.
Will likely inspire a couple of blog posts.
Thank you, Chris.
PS - it’s only $3.

Adds to the evidence suggesting that movements that utilize simultaneous hip and knee extension (eg squat, lunge) don’t involve the biarticular hamstrings and rec fem. Questions around the use of these movements in guiding rehab/progression criteria? Or for inj prevention?

Great summary of my work by @SandCResearch. If you haven't already, you can check out the article here:

Which is better for increasing hamstrings fascicle lengths? The Nordic curl or the Razor curl? And should we add weight or use unweighted Nordics?

Fantastic article on Periodisation by @SandCResearch citing some of the great review excerpts by @simplysportssci xitter.cf/simplysportssci/status…
What is this thing we call PERIODIZATION? Very nice blog by @SandCResearch on the fog surrounding our interpretation of the term 'periodization'. Worth a read! medium.com/@SandCResearch/wh…

A nice infographic on our recent paper comparing the effects of periodized versus non-periodized training programs on muscular hypertrophy.
Bottom line: non-periodized programs seem to be equally effective as periodized programs - at least over the short-term (i.e. 12-16 weeks) xitter.cf/SandCResearch/status/9…

Good scientific theories make risky predictions, prohibit many outcomes, are testable / falsifiable, and are hard to vary in the face of contradictory data. stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/pop…

From now on I'm only reading original articles' methods and results. The rest is pure fiction. @TonyBlazevich

The dumb things PTs do catch a lot of heat, but when they stay in their lane I’d hope the majority are making a positive impact. xitter.cf/sandcresearch/status/9… – at Chelmsford, East

This is something that I’ve talked about with JB Morin and he pointed out French sprinter Lemaitre that he is not very strong but has insane force production at higer speed.

Important: what TYPE of strength does your athlete need? If you don’t know, you need to know. xitter.cf/sandcresearch/status/9…
