Simply Not Easy

We're all along on this crazy ride of life. Some longer than others. It's hard to put it in any better words than spoken by Jackie Robinson: 'A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives'.

We're continuing our emphasis from last week on single leg vs double leg explosive work. This time just doubling down on the single leg. This is another by the numbers metrics for those like me, who really aren't about the constant measurements. I share my belief to why single leg activity is so important and well as achieving progress.

Not only is it important to cook meat... Most people would say that's obvious. It's also essential to look at how we're cooking the meat. We dig into the health implications for the choices we make. I'm all about enjoying the food experience; taste, culture, and texture; while leveraging our understanding of nutrition to better fuel ourselves to do what we love for longer.

All about the booty today. Because let's be real, when isn't it? We dive into the glute med and it's essential function in the body. From both the fitness and rehab perspective.

The NBA is back. Pumped up to have basketball back in my life. I break down the rules within the bubble and some of the inside schemes going on as this was planned.

In the presence of distress we often have both factors at play to some degree. However, it seems to be our lack of recovery focus far more than doing too much.

The age old physical therapy, Maitland based, MO: Test, Treat, Retest. AKA: think you know what you're doing, see if what you think actually has any validity, do something about it, see if your efforts even mattered, if they did, did they do what you thought they would? Rinse, Lather, Repeat. This applies for all of life, far more than a single profession of time. This applies for Corona Virus, Black Lives Matter, and the major other events in your personal life. Actually, this only applies if you choose to apply it. Now that you know, ignorance is no longer an excuse.

I'm a big fan of the work of David Epstein. Reading that spans across and enlightens many fields and patterns of thinking. I recently read; Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. Today I share my reflections on it and also talk about who would benefit from reading this book.

Today we compare double and single leg exercises. Far more than should you do them, or why. This is a by the numbers practical and simple guide for people who don't want to get into the complexities of the numbers. The research I talk about is from a poster presentation titled: 'Load Comparison Ratio in Single and Double Limb Movements' out of Aspire Academy of Sport Excellence and English Institute of Sport.
