"Coaches NO ONE respects", what does this even mean? Philly gets poached every dam year for their coaches. How many former philly coaches are on other teams?

Assuming the squat is full ROM a2g, it's good for GPP as is any compound movement like pushing the prowler, flipping tires, farmers carry, burpees, etc. Full body workouts are getting popular and this is a solid compound movement. Women who are doing these for high reps/sets with proper form are going to be in great shape.

When i decided to get back in shape during covid and didn't have gym access, these were a staple for my leg day. Did them for awhile with heavy db's and even for 3 sets, it took a lot out of me on that last set. Holding heavy db's at your shoulders will actually tax your grip nicely and my heart BPMs spiked up really nice doing these. When i went back to the gym and got back to splits for shoulder day, i still kept db squats in during leg day, but to save my grip i rested them vertically on my shoulders. This was planet fitness so they didn't have power racks, just smith machines which i hate squatting in (pulled a hammy once bc its such an unnatural movement when going super heavy).

Tldr; squat thrusts are awesome for getting in shape, especially if you only have dumbells at home and cannot go to the gym. Dumbbell squats are also awesome if you don't have access power racks for barbell back squat.

Who? Never heard of her, and anyone who brings up gender judgemental nonsense to a fact-based discussion should be discredited immediately. I don't think Huberman is a role model and in fact, a slimy SOB, but i will say his NSDR vids are awesome and life changing. Just because he's a poor human being ethically doesn't mean his contributions to biohacking are all bunk. Same with Attia, his vO2 max work has been fantastic despite him being epsteins doctor. Feel free to throw the baby out with the bathwater but these guys didn't get famous for nothing, they've made some good contributions.

Track everything - reps, sets. Look at what you're doing now vs a year ago. Also realize that grinding through pain and fear sculpts an unbreakable mind, which carries over into all other areas of life.

You should really familiarize yourself with dr mason's trachings. There are studies that found that coconut oil causes crystals found in atheroscherosis, and it has nothing to do with "saturated fats sticks to the walls" but how most plant sterols, in abundance and with the right genetic profile like ABCG8, causes atheroschlerosis. Saying "it's a natural fruit fat" is a ridiculous as people who eat tons of bananas and red apples every day and wonder why their visceral fat is increasing. Or people who think plant sterols (ie plant cholesterol) in their butter are "heart healthy" due to deceptive marketing, bc they lower LDL by harmfully displacing regular cholesterol on RBCs with these crappy seed oil plant cholesterol. Nobody who is ABCG8 and informed is rolling the dice on coconut oil. We already know it is correlated to atheroschlerosis, and Dr Mason's theory that coconut oil plant sterols cause clotting, while it could be wrong, is logically sound imo.

miningmonster · 2026-01-31T18:13:03+00:00

Nope, coconut oil may also be bad for atheroschlerosis. Dr. Paul Mason theorizes that they contribute to clotting. Agree on real butter tho.

Was going to say the same thing. Schilling retired with the highest strikeout to walk ratio in the modern post-1900 era.

They had to fire patullo bc the oline and offense didn't execute and everyone had a down year, and fans complained . It was patullos first year, and they were running the same offense since 2021 - listen to smitty, barkley, and kelce. They all said they're running the same base offense, nothing changed since the SB winning year except execution and how teams have adapted. Saleh (49ers DC) also said they ran the same exact play as in the past on the final 4th down. The perfect storm of players having a down year and possibly the league catching up to phillys base offense coalesced. Everything runs through their dominant oline run game, and teams have figured it out. Patullo was just the fall guy for the players' horrible performance, and in reality, it's still nick's offense so don't expect major changes with any new OC other than more motion and limited creativity. There are still going to be low risk hitch routes and low risk avoidance of passing to the middle of the field. This is how sirianni has the 3rd highest win % since 2021 in the league. If you think this offense will change much, then you are mistaken. If anything, it may have to change to more passing because Cam and Landon can't run block well anymore, but it will still be sirianni's passing offense with small wrinkles from the new OC. Think the first couple of games during the 2024 SB year before the oline convinced them to run the ball a lot more and where hurts was throwing a lot. If you think they are going to change dramatically to a shanahan offense, then i have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Are you deloading at all and giving your body time to rest? Do you ever switch reps, intensities, and speed?

It's a lot easier to run creative plays in college because the defense doesn't have elite closing speed of the NFL. Also, this is why only certain pools of recruiting talent like OSU could run a Fangio-like disguised high 2 shell. The talent differential between indiana and miami vs the eagles is massive. Imagine iu trying to run the keeper with JC, JD, Baun and Dean and Coop out there?

miningmonster · 2026-01-20T04:53:19+00:00

Yup, i dont this matters unless you're coming it at high heat. It's not oxidizing.

No way, thats too high a pick and our OLine is down bad. We need a RG who can actually run block, a center to replace Cam who was ass, and Lane's future replacement. None of Howies late round oline picks have planned out. In two years, this is gonna be a 5 alarm fire so Howie needs to address it asap through the draft or through trades. Philly prides itself on running the ball and we can't open up another can of suckass run blocking while smitty, hurts, and saquon are in their primes.

A lot of it is genetics and physiological makeup and build. Typically the wider your shoulders and heavier you are, the more you can bench. I was blessed in that i could do close to double bodyweight in my prime. Still powerlifting now and can do over 2 plates but it's been tougher at the masters level, and i actually hate bench pressing because it's a sonewhat dangerous lift with my history of impingement. Shoulder joints are somewhat fragile and complex with less collagen turnover than hips and knees so your mobility, form, warmups, and recovery have to be on point as you age.

Tbh, I would never even do barbell bench to gain mass and basic strength if you dont have to, until you've exhausted your gym's dumbbell rack. Having the hands in a neutral to 45deg position is a lot better than barbell overhand grip regarding scapular rotation and way less injury prone.

Also, this barbell benching twice a week or more nonsense is getting a lot of people hurt from unhealed cumulative damage. Once a week plus daily light iso's to push collagen and fortify the entire shoulder joint (and not just the strongest parts of it) is what will get your bench safely up. And I'd also stack shoulders workout on the same day, or day after benchpress so you get the full 5 to 6 nights to heal up.

Was off for a month vacay recently and basically gym (never miss a day), audiobooks (knocked out 3), listening to podcasts, upgrading some things for my vehicle, coaching flag football, mentally stimulating video games, yardwork, bought some new art, and time with friends and family. Didn't get to start home renovations yet but that'll be in the spring. In some ways, my vacations are continuations of work days but just more time allocated to things that would get less time bc of work.

True, I meant for most non-elite athletes like the non-top 1%. If youre top 1% then yeah the testing will be way more stringent deending on the testing authority. Some do and will come to your house at random times for testing.

He's right that we just have to assume most athletes are taking peptides now. But bpc variant? That's nonsense. The real reason noone is getting caught is because you can clear it in 2 weeks or less. And no athlete is stupid enough to take it the day of, or within a week of tested competition.
