Devoted to all those who believe that glutes lie dormant during sprints, squats and jumps, unless athletes first perform a few clams, bear crawls & prone hip extensions

@GregLehman Yeah it's got to be a fair way above body mass. But some kids this age are box squatting +200k and I'm not sure that's necessary.

@EamonnFlanagan And sorry - my 'not sure' was in response to your Q re 'what's the answer', not uncertainty re the wisdom of your reply 👍

@KBurola @Duhigs @EamonnFlanagan @1080motion She's done them and I thought they were an OK option.

@EamonnFlanagan @Duhigs @1080motion Agreed.

@Duhigs @EamonnFlanagan @1080motion K uses legs a lot. Most of her capacity comes from them. Belt squats heavy, can't back squat due to back pain (decent size disc bulge).

@Duhigs @EamonnFlanagan Huge. Stander limited atm by back pain (we don't force it) ~39m, full 53m. Most girls at 51-53 throw go 42-45m standing.

@gilbert_henry My thoughts too. Even working the ground involves a lot (a bit?) of non vertical GRF. In the case of this athlete (prev tweet), lower back injury means limited options.

@DocBalsalobre Awesome. May I use this, with appropriate reference you your tweet, in one of my classes Carlos?

@louroig @BernieSanders Problem is, he thinks the rest of you getting anything is a waste of resources that he'll put to better use. Only Musk and the oligarchs will spend wisely. And you're back to feudalism....

@MikemanCommeth @ChrisMartzWX Sounds right to me.

@1116sen Your sacking of Peter Lalor is a disgrace.

@MarkBennett07 Wow

RT @mhdksafa: When your boss's income has risen 937% since 1978 and yours has increased by only 5.7%, it's time to stop blaming minorities…

@GregLehman @Tom_Babington1 I have an anti-DL bias, no good reason other than mine kept going up despite training only squats most of the year. I also prefer clean pulls, power cleans and RDLs over DL for athletes.

@Roe_JasonT A very sad state of affairs...

Nice review of warm-up which seems to argue against 'activation' as a mechanism of benefit (because passive heating works similarly well)...

@WakeWtfu Quite a lot of ppl have grown up in Australia...

7/n Hanging leg raises (ball to elbows) can be done with more than just legs. 20kg slam balls suggest there's plenty of room to overload & even do <10 reps per set. Or you can plank & Pallof press. Or just squat because that... ...does almost nothing for anterior trunk muscles.
