Some people just want to watch the world burn…or lift in crocs 😆

Any experienced athlete will do a full warm up prior to touching a weight - it’s just proper maintenance of your body. ☺️ And shoes - an experienced athlete will have shoes that are fit for purpose. Just like you wouldn’t wear flip flops to a construction site, you wouldn’t wear running shoes to lift

#hottake

You can often tell someone’s level of experience in the gym by just these 2 things:

1) The quality of their warmup
2) Their shoes

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Is America great yet? 🤔 🙄

They call me Mr. Boombastic.

This is 50.

Getting older does not mean getting worse.

You are not done yet.

Yes!! They are always getting bunched up, backwards, falling out in the wash. 😒😒

Please, for the love of god, just sew the pads into sports bras.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Yes!!

Favorite pet peeve? The “printer alignment page” 😒😒😒

Image from the preprint "Overnutrition is a risk factor for iron deficiency in children and young people: a systematic review and meta-analysis of micronutrient deficiencies and the double burden of malnutrition". It shows the forest plot of reported associations between overnutrition and odds of iron deficiency. REML: Random effects restricted maximum likelihood; CI: confidence interval. The odds are higher for obese and overweight

While many know that restrictive diets can cause nutrient deficiencies, not everyone is aware that overeating can too.

This study showed that overweight & obese children and young adults have a higher risk of iron deficiency (but not zinc or vitamin A deficiency).

It’s 1/4 of a clean 😅😅

I hear ya! It took me a little while to warm up to using straps but now I absolutely love them as I’m no longer grip limited 😄

Happy birthday to you! 🥳And what better way to celebrate than with a nice pair of lifting straps? Mine are Rogue leather straps and I love them. ☺️

Thank you 🙏🙏

Thank you! Glad it was useful and good luck with your workout on Thursday 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Your legs will always be stronger than your grip.

Unless you’re specifically training grip, use lifting straps to get the most out of barbell pull exercises.

(Pro-tip: Do as many of your warm up sets as you can without straps so you still get some grip training in!)

Feels surreal watching ads for the new Captain America movie these days… 🙃
