Exercise Technique Tutorials for Multi Joint Lifts from Reliable Sources

There is a surprising amount of information on how to properly perform many weight lifting exercises, but many people are not even aware of that. Many people who would benefit from lifting weights don't start because they feel like they don't know what they're doing, and that feeling is intimidating. In addition to this, many people who currently work out perform exercises with improper form, which usually results in not getting the full benefit of the exercise, or can even result in getting injured. What many people don't know is that despite the amount of bad information on social media that gives people poor advice in an attempt to get clicks and ad revenue, there is a huge amount of good information that can give you a solid foundation to help you start training or improve your training. When you're looking at fitness claims on social media, you need to know how to decide what information seems reliable and what information is likely used to exploit people for financial gain. Usually, the good information will come from someone who has an education in the field such as a degree in Kinesiology or Exercise Physiology and an understanding of prior research that has been done and given support to their claims, or it will come from someone who is highly accomplished in the sport and has either performed as an athlete or coached at a high level. To help you get started or improve your abilities, I've compiled a list of videos from high-quality sources on the primary movements that are generally most beneficial to your health and performance.

Advocating for Strength Sports to be recognized as Olympic Sports

 The topic I'd like to go over this week is why I believe that Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, and potentially sports such as Strongman (which includes more than just men, but based on the name not everyone might know that) and Crossfit should be recognized as Olympic Sports. Recently added sports include things like 3 on 3 half court basketball, which is similar to what we consider "recreational park basketball" and doesn't even have an official league, break dancing (which is more of an art than a sport, although it does require significant physical abilities), flag football (again a sport that does not even have an official league), and squash. I do not mean to degrade any of those activities, but the Olympics were supposed to be a major celebration of sport every 4 years, with sport implying physical activity. Currently, the only strength-related sport in the Olympics is Olympic Weightlifting, which is significantly different than other strength sports because athlete...

How social networking led to a change in the way strength training was programmed

Image
In this blog post, I will be showing you how social networking between researchers, coaches, and athletes helped modern weight training programming evolve. It was originally based on relatively inflexible parameters (set amounts of weight and repetitions in a strict order, assuming that everyone recovers and adapts the same). As time went on, researchers, coaches, and athletes became aware of these issues and techniques to adapt training structure to account for these issues.  In the past, strength training was generally programmed based on a percentage of an athlete's 1-repetition maximum (the maximum weight they could use for a specific exercise). It was structured in a way that would generally start off easier (using lighter loads such as 60 to 70 percent of their 1RM) with higher amounts of repetitions (to instill technical proficiency and produce a higher training stimulus) and gradually progress toward heavier weights, such as in the example below: Eventually, John Kiely deci...

Why RFK Jr's "Make America Healthy Again" movement will probably not actually make America healthy again.

The "Make America Healthy Again Movement", largely started by failed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, has now become one of the items on the Trump administration's agenda. Unfortunately, the Make America Healthy Again movement largely fails to identify the actual causes of America's health problems and demonizes things like vaccines and seed oils which haven't been shown to be linked to the health outcomes RFK Jr. claims they have been. RFK has said he is "not anti-vaccine", but has made multiple statements encouraging vaccine skepticism and has clashed with the top US vaccine official, Peter Marks, to the extent that Mark's resigned and stated "“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies." The White House's "Make America Healthy Again" commission repeatedly references increased rates of autism and ...
