Do more hill sprints. Hamstring strains are the #1... injury in contact sports and its one of the biggest reasons athletes never develop one of the most valuable qualities in sport - Speed. Hill sprinting is a smart way to reintroduce high-speed running if you’re cautious about hamstring injuries. The incline naturally shortens stride length and reduces peak hamstring strain compared to flat sprinting. Yes — nothing replaces flat max-velocity sprinting. But you have to be conditioned for it. Hill sprints help bridge that gap, building speed exposure while managing risk. Credit to @horton_barbell (unbelievable facility) and STATSports for the clipsshow more

Normalise RDL as a main movement. The Romanian Deadlift... (RDL) or Heavy Barbell Hip Hinge is a powerhouse exercise that has gained a lot of popularity among strength and conditioning coaches, powerlifters, and bodybuilders alike. This movement is often called an “athlete maker" in my mind due to its ability to build strength, muscle mass, and athleticism in both men and women. One of the primary reasons why the RDL is so effective for athletes is because it is triphasic, for the uninitiated meaning it involves three distinct phases of muscle action: eccentric, isometric, and concentric. During the eccentric phase, the lifter is lowering the weight, which creates tension and stress on the muscles, leading to greater muscle damage and adaptation. The isometric phase occurs when the lifter pauses at the bottom of the lift, holding the weight in a static position, which increases the time under tension and helps to build strength and stability. Finally, during the concentric phase, the lifter raises the weight, activating the muscles in a way that promotes greater hypertrophy. Compared to a traditional deadlift off the floor, the RDL places a greater emphasis on the posterior chain, specifically the proximal hamstring, glutes, and erector spinae muscles. The lift also engages the distal hamstring muscles in a nearly fully extended position, promoting greater muscle activation and strengthening. The RDL is an excellent way to develop strength and hypertrophy in these muscle groups, leading to improved overall athletic performance, including greater power, speed, and explosiveness. Given the numerous benefits of the RDL, it should be a main movement in any training program that aims to improve strength, muscle mass, and overall athletic performance. Incorporating heavy barbell hip hinge movements, such as the RDL, into your training regimen can help to promote better posture, improved mobility, and greater overall strength and athleticism. So, whether you are a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or athlete, consider adding the RDL to your training program to take your strength and athleticism to the next level.show more

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦It will soon be too late for an organized... retreat from Pokrovsk, — ZDF ▪️The Russian encirclement ring around Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad is rapidly closing. Some of the most prepared Ukrainian brigades, such as the 25th and 37th, are still deep inside the ring. ▪️In fact, they have most likely already begun retreating, with or without orders. ▪️The positions of the 155th and 92nd Ukrainian brigades are also under threat. ▪️A hasty, unorganized last-minute retreat always leads to heavy human losses and almost complete loss of combat equipment. ➖"It is hard to understand why the top military leadership of Ukraine keeps making the same mistake: giving the order to retreat from positions unsuitable for defense when it is already too late," the journalists write. ▪️Ukraine was unable to turn the situation around. The presence of Budanov near the front line "was most likely a media stunt rather than real military leadership," the journalists believe. - RVvoenkorshow more

SEO for AI, why you should not block AI... answer engines, and the future of the web. We published an article *today* with updated guidance on databases on vercel. Brand new knowledge. Grok already has it (impressive!), sources it correctly, and links to our authoritative source, our website. This is good for users and good for the web. For users, this is the ideal experience. I use Grok myself like this every day. I don't want 10 blue links and a bunch of browser tabs. I want the AI to do the research for me. For companies, this is the future of getting information out about your products. It's going to be the norm and it'll be bigger than social media. Instead of blocking AI with legacy firewalls, I'd focus on: ▪️ writing content that matches the kinds of questions people are asking about ▪️ massively speeding up your content velocity. So many nuggets of wisdom get lost in private channels and groups. Get information out more quickly! ▪️ shipping agent integrations (like MCPs) and tools/infrastructure that plays well with agents (even CLIs are a good example) ▪️ offering 1P agentic & AI experiences to your end users.
