Hip airplanes might be the single best exercise for runners. They've been in my routine for over a year now. I've been using them as a mobility drill. Bodyweight, slow, pushing the end range before a run. When my hip starts acting up, I hit a few reps of this goat mobility drill and usually find immediate relief after a few sets. One movement. Multiple benefits: → Foot splay → Lower leg rotation → Hip stability → Hip strength in multiple planes of motion Make this a staple in your exercise routine. Doesn't matter if you do it before or after your run or during your leg day routine.

Alex Cora spoke highly at the Winter Meetings about the work Vaughn Grissom has been putting in this offseason. Definitely looks to be bigger than what we saw at the end of 2024. Not to mention, he already looked like a much different guy in September. 🎥: Vaughn Grissom

Most runners under-load their calves. Heavy calf raises fix that. Runners usually do bodyweight single-leg raises and call it done. But your Achilles tendon takes massive load every stride. Bodyweight isn't enough stimulus to make it stronger. Heavy load is what drives the adaptation. I do these on leg day. 50kg in the hands, standing on a plate so my heels can drop below the toes. Focus points: → Full range of motion. Heels drop below the plate at the bottom, full extension at the top → Slow on the way down. (~2 seconds.) → Go bilateral when loading heavy. Single-leg has its place, but two legs lets you put real weight through the tendon → Don't rush the rep. This isn't a calf burner, it's a strength lift 3 x 8-10 reps. Train your calves in the gym so they can handle what running demands.

$There is not a muscle on the body that needs high reps to see its best growth. This is basic physiology. Yes, muscles vary in their ratio of slow to fast twitch fibres. It doesn't matter, for two reasons: 1. Slow twitch fibres reach their ceiling early. They are not the limiting factor. 2. As you approach failure, every fibre is recruited regardless. The body does not leave capacity sitting idle when it thinks it's about to fail. Here is what actually drives hypertrophy: involuntary slow contractions. The point in a set where the concentric is grinding, the bar speed is dropping, and the muscle is being forced to recruit everything it has just to complete the rep. That is mechanical tension. That is the growth signal. It only exists in the final five or so reps before failure. Everything before that is your body coasting on the fibres it was already using. Some muscles tolerate high reps better than others. Calves are the classic example. But tolerating junk reps is not the same as benefiting from them. It just means the damage is less visible. The reps are still junk. If you are living in the 8-plus rep range, most of your set is happening nowhere near that zone of involuntary contraction. You are accumulating fatigue, impairing recovery, reducing training frequency, and spending more time under the bar: in exchange for a growth stimulus you could have captured in a fraction of the reps. More reps past the point of failure proximity is not more stimulus. It is just more cost.$

This is straight up one of the worst plays I’ve ever seen in my life Either Stanton is just jogging which is horrible or it’s known that he’s not able to run at 100% speed and this was the worst send by the 3B coach in MLB history

Starting your leg workout with leg curls is a great idea. Research suggests it may help better activate the hamstrings. If you're choosing between seated and lying leg curls, it seems the seated version has a slight edge for muscle growth because it trains the hamstrings at a longer muscle length. That said, both variations work well—pick the one you enjoy most or simply alternate between them. And if you're staring at “motivational pictures” like the ones in front of my machine... your competitive spirit is guaranteed to kick in 😅💪

Cyclone Narelle has entered the Gulf of Carpentaria after the Queensland leg of her near-continent-wide, coastal tour of Australia. Once she makes her second landfall in the Northern Territory, Narelle will embark on a week-long circumnavigation of Western Australia, which may end with a direct impact to the city of Perth at the end of the month. What a crazy cyclone track this is going to end up being.

8-12 reps per set is for hypertrophy That’s the pump fake everyone feel for. Shame on the “industry” The primary driver of hypertrophy is mechanical tension. They say the reps near failure matter most, but they never say why. Reps near failure matter most because they recruit your bigger stronger type II muscle fibers which is needed for hypertrophy In a set of 8-12, towards the end, your smaller weaker type I fibers start to fatigue forcing your body to recruit those type II fibers What they don’t tell you is you can optimize both mechanical tension and motor recruitment simply by lifting heavier weights for less reps per set. Adding weight you start the set near failure and recruit those type II fibers from the first rep. You avoid the junk volume 3x10 is not 3x10. It’s 30 reps. 10x3 is also 30 reps. Except you’re using MUCH more weight and most if not all reps are near failure. Oh and by the way, the nature of lifting heavier weights you also get much stronger than only doing 3x10. You say the studies show that you high and low rep ranges produce “similar” hypertrophy??? No, those studies are very misleading

"I only got 3 reps. I should have gone lighter." This is the most common mistake in the gym. Heavy set, three productive reps, and the lifter walks away thinking they failed. What actually happened: - The first three reps were near maximal motor unit recruitment - High threshold fibres were doing the work - The set ended where the stimulus ended - No fatigue reps were tacked on the back - No junk volume to recover from before next session What didn't happen: - You did not ego lift - You did not waste a set - You did not need to drop the weight by 10kg and grind out twelve The 4-6 rep set has a maximum of five productive reps before fatigue starts compromising the quality. Getting three is 60% of the available stimulus in that range, delivered clean. The lifter next to you doing 12 reps to mild discomfort thinks they had a great set. They got two stimulating reps at best, buried under ten reps of submaximal warm-up under load. You got three. They got two. Add a little weight next session. Try for four. Hit three again, you're still ahead of where the high-rep crowd will ever be.

I’ve seen some impressive catches in my life, but nothing prepared me for this. I hummed a crab leg at a lady of the night like I was trying out for the damn Dodgers. She snagged that sucker ONE-HANDED without spilling a drop of dignity, looked at me like “that all you got?” and immediately started crunching on it. No celebration. No replay. Just business. Vegas has first-round talent walking the streets and nobody’s scouting. 😂😎

Leg curls go first in the session. Not last, not as a finisher, not squeezed in if there is time. The knee is held together by an argument between two muscles. The quads pull the shin forwards, the hamstrings pull it back, and when those two are anywhere near matched the joint tracks properly and the load goes where it should. Now look at how the average leg day is arranged. Squats, presses and extensions while you are fresh, hammering the quads. Then curls at the end, two half-hearted sets, done in a state where you could not produce real force if you tried. Run that for a few years and it stops being an argument. One side has been training. The other has been turning up late. Put the curls at the front and you fix both halves at once. The hamstrings arrive at your heavy squats already switched on, which is the cheapest knee insurance in the building. And they finally get trained fresh, so they actually progress instead of living off the scraps. Four to six reps, heavy, two sets, then go and squat. If your knees already complain, start here. If they don't, this is how they stay that way.

Leeds had lost two at home; this was never going to be easy, but that was exactly the response #Arsenal needed. Every single player stepped up in horrid conditions and we played with the directness that’s been lacking. This team showed it’s not going anywhere. Superb performance.

People don’t grasp the magnitude of what Lee Know did at the MAMA Awards 2025. He showed why he is considered, not only the best dancer and performer of his generation, but also in the top 5 of all K-pop idols. He performed for more than 10 minutes with such a severe leg injury that makes it impossible for him to walk properly, needing a wheelchair to get around. Even with this, he delivered an outstanding performance, one at the same level of quality as every one of his presentations. It's not only an inspiration, but a pride and joy to stan someone like him. STAYS and Jewels can say with the outmost confidence that they stan an idol that comes once in a lifetime.

Hey NBA.com/Stats - this play is in need of review. At 8:06 of the 4th Quarter Nikola Jokic misses a shot. But he also has a rebound/tip attempt that has not been scored. I’ve slowed it down here. Please review for an extra Jokic board.
