A lot of You People need to understand how much bad information about lifting comes from Bodybuilding. Not every bodybuilder, but a lot. Here is one great example. Clip 1: Bodybuilding legend Robby Robinson explains how to avoid injury in the deadlift, you need to bend your arms. Yes, you heard that correctly. The literal exact opposite of the truth, the exact mechanism which greatly increases the likelihood of tearing a biceps tendon in the deadlift (which ~never happens for people who do a controlled pull with straight arms) is what Robinson claims you MUST do to avoid injury. This isn't just a small disagreement. This is comically absurd levels of delusion. If it came from some random gym bro that would be one thing, but the important lesson here is that you can ascend to the highest levels of bodybuilding success and fame without knowing the most basic things about training that us mere mortals who have normal genetics and aren't blasting gear HAVE TO LEARN or else we won't succeed. Bent arms facilitating biceps tendon tears is easily understandable via mechanisms: The deadlift is a heavy lift that, if done at a weight heavy enough to spur adaptive stimulus, must be with much more weight than you can curl, then it will tend to forcibly straighten out the arms under load as you lift, which increases the chances of a rupture. But as a real lift demonstration of this phenomenon, I offer you Clip 2 which shows this happening in action: A lifter tearing a biceps tendon on a deadlift which you can literally see happening because of the bent-arm pull. I've never seen this happen in less than the 550-600 range EXCEPT in cases of bent arm pulls exactly like this one. If Robinson hadn't said what he said but I claimed bodybuilders say this, I would be accused of making up things to hate on bodybuilding. But this is just one example of a pattern I've observed over 25 years doing this. I have taught the deadlift to IFBB pros who have stood on the Olympic stage, who told me after the session that they had no idea how to do them until working with me, they just winged it and sort of copied what they saw other people do. If you want to learn how to achieve a bodybuilding look, most bodybuilders know a lot. If you want to understand proper technique for complex lifts and loaded human movement patterns, the bodybuilders who know and understand that are the exception, not the rule.

🐺🇹🇷 American ranchers were losing millions to predators they weren’t legally allowed to kill. Then, they found the Anatolian Shepherd. 🛡️🐐 The rise of the Anatolian Shepherd to become the most sought-after flock dog in the US is a wild story. It took 6,000 years of Turkish genetics, a canceled WWII project, and a massive shift in environmental law to create the ultimate American frontier guardian. Why They’re Built Differently Unlike standard herding dogs that wait for commands, Anatolians are wired to think and act entirely on their own. * Mind Games First: They don't look for a fight. They use their massive size and a booming bark to warn predators away first. * Serious Muscle: If a coyote or wolf ignores the warning, the Anatolian relies on a staggering 743 psi bite force to finish the job. * Gentle Giants: Despite their power, they are incredibly patient, treating everything from newborn lambs to family kids as their own pack. The Secret History & The 1973 Boom In the late 1930s, the USDA actually ran a top-secret "Sheep Dog Project" using a breeding pair gifted by Turkey. WWII funding cuts killed the project, but by the 1970s, US military servicemen stationed in Turkey started bringing them home because they were just too good to ignore. The real turning point came with the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Suddenly, wolves and coyotes were protected, and ranchers couldn't shoot them anymore. Desperate for a non-lethal shield, they turned to the Anatolian. By patrolling fences and purely intimidating apex predators, these dogs saved American ranches thousands of dollars while keeping local wildlife safe. From ancient Turkish hills to the modern American West, they truly are the gold standard of livestock defense. 🐕🌾 #AnatolianShepherd #WorkingDogs #LivestockGuardian #AgTwitter #FarmLife #History Footage credit Fırat Alkan

Honestly this does touch on our philosophy. We could very easily chase profits and charge $50 because it's entirely made in USA, the quality of the cotton and weave, the printing method, the inks we use etc. Obviously yall see others doing it for even lower quality products. Our pricing is not reflective of the product but we do it to keep it affordable and accessible and to help grow the mission of reshoring industry. A lot of people are trying to be made in USA businesses but also charge out the absolute ass trying to maintain margins and an income they'd grown accustomed to. It's an unrealistic expectation in our current economy and you're shooting the movement in the foot pricing yourself out of volume. Made in USA needs volume and cashflow. Goods need to be moving and exchanging hands, that's what drives the economy. If you're out there charging a premium people will still continue to go buy the foreign slop because it's cheaper and they don't share the values of what supporting made in USA really is. Shirts specifically if you're still using foreign shirts and cotton, they use the absolute cheapest shit they can find. (Just like wool, there's varying degrees of quality genetics that determines softness and performance). Probably the most frequent comment we get is about softness and how crazy comfortable our stuff is. That's for a reason and not by magic or accident. Our designs don't have that gross plastic stiff feel to them that flakes off and degrades quickly. That's for a reason because of how we choose to do things the hard way. We understand we care more about these things than most and for the general public they willingly buy lower quality stuff more to just support who is selling it. But I think awareness is also part of the issue because I was also one of those "it's just a shirt, who cares" people until I wore an AL shirt. They are hands down the biggest bang for the buck in this space and we have shirts lasting people years and years now for the same price you pay to fund china whether directly or indirectly. The best (and how capitalism is supposed to work) way to grow the movement is to be an educated consumer. Check tags, country of origin labels, ink and printing method. If someone is being shady or dodgy over the answers? There's your answer. And this goes for all products. We keep an active list of all kinds of made in USA products for all sorts of things that we have personally bought and used to check for quality both the product but also the business. anyway. TLDR we give up massive profits because we believe in what we're doing even tho it slows growth.
