I didn't really know I could say no. Like the idea was in the back of my head, I just didn't say no

They weren't quite ready to do much field stuff yet, so just sat around until practice was over. A good use of time? What are some things we could improve on? #attwitter #natm2025

Even though they had an EAP, coach was first aid certified, they wanted me physically at practice standing around, waiting. My time would have been better seved doing the long-term rehab (couple minutes drive from athletic training facility to the practice facility).

Your athletic trainer would be right. Anterior pelvic tilt isn't bad, or dangerous, or injurious

That's a gorgeous shot

This doesn't mean any particular style is worse, as running-related injuries are workload errors rather than movement dysfunction. #athletictraining #athletictrainer #sportsmedicine #physicaltherapy #rehabilitation #running #biomechanics

You'll get stronger (measured by the goal task [i.e., barbell squat]) on the goal task. However when strength is looked at through objective measures there's no difference.

That means you can do whatever you want that fits your goals. It all works.

There is a difference in strength when looking at the specific measure. SAID principle.

What's that mean? If you want to get stronger at barbell squatting, then do that. If you want to get stronger on smith machine squats, then do that.

Putting stress through the spine is not bad, dangerous, and you will not pay for it later.

Caveat: small sample size.

However there were no differences between groups, and no changes in Pfirrmann grade.

What does that mean? This means that both in an acute bout, or chronically, it does not appear that weightlifting negatively impacts the IVDs, nor does it lead to disc degeneration.
