Friday Thoughts 58
Greetings, welcome to this week’s edition of Friday Thoughts.
RIP Mark:
Long time GAIN member and well-known Portsmouth resident passed away earlier this week. Mark always worked hard, was a real trooper and a pleasure to know.
Thanksgiving:
The gym will be closed on Thursday and Friday next week for Thanksgiving. Enjoy some time away from the gym!
Stats:
On one hand, I love everything about this post. Go strength train, it provides incredible benefits for you. At the same time though, this post is the epitome of the issue with online fitness and using our beloved Instagram as an educational source - where did those numbers come from? What were the methods of the study or studies? I think we have a problem with using statistics without really know what the numbers backing up our statements are meaning. Anyway, love to see the benefits of lifting, and to be clear, I agree that it helps do those things. I’m just skeptical of anything showing off numbers like they’re stone cold facts, when we don’t really know anything about where they came from.
Hybrid:
I have a vendetta against hybrid athletes, even though I guess I am one. Truly I just have an issue with the phrase, you mean someone who can run and lift? It isn’t that revolutionary. Regardless, this was an impressive challenge.
James Clear with some things to ponder…
Going to have a busy weekend:
Until next time!
