When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Huge congrats to Mike on graduating today from Shenandoah University’s DPT program. And good luck on your last clinical at the University of Arizona to finish your Masters in Athletic Training! We officially The Movement “Docs!” (at Shenandoah University)

Trying to be a stronger man. Thanks to @oluwatofunmi_exito for helping me with my log clean. Drastic difference in how it feels. Here’s 300lbs for a hard fought 60lb PR. Could only manage 240 with my previous technique. Trying to overcome the mental barrier of resting a large amount of weight on my pacemaker. Feel infinitely better about transitioning to super heavyweight open division. #strongman #strongmantraining (at NEVERsate Athletics)

If you ever played with a calculator, you know how epic this is. 😊 We’re seriously humbled that we’ve been able to create something that is much larger than ourselves. In our first season of podcasting we’ve met some dope AF people, and learned a lot of cool stuff. We never thought that our hobby could be something this awesome. 😎 While we have to take a small break because life, work, graduation, boards, etc. Season 2 is going to be even better.

*NEW PODCAST ALERT* In this episode, Mike and Jake sit down with Michael Amato PT, DPT, CSCS ( @michaelvamato ) to talk all about pain science, why Kratos is the perfect stoic, and what the Joker and a d20 have to do with pain. Sit back, and enjoy while we nerd out about pretty much everything. #painscience #stoicism #kratos

Trying to be a strongman. Overcoming mediocrity one lift at a time. 465 lb lifetime bench PR without even benching on a regular basis. Shout out to @davidljohns for the Lilliebridge-esque dad spots, @neversate for the conjugate programming. #strongman #sufferbeautifully #dieempty #dirtyandy (at Winchester, Virginia)

In fall of 2012, at 20 years old I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. On Nov 20, 2012 I had a pacemaker/ICD implanted in my chest and hardwired into my heart. The following months were filled with crippling fear, anxiety and depression. For years, I was afraid. I thought that anything and everything had the potential to damage my pacer. I thought that if I lifted weights, especially overhead, I would hurt myself. I soon found powerlifting and began training for a meet as part of my rehab. Lifting challenged many of my fears. I learned that my body was resilient, and that I could push myself beyond what myself and my doctors thought possible. Within a year and a half of training I went from a 200lb to a 460lb bench. But I was still afraid. I never put anything overhead because I thought I would hurt myself. Enter strongman, the sport where you take the most ridiculous, awkward and heavy things and press them overhead. Training has once again pushed me outside of my comfort zone, to conquer my fears and crush my doubts. Tonight I overhead pressed 315lbs on an axle, and threw around a 240lb keg fairly convincingly. I never thought that I would ever put this kind of weight overhead. I realize now, the only thing holding me back was myself. Shout out to @davidljohns for pushing me to #sufferbeautifully and #dieempty #dirtyandy (at Winchester, Virginia)

Check out the blog our friend @stephallen.dpt mentioned on our podcast. #Repost @cbutlersportspt with @get_repost ・・・ ❗️ACL Tears + Females❗️ ⬇️The following is a blog excerpt written by 👉 @stephallen.dpt 👈 ... I want to look more closely at the impact that hormones have on the ligament complex and how this differs in males vs. females. We have done a great job with researching risk factors, and developing solid injury prevention/risk reduction programs for athletes. However, the sex disparity in ACL injury is still significant. . So let’s dive in a bit with the sparknotes of the research that has been done regarding hormonal influences on ligament laxity… . WHAT THEY DID: They took ACL’s, exposed them to the various hormones present during different phases of the menstrual cycle and measured “laxity” via tensile strength (resistance to pull). . WHAT THEY FOUND: Greatest laxity resulted when the ACL was exposed to Estradiol, which is at its peak in ovulatory phase (10-14 day mark). They also noted increased laxity when it was exposed to relaxin (another hormone floating around during the cycle). AND… they found these exposures to have profound effects on tissue remodeling. [NOTE: due to variability between individuals, it is difficult to assign highest risk to one phase]. . Alright, that’s cool. But, how does this work? How can these hormones actually make the ligament more lax? . Here is the mind blow...There are hormone RECEPTORS ON THE ACL!! . When the hormones bind to the ligament, this can affect gene expression and collagen metabolism in a way that can influence the characteristics of the ACL and other soft tissues around it. (*This is key- it is not just the ACL that is affected- it is ALL the soft tissues). . Read the full blog at ↙️ chrisbutlersportspt.com ❤️☝️🔗👉 @cbutlersportspt

675 pounds from wagon wheels. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 4 hours in the car, and forgetting my belt was totally worth the pilgrimage to @neversate to hit this 25 pound PR. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Thanks to @ntoxicated26 for getting me to start scooping and not think like a powerlifter, @oluwatofunmi_exito for letting me use your belt and to @davidljohns for being a hell of a training partner and constantly pushing me to get better. #neversateathletics #sufferbeautifully #dieempty #strongmantraining (at NEVERsate Athletics)

When your training partner @davidljohns gets interviewed by @Neversate and @ntoxicated26 because he’s a beast. Totally worth 4 hours in the car to hit PRs and train with great people. @oluwatofunmi_exito #strongman #sufferbeautifully #dieempty #neversateathletics (at NEVERsate Athletics)
