Pre-print is up! Cold water immersion inhibits muscle development when applied immediately after resistance training on a regular basis. Kudos to my master's degree student Alec Pinero for spearheading 💪 https://t.co/VwGBAKcaND

One very cool thing about eliminating the verified blue check mark is that it’ll make it much harder to tell the real stuff from the fake. Luckily, in America in 2023, that’s not a problem for us …

Idea - Promoter should pay health insurance costs of fighters for as long as they retain the rights to financially exploit those fights. If they want image and footage rights 'in perpetuity' then ongoing insurance premiums should be covered as well.
Dana White to @MMAjunkieJohn on @MMAFightingSM's article about Spencer Fisher: "He's not the first and he's definitely not going to be the last. This is a contact sport and anybody who's ever done this younger, myself included, is dealing with brain issues. It's part of the gig"

Appreciate it must be immensely difficult to lead during a pandemic, but the new rules strike me as an example of the politician's syllogism: "Something must be done / this is something / thus we must do this"...
Talking to 'Off the Ball' on @NewstalkFM about the new #COVID19 restrictions for sporting events. We're losing control of infections, but I'm not convinced these rules are the way to go. @ZeroCOVIDIsland

6. We have to take more restrictive measures,than any of our EU colleagues because we are starting from such a poor base,with no capacity in our health service. Don't blame NPHET, blame the decades of underfunding of our health service. Get behind NPHET. They know what they're at
