On this episode I sat down with Coach Travis Mash to discuss his fatigue monitoring process that he utilizes with his weightlifting team at Lenoir Rhyne University. Coach Mash has founded an exceptional weightlifting team at Lenoir Rhyne University and I routinely see insane numbers posted from his team. Coach Travis begins by sharing his realization that accounting for stresses within his system and from the outside were a major determinant of overall readiness to perform at peak levels. Coach Mash shared the unique challenges that adolescents and young adults deal with in regards to stress exposure and blue light exposure and how those factors may be affecting performance more than we realize. Coach Mash discusses how he utilizes the Velocity of the first days movement, which he typically likes to use a hang clean pull for various reasons. Velocity measures overall speed, Stress is defined by fatigue, which is a loss of ones ability to produce force. When employing this rationale it is easy to see how by having a baseline number for velocity measurements allow for us to keep a pulse on the moving target that is athlete readiness. Coach Mash also utilizes RSI measurement to validate athlete readiness, he shares how he gets a meaningful and useful RSI score. The third piece of the puzzle is a subjective questionnaire that athletes complete upon entering into training for the day. One of the metrics that stood out for me was how Coach Mash calculated the impact of a given workout he took the RPE of the athlete and multiplied it times the duration of the workout to give an impact score. In this first piece of the conversation it was great to see how Coach mash is able to bring together multiple measures to give a detailed view of an athletes overall readiness's and abilities for a given session. This is a major tool for overall athletic development and safe progression of training, athletes abilities ebb and flow based upon an almost immeasurable amount of daily stressors. The more Coaches take into account where an athlete is in the present, the more suitable to days training session will be. As we discuss Velocity measures and Coach Mash's protocols based upon RSI or velocity measures being lower than normal we are able to see how training can easily be adjusted to salvage a days session and give athletes the appropriate dose. At 5% drop in RSI measurement or Velocity measurement both volume and intensity planned for the day are adjusted between 10-20%. If they measure 10% or greater they do low eccentric bodybuilding and go home for the day at that point the risk exceeds anything you will get out of the training session. The subjective questionnaire discussed earlier tells Coach Mash the why for the anomaly or drop in RSI or Velocity of first movement. We discuss the different ranged of velocity loss that would be employed for the development of strength, power, and hypertrophy. Coach mash shares that he seeks high quality hypertrophy due to weightlifting being a weight class competition. This definitely made me think about he individualized needs in team sport settings where lineman and those in the box may need on zone and skills and more speed based positions may need to stay away from areas that don't recruit the higher twitch fibers. We end the conversation talking about where to begin when implementing the clean with youth populations, how to find the proper set up based upon anthropometrics, and how to vary the clean for the needs of given athletic populations.

Leslie talks about Theodosia, who ran off with cousin and Leslie’s Revolutionary War patriot, William Dula (Dooley) of Irish descent, leaving her first husband, Revolutionary War patriot John Patrick McMullan, and their children without divorcing; the McMullan family being told that Theodosia died; learning her long-time white friend and colleague descended from McMullan and they are both Theodosia’s 4th great granddaughters, then joining the same DAR chapter; William’s grandson James “Alfred” Dula having eight black children with great-great-grandmother Harriet Harshaw who was enslaved by him and kidnapped by his family; and a white Daughters of the American Revolution Dula descendant attending black Dula family reunions and suggesting Leslie join the DAR. Leslie discusses growing up in Lenoir, North Carolina; framing her mother's letter denying her a teaching job since she was Negro and hanging it beside her own doctorate degree; earning a bachelor's in Criminal Justice from UNC; completing a master's and doctorate in education over 12 years while working full time and raising a family; journey from working as a paralegal to becoming an instructor at Appalachian State and Lenoir-Rhyne University; teaching educators how to be more inclusive and leadership philosophy; impact of going from segregated to integrated schools as a child; bringing more diversity into positions of leadership; working as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) consultant; giving a TEDx talk on gRaCE (Growing Racial and Cultural Empathy); serving as a commissioner of the NC African American Heritage Commission; singing in an award winning gospel recording group; Alfred having six white children with his first wife who died, leaving all of his 2,000 acres- “Dulatown”- to his black children with Harriet, and leaving homes to his white sons; her father becoming the historian for both black and white Dulas after white cousin James Dula died; the “Dulatown” documentary; the annual Theodosia descendants' day at her gravesite with white and black descendants embracing each other but other relatives not wanting to hear it; reconciling slave owning ancestry and Harriet's French father Jacob Harshaw's reputation for being cruel to slaves; father encouraging her to write a family book; Harriet's child with a black man outside of her connection with Alfred, who ran the man off with a shotgun, and the child dying in infancy; Harriet's two children from prior slave master coming with her to Alfred’s, leaving a third behind as "property"; Alfred's family kidnapping Harriet because she was living in the house with him; William being the cousin of the infamous "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley", executed for the murder of Laura Foster; having measured pride knowing her ancestor fought for American freedom since slavery was a component of the Revolutionary War; being against totally joining the DAR until a chapter reached out and encouraged her to join; joining to make a path for cousins to join DAR; serving as chapter vice regent; the DAR still being open and welcoming despite the recent climate in community; being “proud to open a door for other women like me to have access to the DAR... as a point of progress for a group of women who have been marginalized in the past”.

Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at the hands of an angry mob in June of 1844. Shortly before his death he is reported to have made this bold declaration: “I should be like a fish out of water, if I were out of persecutions…the Lord has constituted me so curiously that I glory in persecution.” Dr. Adam J. Powell of Durham University has written a book on opposition faced by Joseph Smith and early Latter-day Saints. He argues that, like early Christians of the second century, the opposition faced by nineteenth-century Mormons played a major role in shaping their theology. The idea that humans can become gods appeared in a setting of extreme opposition both for early Mormons like Joseph Smith, and early Christian leaders like Iranaeus. In this episode, Powell joins us to talk about his book, Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-Making Heresy. About the Guest Adam J. Powell is a Junior Research Fellow in the Department of Theology & Religion at Durham University (UK). Prior to Durham, Dr. Powell was Assistant Professor and Director of the MA in Religious Studies at Lenoir-Rhyne University in North Carolina. He has published on topics ranging from patristic theology to the history of sociology and from Mormonism to identity theory. He is the author of Irenaeus, Joseph Smith, and God-Making Heresy. He recently delivered the MI Guest Lecture, “Crisis Converted: Opposition, Salvation, and Elasticity in Early Mormonism.”The post Heresy, opposition, and becoming gods, with Adam J. Powell [MIPodcast #64] appeared first on Neal A. Maxwell Institute | BYU.

This free online lecture is part of the Mythgard Academy Guest Lecture Series. [caption id="attachment_1225" align="alignleft" width="180"] Dr. Amy H. Sturgis[/caption] What images come to mind when you think of Star Wars? Luke Skywalker watching the twin suns set on Tatooine? Princess Leia with a blaster in her hand and buns on her head? The glow of a lightsaber in the darkness? These visuals convey volumes, and they spring in part from a common origin. One of the keys to the worldwide success of Star Wars is that the saga draws from a variety of global sources, both classical and contemporary. Join Dr. Amy H. Sturgis as she discusses one particular tradition that has left its indelible imprint on the Star Wars franchise. How did pulp science fiction evolve? What is the relationship between this genre and the Western? And how can tracing the pulp ancestry of Star Wars give us new insights on key moments and messages across the Star Wars canon — and quite possibly shed light on the forthcoming film The Force Awakens?
