Most coaches fail their athletes long before an injury ever occurs because they train muscles for show while completely neglecting the structural integrity of the joints. Mark Uptegraff II had his Division I playing career ended in an instant by an L4–S1 laminectomy, a devastating setback that forced him to stop chasing personal weight room numbers and start studying how to keep human bodies from breaking. Through nearly a decade running strength programs across the collegiate landscape, he developed a systematic approach to joint capacity, relative strength baselines, and individualized "bucketing" that reliably produces bulletproof, high-velocity athletes. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Joint Integrity Gap: Why standard weight room programming exposes athletes to catastrophic soft-tissue tears and how iso-ramping builds load-bearing capacity. The 20 MPH Threshold: How Fordham Football expanded its high-velocity roster from 9 to 46 athletes without burning out their nervous systems. Relative Strength Thresholds: The exact squat and press ratios an athlete must hit before transitioning into advanced power development. Proactive Return-to-Play: The specific warm-up framework that cut a grade-two MCL rehab timeline from six weeks to just eleven days. The Coach's Reality Check: How an unexpected career-ending spine surgery transformed a former walk-on into an elite system-builder. MEET THE GUEST Mark Uptegraff II is the Director of Football Strength & Conditioning at Fordham University. A former UNC offensive lineman whose playing career was halted by major spine surgery, Uptegraff turned personal physical adversity into a relentless pursuit of human performance. Having refined his methods through the ranks at Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Division III Wittenberg, he has earned a reputation as an innovator in injury mitigation, joint capability, and athlete longevity. His credentials include SCCC, CSCS, FRCms, FRSC, FRA, and USAW.

PFAS rules from the EPA have been getting a lot of attention, as the Trump administration looks to make controversial adjustments. One recent rule change effected drinking water, but crucially, only impacted publicly owned municipal drinking water systems.  HRP's Bryan Massa, LSP, Regional Office manager for HRP Massachusetts, and PFAS expert, has worked closely with exactly the type of drinking water utilities that will have to be incompliance with these agency rules.  For today's episode of the PFAS Pulse Podcast, Bryan will walk us through the rules as they've stood and explain the nuances and complexities that come with utilities remaining in compliance.  Listen to learn more and subscribe to The Pulse for all the details.

Advocate and Rise   What happens when the people responsible for helping you move forward stop listening? You learn how powerful your own voice can become. In this episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I step back from the idea of constantly pushing forward to talk about one of the most important skills every amputee must develop: advocating for yourself. Self-advocacy has been a major part of my journey since long before my amputation. After tearing my MCL while preparing for my second-degree black belt test, I endured five years, ten surgeries, increasing pain, and complications caused by arthrofibrosis. Each surgery brought a new doctor, a new explanation, and another retelling of my medical history. Eventually, I realized I could no longer rely on someone else to connect every piece of the puzzle for me. I began reading my surgical reports, researching unfamiliar medical terms, writing down questions, and paying closer attention to what my body was telling me. That process helped uncover the condition behind many of my complications and eventually gave me the courage to advocate for the amputation that changed my life. That need to speak up did not end after surgery. It became even more important. As amputees, we depend heavily on our prosthetists, especially after our surgeons are no longer involved in our everyday care. A prosthetic leg will never feel exactly like the limb we lost, so we must balance realistic expectations with the knowledge that constant pain should not be accepted as normal. Discomfort, adjustment, and awkwardness can be part of learning a prosthesis. Debilitating pain is a sign that something may need further investigation.   One of many appointments with my prosthetist.   I share how ongoing socket pain led my prosthetist and me to continue experimenting, collaborating, and searching for answers instead of giving up. Eventually, an MRI revealed a large neuroma that no socket adjustment could fix. That experience reminded me that good care requires teamwork. My prosthetist brought his knowledge, but I had to clearly communicate what I was feeling and continue trusting my instincts. Supportive medical teams are a must in your positive care and experience as an amputee   Living as an amputee also carries a daily mental load. Some mornings my leg feels strong and ready for everything I have planned. Other days, discomfort, swelling, skin irritation, or a poor fit can completely change the day. Even more than seven years after my amputation, I still have to remain flexible and listen to my body. My message throughout this episode is simple: do not give up on yourself. Ask questions. Bring someone with you when you need support. Find professionals who are willing to listen, collaborate, and fight beside you. You are more than an insurance claim, a medical chart, or a difficult case.   My support system   Your voice matters. Your mobility matters. Your future is worth fighting for.   Ready to Advocate for Yourself? Your journey does not have to be walked alone. If you are struggling to feel heard, searching for answers, or simply needing a community that understands the realities of amputee life, I encourage you to reach out. Join me and other women amputees during our weekly Amped Women virtual chats, where we come together to share, listen, encourage, and support one another. And if you are ready to move beyond survival, set meaningful goals, and take your next steps with accountability, Momentum may be the community you have been looking for. Follow the BAWarrior Podcast, subscribe on YouTube, and connect with me on social media so you do not miss future episodes, live conversations, and community gatherings. Most importantly, keep asking questions, keep trusting what your body is telling you, and never be afraid to use your voice. You are worth advocating for. Your mobility matters. Your dreams matter. And you do not have to give up.   Have a beautifully blessed week ahead and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,  

Cole Eiguren arrived at the 2026 Cheyenne Frontier Days entered in two events and left with $11,100, an all-around championship and a buckle tied to generations of family history.Most of Eiguren's Cheyenne earnings came in the tie-down roping, where he won his bracket, placed second in the semifinals and finished fourth in the finals for $10,100. He did it aboard Stoner, the 8-year-old grade red roan gelding his family bought as a colt and selected specifically for Cheyenne's walking-fresh setup.In this episode, Eiguren walks through his bracket win, the semifinals and the added urgency behind his finals run. He also explains why Stoner excels on fresh calves, what he learned after tearing his MCL at Cheyenne in 2025 and how he kept the all-around race out of his mind with one calf left to rope.The buckle itself carries even more meaning. Eiguren's grandfather won five Cheyenne buckles, including an all-around buckle that Eiguren's mother now wears. With his first child due in October, Eiguren's new buckle may one day become part of that same family tradition.

Join hosts Tom Simmons and Matthew Wallace as we talk the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's newly released Draft Guidance for Reducing Risk from PFOA and PFOS in Biosolids. We begin by explaining what biosolids are, why they can contain PFOA and PFOS—the two most historically used and commonly detected PFAS chemicals in the United States—and why these contaminants have become a growing concern. While the EPA's new guidance offers recommendations for testing, monitoring, and reducing risk, it's important to note that the guidance is entirely voluntary. We also explore how states are taking their own approaches to regulating PFAS in biosolids. Finally, we examine the practical challenges facing wastewater treatment plants if biosolids can no longer be land applied Join us as we unpack the latest EPA guidance, the growing patchwork of state regulations, and what comes next for biosolids management in the evolving world of PFAS.

BloodCancerTalks: ASCO/EHA 2026 Lymphoma Round-Up with Dr. Thomas LewGuest: Dr. Thomas Lew, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Melbourne, Australia) — hematologist specializing in lymphoid malignancies.In this episode, we break down the biggest lymphoma and CLL data from ASCO and EHA 2026 (Chicago and Stockholm), covering mantle cell lymphoma genomics, bispecific antibodies in DLBCL and follicular lymphoma, a practice-changing (or not) CNS prophylaxis study, transplant-eligible relapsed DLBCL, fixed-duration BTK/BCL2 combinations in CLL, and the first in vivo CAR T data in lymphoma.1. TRIANGLE: TP53-Mutated MCL Molecular Subgroup AnalysisMolecular subgroup data from the practice-shaping TRIANGLE trial presented by Dr. Marta Grau.Discussion: Where TP53-mutated MCL stands today, and whether ibrutinib-containing regimens are changing the natural history of this historically dismal subgroup.2. EPCORE DLBCL-1: Epcoritamab vs. Chemotherapy in R/R DLBCLRandomized phase 3 trial (n=483) of bispecific antibody epcoritamab vs. investigator's choice chemotherapy (72% R-GemOx, 28% BR) in second-line-or-later, transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL, presented by Prof. Chris Fox.Discussion: A PFS benefit without an OS signal, set against a meaningfully higher infection-related mortality — what this means for patient selection and infection mitigation strategies.3. CNS Prophylaxis in Ultra-High-Risk DLBCL: Does HD-MTX Help?Pooled analysis of two large multicenter retrospective cohorts (n=1,923 ultra-high-risk patients — CNS-IPI 5–6, testicular/renal/adrenal/breast involvement, or ≥3 extranodal sites), presented by Dr. Matt Wilson (Glasgow) and simultaneously published in JCO. Discussion: Whether these data close the door on routine HD-MTX in ultra-high-risk DLBCL, and if any subgroup still warrants prophylaxis.4. Pola-R-ICE: A Negative Trial in Transplant-Eligible R/R DLBCLRandomized phase 3 study (4 European cooperative groups; n=294) of polatuzumab vedotin added to R-ICE in transplant-eligible R/R DLBCL, with ASCT/alloSCT/CAR-T permitted as consolidation.Discussion: Why this trial missed, and what it tells us about the ceiling of intensive salvage chemo-immunotherapy platforms in the CAR-T era.5.

Spring Cleaning – Dallas StarsThe Dallas Stars entered the 2025-26 season with Stanley Cup expectations after three consecutive trips to the Western Conference Final and four straight 100-point seasons. Instead, Dallas suffered another painful postseason disappointment, falling to the Minnesota Wild in six games during the opening round. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine the Stars' dramatic swings in performance, the devastating injuries that depleted their lineup, and the difficult decisions awaiting General Manager Jim Nill as he attempts to extend the championship window of one of the NHL's most talented—but increasingly veteran—teams.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Dallas Stars finish second in the Central Division before losing to Minnesota in six games during the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Neil and Vic discuss the consistently high expectations surrounding a team that has averaged more than 107 points over the last five full seasons.[00:01:00] The conversation turns to Dallas' repeated playoff disappointments after three consecutive trips to the Western Conference Final. Glen Gulutzan returned for his second stint behind the Stars' bench, following a long line of respected coaches who were also unable to lead the organization back to the Stanley Cup Final.[00:01:45] Neil explains how the strength of the Central Division and the NHL's current playoff format creates an extremely difficult opening-round matchup for any team finishing second or third. Dallas knew for months that Minnesota would likely be its opponent, but still could not find a way through one of the league's deepest teams.[00:02:00] Vic reviews the Stars' wildly inconsistent regular season. Dallas followed a 14-1-2 stretch with a 2-6-4 slide, then produced a 14-0-1 run that included 10 consecutive victories before struggling again late in the year. The panel discusses why the Stars can look unbeatable at their best and completely vulnerable when their game disappears.[00:03:00] Dallas' recent playoff history is placed under the microscope. The Stars surrendered a 2-1 series lead against Edmonton in 2024, struggled offensively against the Oilers again in 2025, and then lost another 2-1 series advantage against Minnesota after allowing a late lead to slip away in Game 4.[00:04:00] Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston each score 45 goals, but the offense drops sharply after the two young stars. Mikko Rantanen is revealed to have suffered a torn MCL during the Olympics, limiting his effectiveness after returning for the final 10 games of the regular season.[00:05:00] The Stars' extensive injury list is examined. Tyler Seguin suffers a season-ending torn ACL, Roope Hintz tears his hamstring shortly after returning from the Olympics, while Miro Heiskanen, Radek Faksa, Michael Bunting, and Nils Lundkvist also deal with significant injuries during the playoff push.[00:06:00] Neil and Vic debate how much the injuries contributed to the first-round exit. While every playoff team deals with health issues, Dallas lost several high-impact players whose absence significantly reduced the club's offensive depth and ability to compete with Minnesota.[00:07:00] Attention shifts to the offseason facing three-time General Manager of the Year Jim Nill. Dallas owns only five selections in the 2026 NHL Draft, with no picks in the first or third rounds after aggressively trading future assets to acquire veteran help.[00:07:45] The Stars enter the offseason above the projected salary cap before the July reset. Their unrestricted free agents include captain Jamie Benn, Michael Bunting, Adam Erne, Nathan Bastian, Alex Petrovic, and Kyle Capobianco.[00:08:00] Jason Robertson headlines Dallas' restricted free agent class after another elite goal-scoring season. Neil describes Robertson as one of the NHL's premier natural finishers and expects his next contract to become one of the largest and most important negotiations of Jim Nill's tenure.[00:09:00] The discussion turns to the aging portion of the Stars' core. While Robertson and Johnston remain young franchise pillars, longtime veterans Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are approaching the final stages of their careers, forcing Dallas to consider when and how to begin retooling the roster.[00:10:00] The episode concludes with a difficult question surrounding Jamie Benn's future. Neil praises Benn's leadership, toughness, and lasting impact as captain, but acknowledges that Jim Nill must eventually decide whether to continue with the veteran core or transition the team toward a new generation of leadership.

Chad doesn't spend a ton of time in the rodeo world, but sitting down with Dusty Tuckness, it's hard not to see how much it mirrors everything The Fowl Life stands for. Dusty's a hunter, so this one was a natural. Dusty has been voted into the National Finals Rodeo by the top bull riders in the world 17 years in a row. This is a record that's never been touched. A lot of people in the stands don't even know who he is. That's the job. Step in, take the hit, protect the guy everyone else is watching. They sit down the day after Dusty took a hard one. A subluxed hip, stretched hammy, sprained MCL — and went back out and fought 11 more bulls. They get into the split-second decisions, the two-man team, and what it really means to do a job nobody sees coming, but everybody needs when things go wrong. Dusty talks openly about his faith, getting through a compound fracture of his tib and fib, and why he considers himself a Christian who just happens to fight bulls. Chad brings the mallard duck story, the veterans he's hunted with, and what this lifestyle has actually given him. Animal ethics, the hunting and rodeo crossover, Rocker Steiner, Stetson Wright, and Caesars Rodeo all come up too.

Freeride skiing is an exhilarating sport that pushes the boundaries of skiing and challenges the limits of athleticism. In this episode, we dive into an enlightening conversation with Jess Hotter, the 2022 Freeride World Tour champion. She unpacks the essence of freeride skiing and what it takes to excel in this dynamic sport, and how an injury can derail a lifetime of preparation and training. In February of 2026 Hotter crashed at the Freeride World Championships tearing her ACL, MCL and meniscus, as well as straining most other ligaments in her knee. Today she and Dave discuss the physical and mental challenges of repair and rehab and the long road in their return to sport. Understanding Freeride Skiing: What Sets It Apart?Freeride skiing is not just about speeding down groomed slopes; it encompasses the thrill of navigating untracked terrain and challenging conditions. Jess describes it as skiing with friends while aiming for the highest point on a mountain and making the descent as stylish as possible. The aim is to choose lines that showcase skill, creativity, and control, ultimately judged on criteria like air, style, speed, fluidity, and technique.The Journey from Casual Skier to Freeride CompetitorFor those wondering how to transition from casual skiing to freeride competition, Jess highlights the importance of progression. It's about taking small steps—starting from easy jumps to more significant cliffs and challenging terrains. By gradually pushing boundaries and learning from every experience, skiers can build the confidence and skills needed to tackle high-stakes competitions. Key Takeaways- Freeride skiing is about creativity and skill in navigating untracked terrain.- Competitions are judged on multiple criteria, emphasizing style and technique.- Preparation and visualization are crucial for a successful run.- Progression is essential for those looking to move into competitive freeride skiing.Freeride skiing represents the pinnacle of skiing excellence, combining creativity, skill, and a love for the outdoors. If you're inspired to explore this thrilling sport, start small, push your limits, and remember that every great skier was once a beginner.

Dusty Tuckness has been voted into the National Finals Rodeo by the top bull riders in the world 17 years in a row. That's a record nobody else has touched. Chad sits down with Dusty the day after he took a hit — subluxed hip, stretched hammy, sprained MCL — and went back out and fought 11 more bulls that same night. They get into what it takes to step in front of an 1,800-pound animal that just threw somebody off and wants someone on the ground. The split-second decisions. The two-man team. Knowing when you're going to take the shot before it even lands. But this conversation goes well beyond rodeo. Dusty talks openly about his faith and how it carried him through a compound fracture of his tib and fib, how it shapes the way he competes, and why he considers himself a Christian who just happens to fight bulls. Chad brings his own story; the mallard duck that started Banded, the veterans he's raised money for, and what this lifestyle gives to him. They also get into Rocker Steiner, Stetson Wright, the camaraderie of the rodeo world, animal ethics, the crossover between hunting culture and rodeo, and what it means to be the unsung hero in an arena full of people watching someone else. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and brought to you by Caesars Rodeo, Resistol Hats, Demerbox, GATR Coolers & Drinkware, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, Corning Ford, Bodyguard Bumpers, and LEER Truck Toppers.

In this episode of RECESS, Juliet and I open with a massive shoutout to local legend Kate Courtney — who, after winning mountain biking world championships, the Leadville 100 record, and a long course world title, has now casually taken over road cycling too.We also get into something that came up close to home: Juliet watched the Barceloneta men's water polo team — European Champions League winners — practice on virtually no food or water, which opened up a real conversation about how you change deeply embedded fueling habits in elite sport. Spoiler: athletes have to feel the difference themselves.Then we dig into surgery nutrition — a topic that affects way more people than elite athletes. Muscle loss after orthopedic surgery runs about 1% per day, with up to 18% loss in the quads and hamstrings within six weeks. We break down protein timing, pre-surgical carbohydrate loading, and how to protect your body going in and coming out.Plus: Kelly's ACL and "sprain plus" knee update, Haute Route hike prep, and an ongoing domestic dispute about whether Stumptown Holler Mountain is the peak of human coffee achievement or just the beginning of the search.New episodes of The Ready State Podcast drop every Thursday.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Kate Courtney's move from mountain biking to road cycling is one of the most remarkable athletic pivots happening in sport right nowHow intra-session carbohydrate fueling is changing across elite sports, and why winning teams are often the hardest to convince to changeWhat the research says about muscle loss after orthopedic surgery: up to 1% per day and 18% loss in six weeksWhy protein needs jump to 1.2–2g per kilogram of bodyweight in the pre- and post-surgical windowHow consuming ~50g of carbohydrates two hours before surgery may reduce post-surgical insulin resistance by 50%Why "three limb training" matters during recovery and why you can't just wait for healing to happenHow Kelly is rehabbing a torn ACL, MCL, high-grade fibular sprain, torn calf, and two menisci, and still calling it a "sprain plus"What the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt demands physically, and how Kelly is prepping for 10 days of mountain hikingKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS; Kate Courtney shoutout — local legend, mountain biking world champion, and now national road cycling champion(01:30) How Kate Courtney broke the factory racing model, started her own team, won Leadville 100 with a course record, and took the long course world championship, and most recently the US National Road Championship(04:43) The mutant athlete era: Kate, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Puck Pieterse, and why cyclists switching disciplines is making the sport more exciting than ever(06:00) Water polo and intra-session fueling: watching the Barceloneta European champions practice under-fueled, and a conversation with Heather Petri about how far sport nutrition has come(07:50) How you actually change fueling dogma in elite sport: showing athletes the data, letting them feel the difference, and why winning teams are hardest to convince(08:25) Intra-session carb targets across sports: from 30–50g for recreational athletes to 100g+ per hour for elite endurance, and what the Tour de France taught us about gut training(16:40) Kids and fueling: why youth athletes are chronically under-fueled and what parents can do about it(17:30) The coffee wars: Stumptown Holler Mountain vs. the challengers — Monmouth, Kimbo, Doma Roasters Chronic, and the Aeropress experiment(21:10) Haute Route prep: hiking Chamonix to Zermatt, 10 days, 8–10 hour hiking days, and how Kelly is training his "sprain plus" knee for the Alps(26:55) Kelly's injury breakdown: torn ACL, torn MCL, high-grade fibular sprain, torn calf, both menisci — and why he chose to delay ACL repair to make the trip(28:00) Surgery nutrition: the research on muscle loss post-orthopedic surgery, why protein needs spike, and the pre-surgical carbohydrate timing window(31:20) Can we challenge the "nothing by mouth" pre-surgery protocol?

Episode 91 of The Mental Game features a powerful, captivating conversation with two-time Olympic silver medalist Ryan Cochran-Siegle.Cochran-Siegle is one of the great American alpine ski racers of his generation. He won silver in the super-G at both the 2022 Beijing Olympics and the 2026 Milano Cortina Games. His Beijing performance marked the first Olympic super-G medal by an American man in 38 years.His rise to stardom came despite a series of traumatic, career-threatening injuries, including a 2013 crash that tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus, and a 2021 accident that fractured his neck and nearly took his life.The perspective he gained during those lengthy recoveries shapes much of Cochran-Siegle's mindset today.He also comes from one of the most notable ski families in U.S. history. His mother, Barbara Cochran, won Olympic gold in slalom at the 1972 Sapporo Games, and numerous members of his family have competed at high levels in the sport.Cochran-Siegle is intensely focused on maintaining a strong mental game, practicing visualization before races, valuing the pursuit over the outcome, and embracing the joy he feels on the slopes.In this episode, Cochran-Siegle:Tells us about the life-changing athletic journey he recently completed — one that has nothing to do with skiingExplains how his mother's hands-off approach helped him develop into an Olympic skierTakes us through his pre-race mental routineAnd much moreThe Mental Game podcast is produced by Sam Brief and music is courtesy of David Brief and Channel J.

A wild weekend of fantasy baseball action delivered jaw-dropping power displays and unexpected pitching disasters, leaving managers to navigate an increasingly volatile landscape. Corey Pieper breaks down a massive slate of weekend results, major injury updates, catastrophic pitching lines, and the latest FanDuel Bet of the Day. The long ball took center stage on Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Schwarber put on a masterclass with a historic three-home run performance on Saturday, while Ozzie Albies, Jeremy Peña, Ty France, top draft picks Travis Bazzana and JJ Wetherholt, and collegiate phenom Jac Caglianone all left the yard twice over the weekend. Bryce Harper electrified fantasy managers by hitting for the cycle on Saturday, William Contreras put together a massive 4-for-5 day with a home run and 3 RBIs, and Wyatt Langford continued his hot streak, launching another long ball while handling leadoff duties on Sunday. On the mound, Joey Cantillo was nearly untouchable, carrying a gem through eight innings with nine strikeouts and just one earned run, while young arms like Cam Schlittler racked up an incredible 13 strikeouts, and Troy Melton fired six innings of one-hit ball. Veteran Logan Webb went the distance with an eight-inning complete game, and Nathan Eovaldi bounced back from a skipped start to log nine strikeouts over six strong frames. It wasn't all celebration, however, as several frontline aces ran into absolute buzzsaws. Freddy Peralta endured a catastrophic nightmare, knocked out after coughing up 10 earned runs on 10 hits in just 2.2 innings. Bryce Elder was tagged for eight earned runs on 12 hits, while Kevin Gausman got rocked for seven earned runs while walking four in just two innings. Stephen Kolek gave up nine earned runs in less than two frames, and Dustin May surrendered six earned runs in a brief two-inning appearance. Even steady stars hit speed bumps, as Jacob deGrom was tagged for six earned runs over six frames, and Tarik Skubal surrendered two home runs in a shaky 5.2-inning performance. The injury landscape remains highly active and critical for upcoming roster decisions. On the bright side, ace Brandon Woodruff and Shane Bieber are both set to make highly anticipated returns to the mound on Monday, Eury Perez is expected back next week, and Daulton Varsho made an immediate impact upon his return with a three-run blast. However, the Baltimore Orioles suffer a massive blow as star catcher Adley Rutschman lands on the 7-day concussion injured list after a freak collision, while MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr. is dealing with a Grade 1 MCL sprain. Elly De La Cruz is targeting a Tuesday return, and Teoscar Hernandez is eyeing a June 29th comeback, but Ryne Nelson (flexor), Michael Soroka (glute), Jordan Lawlar (hamstring), and Jack Leiter (ankle) all face structural setbacks.

Explore Matthew Hutton’s insights on bridging rehab & reconditioning, chronic vs. acute loads, strength, FMS, and preventing reinjury. Q: What inspired your journey to become an Athletic Trainer (AT) and specifically led you to work with soccer, particularly the Dynamo? A: My interest began in high school, where I excelled in science and math. After unsatisfying experiences shadowing a dentist and a physical therapist (who didn’t involve athletics), tearing my MCL introduced me to my high school AT, who became my inspiration. My path to soccer and the Dynamo was less direct, stemming from an Iowa soccer team connection that led to the Dynamo academy and eventually the main team. Q: What was the inspiration behind the topic “Bridging the Gap Between Rehab & Reconditioning”? A: The topic was inspired by a lifelong focus on performance and experience in various competitive athletic gym settings. It emphasizes the crucial collaboration among professionals for optimal return to play, especially evident at the professional soccer level, and highlights a passion for continuous learning in this field. Q: Can you explain chronic versus acute load ratios in athletic training? A: Chronic vs. acute load ratios involve monitoring an athlete’s training load over the past 3-5 weeks and comparing its average to the current training week. While there’s no single “gold standard,” a ratio of 1.4-1.6 is considered ideal, whereas anything above 2.0 suggests an increased risk of injury. Without GPS, metrics like mileage and manual counting of accelerations and decelerations are important. For example, high-speed running is typically above 5.5 m/s, and a sprint is above 7 m/s. Q: Between strength and power, which is more critical for injury prevention and performance? A: Research indicates that strength is more crucial for injury prevention, particularly focusing on strength and fascial length. While power is often overlooked, incorporating speed variables is essential. There’s a significant gap between heavy Nordic hamstring exercises and sprinting, underscoring the importance of bridging this divide. Q: Are you Functional Movement Screen (FMS) certified, and how has this influenced your approach? A: Yes, I am FMS certified, though I rarely use the actual testing. Instead, I heavily utilize the FMS framework and its progression principles. This framework proved highly beneficial, especially when working with large groups of 35-40 athletes at the JUCO level without dedicated strength staff. It allowed me to create reproducible corrective exercise PDFs for efficient widespread application. Q: How do you address the decrease in confidence experienced by athletes with recurrent injuries? A: While not an expert in this specific area, my approach involves understanding the athlete as an individual. I engage with them to comprehend their personal experiences and struggles, believing that this empathy is key to providing effective support and boosting their morale during challenging recovery periods. Q: What is the most significant complication you’ve observed with hamstring strains? A: The most significant complication with hamstring strains is the lack of a clear understanding of all the risk variables involved. For instance, an athlete might demonstrate exceptional hamstring strength on a NordBord, yet still experience recurrent injuries. This suggests that factors beyond isolated strength, such as the nervous system and fatigue, play a substantial role, making the absence of definitive risk factor evidence the primary challenge. Q: What is your foremost tip for preventing reinjury? A: My biggest tip for preventing reinjury is to employ a “smooth approach,” akin to art shading. This means gradually and consistently progressing exercises without sudden spikes in any variables. The key is to manipulate training variables appropriately and avoid abrupt changes to ensure a smooth and safe rehabilitation journey. Q: Where did the concept of “working backward” when creating a rehab plan originate for you? A: The concept of working backward in rehab planning originated from my experience with the Dynamo. Early on, I made the mistake of progressing athletes day by day based on their immediate feeling, which led to an expedited progression and a subsequent contralateral injury setback. This experience highlighted the importance of understanding the overall timeline and setting larger goals in advance to prevent moving too quickly through the rehabilitation process. Q: What is curvilinear running? A: Curvilinear running involves having athletes run along a uniform curve, like a half-circle, often marked by the edge of a box. This practice helps identify that the fastest linear sprinters may not necessarily be the fastest curvilinear sprinters, emphasizing the distinct biomechanical demands of curved running.

Greetings all! A few months before recoring this episode, I had the unfortunate experience of blowing out my knee: ACL, MCL and Meniscus - all torn. At 12 weeks post surgery, I decided to begin sharing my story of rehab and recovery. It's not easy and requires patience, discipline and realistic expectations - and it also requires the ability to let go and accept the help of others! If you are, or know someone who is, going through a long recovery process, I hope there's a little nugget in my story that helps you through a day, and you (or they) soon get back to doing whatever it is you love! Peace! Dave

The YouTube hour opened still on LeBron - Lindsey floated the idea that if LeBron sees the Cavs make deep playoff run, he might start thinking about going home to Cleveland to finish his career where he's truly beloved. Kap agrees. Dr. Robert Klapper joined for his weekly visit - he started with Vanderbilt's dislocated finger and then pivoted to Luca's calf injury. Sedano asked Klapper for a virtual visit ands described right knee pain above his MCL, usually when flying after heavy leg workouts; Klapper “diagnosed” him and offered a suggested recovery plan. Stephen A. Smith said that the Lakers organization allegedly doesn't like LeBron or Klutch Sports and Sedano reminded Kap there is history there… The Lindsey Segment!

Well look at this. The Mets are actually playing competent baseball again. After the disaster movie that was April, the Mets have gone 8-4 in May, averaging 4.75 runs per game while allowing just 3.33 runs per game — a massive turnaround from April's painful 2.81 runs scored and 4.46 runs allowed per game. Amazing what happens when the offense remembers its job description and the pitching staff stops treating every inning like an escape room challenge.Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down a Mets team that suddenly has energy, confidence, and — somehow — young players stepping up in huge spots. Jared Benge walked off the Tigers last night and continues to look like one of the few people in this organization who doesn't seem terrified of big moments. Meanwhile, Ewing gets the call to the majors and immediately keeps raking like he skipped the “adjustment period” memo entirely. The kids are alright… which honestly might be the most shocking development of the season.The offense has also finally started manufacturing runs instead of waiting around for somebody to hit a 3-run homer into another zip code. Small ball? Situational hitting? Productive at-bats? What is this, actual baseball? We'll get into what's changed offensively and why this lineup suddenly feels more connected than it did a month ago when everybody looked like they met each other in the parking lot before first pitch.On the pitching side, the young arms continue to flash potential while also driving everyone insane with inconsistency. The stuff is there. The command? That's another story. We'll talk about the growing pains, why catchers and pitching coaches need to react faster when guys clearly lose the zone, and why leaving struggling pitchers out there too long keeps turning manageable innings into full-blown disasters.Injury-wise, Juan Soto survived what initially looked like a scary ankle situation, while Francisco Alvarez was not nearly as lucky after tearing his MCL. Francisco Lindor's calf is reportedly improving, but the Mets still haven't given a real timeline because apparently mystery injuries are now part of the organizational identity.And now comes the fun part.Fresh off a 3-game sweep of the Tigers at Citi Field, the Mets now welcome the Yankees to Queens for a huge weekend Subway Series before heading out on a 7-game road trip through Washington and Miami. So yes… the vibes are finally improving. Which for Mets fans usually means preparing emotionally for something ridiculous to happen next.We'll break down all of it the only way we know how — baseball, sarcasm, chaos, soundboard abuse, and probably at least one unnecessary shot at the Yankees before the night's over.LGM. #PiitB #Mets

In today's episode, we welcomed Luhua (Michael) Wang, MD, to discuss the implications of the full FDA approval of brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus; brexu-cel) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Dr Wang is a professor in the Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma in the Division of Cancer Medicine, as well as a professor in the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.On April 2, 2026, the FDA granted traditional approval to brexu-cel based on data from the phase 2 ZUMA-2 trial (cohorts 1 and 2, NCT02601313; cohort 3, NCT04880434), with confirmatory data from cohort 3 showing that patients naive to a BTK inhibitor experienced an overall response rate (ORR) of 91% (95% CI, 82.5%-95.9%), a complete response (CR) rate of 79% (95% CI, 69.0%-87.1%), and a median duration of response (DOR) that was not reached (NR; 95% CI, 26.2 months-not evaluable).Dr Wang detailed the evolution of therapies in the MCL treatment paradigm, leading up to the approval of brexu-cel and the integration of CAR T-cell therapy. Along with highlighting the evolution of MCL management, Dr Wang explained how data from cohort 3 of ZUMA-2 add further context to the role of CAR T-cell therapy in the treatment paradigm and how it may affect treatment sequencing considerations.

Caffeine vs Paraxanthine, Sleep Quality, and Common Lifter Maladies (Injuries, Blood Work, Apnea, Aging) On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery (with Dr. Mike Nelson traveling) discuss a 2026 JISSN study on caffeine and its main metabolite paraxanthine in 14 male university rowers, finding the caffeine+paraxanthine combo improved 2,000m rowing performance versus placebo while caffeine-containing conditions worsened subjective sleep; they note key limitations including small sample size, subjective sleep measures, and unequal dosing (200 mg caffeine + 200 mg paraxanthine vs 200 mg of either alone). They then shift to “lifter maladies,” focusing on orthopedic issues (Phil's MCL tear and training through injury), blood work and cholesterol swings, and the role of athlete compliance and monitoring versus gen pop. They also cover sleep apnea prevalence in large lifters, mental standards and training psychology, aging-related risks (ASCVD, prostate enlargement), and compensatory benefits like higher bone density and pain tolerance. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:59 Paraxanthine vs Caffeine Study 03:18 Study Results and Dose Debate 07:05 Training Timing and Stimulants 07:56 Network Updates and Where to Listen 09:07 Mike Nelson Newsletter Plug 09:45 Lonnie Lowery Book Announcement 10:54 Lifters Maladies Kickoff 11:11 Injuries and Orthopedic Wear 15:16 Aging Athletes and Family Limits 16:43 Blood Work and Health Monitoring 21:15 Mindset and Body Image Standards 23:17 Low Frequency Training 24:42 Sleep Apnea In Lifters 29:02 Exercise Risk Offsets 32:58 Food Health Tradeoffs 35:36 Pain Tolerance Legacy 38:28 Age Chronic Conditions 40:37 Mental Grit Closing 41:42 Sign Off Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

This week we sit down with my dad, Al Couden.45 years as an electrician… and plenty of battle scars to show for it — including a fractured skull and a blown knee (ACL, MCL, PCL all at once). He was always active through work, but never followed a structured training program until about a year and a half ago.After losing my younger brother and his youngest son, everything shifted. What started as a way to cope has turned into something way bigger — fitness becoming a shared outlet that's brought our family closer than ever. Now it's a multi-generational thing we do together… from the gym to family trips in Puerto Rico with the kids.We talk about what it's like starting in your late 60s, building better habits around food and drinking, and stepping into the unknown — including signing up for his first-ever fitness event: a HYROX relay with my mom, Coach Drake's dad, and Missy Biddell.Real perspective. Real growth. Real family.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Compère Richard Cracknell, Broadcaster Marcus Buckland and Billie T as Roberto de Zerbi's first game in charge ended in defeat at Sunderland as we fell to a seventh loss in eight league games. Appointed two weeks ago following the departure of Igor Tudor, the Italian was unable to change our immediate fortunes as he made his debut as our Head Coach, seeing his new side go down to a narrow 1-0 reverse thanks to a heavily deflected goal from Nordi Mukiele just after the hour mark. We discuss De Zerbi's team selection and tactical decisions taken in the game and what he would have learnt ahead of a reunion against his former side Brighton next week. The panel also debate with only six games remaining and Spurs' Premier League survival hopes no longer in their hands, whether the players can mentally cope under the pressure and drag us out of this relegation battle as we sit, 18th in the table. Two points below West Ham United in 17th and three points below Nottingham Forest in 16th position. All three teams have six games left to play. We also touch-upon the refeering display from Rob Jones as Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro were all cautioned by referee Jones in the first-half, meanwhile Brian Brobbey, who swung an arm in the direction of Pedro Porro during a tussle and pushed Cristian Romero into Antonín Kinský which resulted in the keeper having to wear a head bandage for the remainder of the game and Romero in tears as he came off with a suspected medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury, remained on the field unpunished.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price close out the class with six running backs who, outside of the top tier, struggle to inspire confidence in any dynasty format. Jadarian Price out of Notre Dame may carry the "consensus RB2" label in many dynasty circles, but all three hosts come away largely underwhelmed. Price earns nerd scores in the low-to-mid 73s — respectable for this class, but not the kind of tape that inspires first-round dynasty capital. His vision, patience, and contact balance are legitimate strengths, but his near-total absence from the passing game (just 15 career receptions) is a glaring red flag in PPR formats. The hosts land on Price as a prototypical 1.5-to-2-year window guy — the kind of back an NFL team leans on in a pinch before eventually upgrading. Solid, not special. Nick Singleton came into Penn State with first-round buzz and a reputation as the premier running back in his recruiting class. What the Dynasty Nerds film room found was something far less exciting. Singleton scores a 70.8 (Rich) and 69.8 (Garret) — RB5 by default in a shallow class. He has the size, speed, and pass-catching ability to intrigue NFL teams, but his vision is described as "atrocious," his hips are tight, and he offers zero wiggle in the open field. He's a straight-line athlete playing running back rather than a polished NFL prospect. The crew agrees he's a late Day 3 pick — a high-ceiling project that dynasty managers should treat as a third-round flier at best. Le'Von Moss from Texas A&M had just seven games last season before tearing his MCL and ACL, and the limited film makes a full evaluation nearly impossible. When healthy, the crew acknowledges real tools — initial burst, angry running style, low pad level, and surprisingly better lateral movement than Singleton. But with only 121 career carries at his peak and no involvement in the passing game (two career receptions in 2025), Moss falls into the fourth tier of this class. Garret scores him a 68.7. The health question mark simply overshadows everything else. Jam Miller from Alabama carries the stigma of Crimson Tide running backs without the résumé to back it up. His 4.42 40-yard dash was legitimately surprising, and his pass protection grades are a relative bright spot, but that's about it. Poor vision, missed cutback lanes, and a concerning inability to break tackles leave the hosts stumped on how he gets drafted. Rich scores him a 65.6; Garret gives him a 63.7. The consensus: great athlete in the real world, not a dynasty asset in this one. Roman Hemby out of Indiana is everything you expect from a backup running back — nothing more, nothing less. He reads blocks well, almost never fumbles (two career fumbles on 710 carries), catches the ball adequately, and runs with purpose. But he lacks burst, top-end speed, and any ability to make defenders miss after contact. Garret scores him a 67.5. Rich identifies him as the best run blocker in this entire class. He'll stay on rosters because coaches will like him — but if he's ever starting, his team is already making calls. A true baked potato. No butter. The wild card of the episode is Rahsul Faison from South Carolina — a 26-year-old prospect who started college football in 2019, before COVID, and somehow scores a 70.5 on Rich's nerd scale (sixth in the class on tape alone). The age kills his dynasty outlook, but the tape is surprisingly watchable: genuine elusiveness, strong instincts, natural hands, and a high forced-missed-tackle rate per PFF. The hosts agree he's more of a priority free agent or late-round flier than a dynasty stash — but in a class this thin, even a 26-year-old with good tape stands out. His taxi squad eligibility running out before he'd realistically age off your roster is half the selling point. The 2026 running back class outside of Jeremiyah Love is genuinely one of the weakest in recent memory. Nerd scores drop from the 80s (Love) to the low 70s (Mike Washington, Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price) and then fall below 70 for everyone else. The hosts' advice: be patient, look for value in receivers and tight ends with your premium picks, and only reach for these backs if the landing spot justifies the risk.

In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open with Elliotte's travel mishap getting to Vancouver, before diving into a league where every game is starting to feel more meaningful as the playoff races tighten. They discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets holding a playoff spot under Rick Bowness (8:45), Edmonton's disappointing loss to Florida and Kris Knoblauch's measured response (13:25), and Brady Tkachuk's heart-to-heart with coach Green leading Ottawa to a big win over the Islanders (16:40). The guys also get into heated discussions from the GM meetings around the NHL playoff format (26:45), Auston Matthews undergoing surgery on his MCL with a lengthy recovery ahead (32:00), and Nashville's accelerating GM search (35:45). The Final Thought focuses on player safety discussions at the GM meetings, where headshots were addressed but goalie interference proved to be the most contentious topic (37:30).
