Overtraining is why there’s so many injuries all sports

[jjgold]

Too much emphasis on all this BS now and technology some of you don’t remember years ago athletes would just show up at a game drinking all night and doing cocaine and rarely got injured men and woman all sports

They trained, but it wasn’t their entire life like it is today all year-round

Great info, JJ.

What’s the play?

 

[BMR Genie]

It's like you're saying that players of this generation are soft.

 

[ttwarrior1]

all the best players train less than everyone else. Just with more effort when they do so.
Not to mention outdated training

 

[jjgold]

Too much weight training also it’s really dumb

yeah Tom Brady, Jordan , LeBron, Steph, Ohtani , Aaron Donald, Ray Lewis, IChiro, Pujols, Kershaw

were all known to train way less

Definitely the case when it comes to hamstring injuries

 

[redrightred]

It's not training. It is the intensity of play. Guys go all out now when they used to have to pace themselves. Pace of play is much higher and everyone is bigger and faster and putting much more stress on their bodies.

specificity that starts at a young age big part of the equation

Definitely the case when it comes to hamstring injuries

Over 90% of hamstring injuries come from a weak low back.

actually yes, they trained less, smarter and with more effort

Warrior knows a ton about training. Don’t forget this guy is a world-class tennis player.

Overtraining is the reason there’s so many injuries in sports now

Kids hitting weight room & messing around w gear in HS to get ahead.

Nolan Ryan once said he'd discourage any weight training until he felt the kid was filling out. Exercise bike only.

To support your argument JJ, just look at Saquon Barkley. Classic symptoms of over-training. Strains, tears, sprains. All symptoms of over training.

One guy you never have to worry about that with, is Joel Embiid. That mother fukker comes to camp every year overweight and out of shape
