NASA is orbiting the moon right now — and their workout changes everything about how you should be training this summer.
The Artemis II crew launched April 1, 2026 and is currently using a flywheel exercise device aboard the Orion capsule. The science behind that device is the same science the American College of Sports Medicine just put at the center of their first major resistance training update since 2009.
Swipe through all 10 slides to learn:
• Why the eccentric (lowering) phase of every exercise is where most of your muscle growth signal comes from
• What time under tension means and how to apply it with any equipment you already have
• What the new 2026 ACSM guidelines say about building strength vs. building muscle
• Why most gym programs accidentally create muscular imbalances — and how to train smarter
• How Strong & Lean and Maxwell Nutrition Unlimited can help you apply all of this this summer

Foot strike is not the main issue when it comes to Achilles tendinopathy.

A large prospective study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine followed 911 runners for a full year, starting with baseline biomechanics testing (3D gait analysis) and then tracking training volume using Fitbit data. Because everyone started healthy, it avoids the chicken or egg problem that happens in reactive injury studies.

Big takeaway: stop forcing an unnatural gait to “fix” your stride. The Achilles is built as a three-part spiral, and sudden form changes can shift tension and make things worse.

Also remember tendon recovery is like wet cement. If you keep driving over it before it sets, the repair never holds. Space harder sessions so collagen can rebuild.

During Monday Night Football, Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans left the game after his head hit the ground while making a catch — ruled out with a concussion.

That moment raises a bigger question: what is the NFL actually doing to protect players’ brains?

One of their main safety pushes has been the Guardian Cap — the padded helmet shell used in practice that the league says reduces concussions by 50%.

But a brand-new 2025 study from the University of Georgia and UNC found no reduction in the force or number of hits.
Instead, players wearing Guardian Caps took 36% fewer hits to the facemask, but 151% more hits to the back of the head.

So where does real brain protection start?
From the inside.

Taysom Hill is back — just 10 months after tearing his ACL and four stabilizing ligaments.
But being back doesn’t mean being 100%.

Against the Giants, Hill logged:
• 8 offensive snaps
• 6 rushing attempts (–1 yard)
• 1 passing completion (19 yards)
• 1 receiving route

That’s a light workload by design — because Hill is in the Return to Sport phase.
He’s cleared to play, but still building control, confidence, and stability in that reconstructed knee.

Here’s how it works:
• Return to Participation — modified practice, no contact
• Return to Sport — cleared to compete, limited volume
• Return to Performance — full capacity, pre-injury form

Hill’s game is built on power, not speed — short-yardage pushes, Wildcat runs, and contact balance — and that’s what makes his return possible this early.
He doesn’t need top-end explosiveness like Tyreek Hill. He just needs strength, stability, and smart usage.

💡 Return to Sport is a benchmark — not a finish line.

breaks down Tyreek Hill’s devastating knee dislocation on the Injury Desk, and what Nick Chubb’s career tells us about the long road back.

What is a knee dislocation with multi-ligament damage?
It’s when the ACL plus other stabilizing ligaments tear at once, often with risk to blood vessels and nerves. It’s not just season-ending — it can be career-altering.

The Numbers:
· Isolated ACL tears: 9–12 month recovery, 80–85% return to play, only ~65% return to pre-injury level.
· Multi-ligament injuries: 12–18 month recovery, 60–70% return, much lower chance of full performance.
· Returning before 9 months = 7× higher risk of reinjury.

Why does this matter?
Nick Chubb shows both sides. After his first catastrophic knee injury in college, it took time but he became a top-10 NFL RB for four years. After his second catastrophic injury in 2023? He has not regained that explosiveness, and now plays as a backup.

That’s the difference between returning to sport and returning to performance.

In the article, we discuss:
· Tyreek Hill’s brutal knee dislocation and outlook for 2026
· Nick Chubb as a cautionary tale
· What Taysom Hill’s return from a similar injury looks like right now with the Saints

and break down Week 3 ankle injuries on the Injury Desk Podcast, including Najee Harris’ Achilles rupture, James Conner’s season-ending foot and ankle injury, and CeeDee Lamb’s high ankle sprain.

What is Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI)?
CAI is when an ankle that has been sprained keeps giving way, even after rehab. It is not just a weak ankle. It is a neurological issue where the brain loses efficient communication with the joint.

The Numbers:
· Up to 40–50% of lateral ankle sprains lead to recurring problems
· 24% progress to chronic instability that impacts cutting, balance, and game performance

Why does this matter?
CAI forces athletes to rely too much on vision for balance instead of their body’s natural sensory system. That is why they can look sharp in practice but break down under the chaos of a game. Helmets, lights, defenders, and fatigue all disrupt that visual reliance.

That is why Lamb’s return is worth watching. He may be back in 3 to 5 weeks, but the real test is whether his ankle holds under fatigue and contact, not just in practice drills.

On the podcast, we discuss:
· Najee Harris and Austin Ekeler’s Achilles ruptures (season-ending)
· James Conner’s contact ankle injury (season-ending)
· CeeDee Lamb’s high ankle sprain (returnable)
· Saints RT Taliese Fuaga battling knee and back issues after patellar tendonitis
