Man. Torn ACL's Could Not Have Been This Common Back in The Days

[Mac Casper]

In the 90s if you were a college player trying to go pro with a history of a torn ACL you'd get the look from coaches and GMs

Look at Ryan broyles.

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

The game is just too fast and intense

Bingo..

step 1. you got athletes on performance enhancing drugs tearing down clean athletes.

step 2. the clean athletes are tearing their ACLs

step 3. the clean athletes start taking PEDs to heal quicker and decide to stay on them.

step 4. the athletes tear down the next gen of athletes.

rinse and repeat brehs. its a circle of life.

I'm 28 and I have not been consistently athletically active since the 9th grade when I learned how to sell dope.

Don't get me wrong, I can hoop, I'm far from a scrub, but I barely hoop 3-4 times a year. It's definitely from not overworking my body, but I NEVER stretch before doing anything and my diet is shytty as hell. I'm guessing my bones weRe not in good shape.

thats the most detroit shyt ive ever read in my life

nikkas have no technique and body themselves.

In brazillian jiujitsu the people who get hurt are always coming off a layoff, trying to beast or white belts trying to use too much strength when they do moves. People who dont go with the flow and resist a strong current, get BROKEN.

Drink some calcium. Legs like candy canes.

Heavier penalties for head shots=Lower tackles, spike in ACL injuries

This is a direct result of all the controversy surrounding the frequency of concussions

Football is dangerous as hell

It's gonna fukk you up one way or another

Combination of things, shoes, fitness and overcompensation

-Shoes are no longer designed to support the natural arch in your foot, and because of that most athletes are flat footed today where 30 years ago the majority of athletes had a natural arch. Lack of arch wears down knee cartilage and weakens tendons
-We put more emphasis on building muscle mass than maintaining lean muscle. Its scary today how many young athletes don't stretch properly before engaging in physical activity. I often suggest a yoga regimen for young athletes
-When a player has a knee sprain or tendinitis or something like that, the player is only being treated for that injury with the goal to get back on the playing field as soon as THAT injury heals. Holistically, the doctor should be looking at the uninjured leg just as closely to watch for signs of overcompensation. Its crazy how many ACL tears occur on the "previously uninjured" limb

Think it's just over usage. Similar thing is happening in baseball with tommy john and the early consensus is too much competitive ball at a young age is causing it. Kids play ball year round, which is wayyyy more of a burdensome schedule then it used to be, at least in baseball. And that mileage catches up.

You have to eat better sweetie. Your people have high blood pressure problems already , so ribs and fried chicken every day is not going to help. Get one of your baby mothers to "hook you up" with some greens once in a while. I don't agree with your career choice, but if you're going to do something don't you want to be the best at it? How are you going to successfully run from the police if your malnourished legs are too weak to juke and cut through alleys and hurdle crackheads?

Cac alert.

Bruhs I be watching these dudes snap they acl just running down the field got me shook to go hoop or do anything physical thinkin I'm next


Esp with no health insurance



But real shyt I'd love to find out what's the reason it seems like athletes be blowin out they knees like nothin nowadays


Shoes???
Starting too young?
Training year round?
When u get that fast/strong your ligaments can't handle it?

Could be any of those

Let me guess, u live in a red state? A state Obeezy lost and u have a republican governor. Brehs dont have health insurance in 2015, thats fukked up

 

[Geek Nasty]

Ppl are just getting to fast and too strong.
Nice to build muscle but you cant really build ligaments and tendons

I think working out does make your tendons stronger if I remember right, just not strong enough.

It's the food. No nutrients at all. Especially as young kids eating Micky Ds and drink Hawaiian Punch. We aren't developing right.
