Reposted from @virginia.tech Tucker Bruguiere is channeling the skills he gained serving in the Marine Corps into his @VTCals research. 🌱

These days, his life looks more like that of the traditional student. But before, a class day started at 5 a.m., experiential learning consisted of participating in live training drills near enemy territories, and studying abroad meant serving a tour in a foreign land.

Reposted from @vtmensrugby VT Men’s Rugby family, friends, and supporters,

GIVING DAY IS ALMOST HERE! We are just an hour and a half away from 6th annual event!

We have seen a success at a high level on our team these last two years. We are proud to be able to call ourselves the 2021 AND 2022 NCR D1AA National Champions.

That being said - None of that would have been possible without the foundation the players before us set. The team culture, attitude, and mission was cemented by those who worked hard to elevate the club to where it is now.

However, we can’t claim all the credit. It has been the generosity of our supporters that keep the club alive. Without your support, we would not accomplish what we have, and what is to come. That is why days like GIVING DAY, are so important. taken in Virginia Tech by @zak.worrell

I'll never pass up the opportunity to use one of my favorite quotes. “Strong people are harder to kill, and more useful in general." - Mark Rippetoe 💪💪💪

Reposted from @eleikosport When asked to picture someone who is healthy and fit, we typically imagine someone who is trim and lean. Rarely do we picture someone who is large or overweight. This is an unfortunate oversight on our part since we have known for decades that health is not specific to size or weight only. Rather the amount of strength, be it cardiorespiratory or muscular, is more beneficial for overall health. This is known as the “fat but fit” paradox.

Numerous research studies have shown that stronger men and women, young and old who are overweight, or even obese, can have better all-cause mortality outcomes than those who are lean and weak. In other words, those who have better levels of cardiorespiratory and/or muscle strength & power regardless of their body mass index, waist circumference, or body fat percentage, live longer and have less incidence of mental and physical disease.

Based on numerous research articles, science suggests increasing muscle and/or cardiorespiratory strength/power be the primary focus for decreasing disease and mortality, more so than weight loss. This does not suggest weight loss is not important; it’s about priority.

Reposted from @vtmensrugby That’s a wrap on the 2022 CRC 7s tournament! Your Hokie 7s team finished the weekend with a record of 3-2 with wins against Nazareth, Florida, and Clemson. The team finished 3rd overall in the Survivors Shield bracket. We thank all of our friends, family, and alumni for the continued support of the program this spring. We could not have done it without you! by @zak.worrell
