Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio. You may have noticed that Power Athlete has been on a bit of an ACL kick recently. If there were a joint injury pandemic, this would definitely be it, with nearly 120,000 ACL injuries per year in the states

alone and an up to 32% re-injury rate, it is a real bitch to tear your ACL. Dr. Adam Anz,

an orthopedic surgeon of the infamous Andrews Institute, joins us to provide another perspective

on injury, including the use of stem cell therapy and blood flow restriction.

What can capillary refill rates tell us about recovery, and what can we do to prevent our kids from suffering catastrophic injury?

Interestingly enough, when a kid suffers an injury, there are some possible benefits that could result.

Movie reviews and occasionally talking to people smarter than us.

That is what Power Athlete Radio does.

Here it is, episode 362.

I'm going down the road.

I'm smoking.

Going down the road.

Mr. Payne threshold over here can't fucking wear headphones for two hours. Get out of here. You're soft, dude. Are we rolling? You're soft. Yeah, we are. Do you feel a hot there. Just feel it. Hot, hot, hot. Those are hot to ears. Hot, hot, hot, hot. But how cool this fucking ants? Yeah, yeah.

I just kept thinking, like, of course John has the coolest fucking surgeon.

He's just kind of like he's got the hair, the surgeon hair, he's got the surgeon's steady hands when he puts him up there like that.

Man, he's a cool cap, man.

He's so cool, in fact that he, like the Luke Summers, is the Adam Ants. Oh, we're douche brothers. On Instagram. Dude, he, uh, the first time I met ants, I mean, like, I had never, like, I sat next him with this thing and I was like, he's just kind of sitting there and we just strike up a conversation and he's like, oh, I work for, you know, I'm orthopedic for Dr. Andrews and I was like,

oh, I said, you know I'm orthopedic for Dr. Andrews and I was like oh I just made the joke I'm like well you know I'm a Stedman guy because there was kind of like not a rivalry but like you're either kind of one of your route like you've um well it's probably like Hopkins and Vale and then you got Andrews Institute and you're like different teams kind of gravitate towards certain ones got to be kind of like like tools you're a Milwaukee guy
