Nope. That's where I wonder if we are missing out on potentially useful information. Currently guidelines do not incorporate the particle sizes so it's hard to justify testing for them. The general...

I know some find this topic interesting: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/10/4/829

I'm not well-read on this topic as I'm in Pediatrics where this is less relevant. This review certainly makes a...

Good points all around. I'd rep you but you're still on spread.

Tommy W. and air2fakie, I agree if you should listen to your body and if you are having trouble recovering then cutting volume makes sense. The data isn't strong but it never really is in this field,...

Came online in February, I don't recall seeing it mentioned: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9012799/

Yesterday I did high-bar back squats 205x3x8 and then Nordic leg curls 2x6. Today I did several upper body compound movements.

Crossing my fingers all goes well with the home repair next week and...

I would always put band-aids over any torn callouses when deadlifting and this worked well. However, my grip was never a limiting factor if I used chalk and a decent bar. You can do that for a while...

Quick workout today:

High-bar back squats: 195x3x8
Paused front squats: 165x2x6

All of this felt good. Only 1 more week before our basement starts to be fixed and then I'll have more time for...

Definitely good for athletic performance in terms of improving "explosiveness". I'm not convinced it's better for strength/hypertrophy, to me it just somewhat shifts where the most difficult portion...

Do you mean:

1. Eccentric -> pause -> Concentric

or

2. Concentric -> pause -> Eccentric

#1 is good for working the beginning concentric portion of a range of motion more as you'll have...

Did a light workout on 6/16 that I didn't bother to post.

Today's workout:

High-bar back squats: 185x3x8
Paused front squats: 135x2x6
Dumbbell straight-legged deadlifts: 90s x 2x6

3 sets of 8-12 reps mostly stopping 1-2 reps before failure is fine for a given exercise. You'll need to type out your full training program for feedback regarding if what you are doing is effective...

Back at it today. Did light sets of back squats, front squats, bulgarian split squats, dumbbell straight-legged deadlifts, incline dumbbell bench press, swivel-grip chin-ups, seated rows, and dips....

He did process it much more efficiently, they actually show that in the paper. Further supports anyone who is curious for themselves should get a lipid profile (likely 4 weeks) after establishing a...

Thanks for the tip, I'll add that in. Not disclosing that is a red flag. I need to include this new analysis as well.

There is a concern of hyponatremia, which can be deadly and rarely occurs in marathon runners who are sweating a lot of sodium out and replenishing with a lot of water without electrolytes. I think...

I read through it and the linked editorial. The editorial is quite interesting. It shows that if you take the cohort data (not from the meta-analysis, but from the single study):

1. If you consume...

I grant you the LDL is elevated but it's nowhere near scary high levels that may be expected from >4 grams of cholesterol intake daily. To be honest I don't even know what a "normal" cholesterol is...
