Honored to be presenting at the "Inter-Individual Variation in Resistance Training Responses" conference in Finland this November alongside some of the world's leading hypertrophy researchers 💪.

Yet another study showing no hypertrophic differences from heavier (10RM) vs lighter (20RM) loads. Evidence on the topic is now overwhelming. This study showed higher reps promoted better oxygen utilization; perhaps benefit to combining rep ranges?

Gain muscle to lose fat? "This analysis reveals that a 1.9–3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with 4.1 ± 5.8% lower fat mass." Great work by @HeWaHippo and co with important health implications.

Contrary to what I'd expected, our new study showed similar muscle gains in the middle delt with the use of DBs vs cable lateral raises. Kudos to @StianLa07849895 for spearheading 💪.

A truly terrific read by @GregNuckols that not only takes a deep dive into the research about the relationship between RT volume and hypertrophy, but more importantly about how to take an evidence-based approach to fitness prescription.

“. resistance training is one of the most important interventions you can do for overall health and wellness,” said Schoenfeld. “It positively affects virtually every organ system and is key to preventing a loss of physical independence as we age.”

The closest thing we have to the fountain of youth 💪. "Older adults who engage in regular resistance training can maintain physical function levels similar to that of younger adults.".

If they can make a cookies-and-cream version I'd give it a try 😃.

Our new study showed that pre-exhaust training slightly impaired lower body muscle development in resistance trained individuals. Pre-print available for all to read.

Our just-pubbed review, led by @KonstantinW92, overviews the role of stretching to promote hypertrophy and its potential implications for applied program design across various populations.

". with adequately chosen load criteria such as training intensity, volume and duration of the training period, the selection of the appropriate resistance training type might depend on individual preference, enjoyability and practicability." .

". while aerobic activities remain essential, the next generation of physical activity guidelines should place greater emphasis on the particular importance of RT.". Amen!.

Our new study now in preprint suggests that a specific warm up may not be necessary when training with medium-high rep ranges. Conceivably, the initial reps serve as a "warm up". Eschewing the specific warm up could be a time-saving strategy for RT 💪.

The title says it all. Periodizing training around the menstrual cycle is not supported by current research. Adjustments can be made to program variables based on symptoms that may occur throughout the cycle if/when warranted.

Congrats to my master’s student, Chris Parnell, for defending his thesis proposal. Data collection to start in the Fall. Excited to see how this plays out. 💪🏽
