You don’t need to pay for a DEXA scan to figure out your body fat %. Just look in the mirror and follow this legendary chart from @TheAlanAragon. Your goal should be 10-15% for metabolic health, ladies add around 10% to these numbers.

Here’s an idea for your lab, @JeffNippard: The marketers of EAA will try to convince you that 25g/day is the anabolic equivalent of 125g protein. Okay cool, I’d LOVE to see an isocaloric comparison in resistance trainees on changes in body comp. I’d bet on the 125g protein group.

Yet another study showing similar whole muscle hypertrophy when training with heavy vs light loads. The evidence is overwhelming. May be a benefit to varying rep ranges for optimal results; for the gen pop likely doesn't make a meaningful difference 💪 https://t.co/j70oznRX6U
