For hypertrophy- focused lifters, the joint first argument is most defensible as a longevity play- not that it builds more muscle, but that it keeps you training consistently without interruption from overuse injuries, which compounding over years matters enormously.

@RavensLandingID You're thinking about forced reps, where you get assisted during the concentric and slow down the eccentric.
Dropsets involve training to failure, lowering the weight, then going to failure again.
Both are next to useless for hypertrophy.
Generic Ozempic is finally here- and it could cost just $40/month. With the patent expiring today..affordable versions are hitting the market globally. An even more powerful drug, Retatrutide, is also on the way with nearly double the weight loss effect. But remember- no drug replaces lifting weights and eating enough protein.
@ls39767284@DrSuneelDhand I’d imagine a big part of it is multiple specialists prescribing independently, each following guidelines for their condition, but without a single physician stepping back to review the whole medication list.
Interesting papers. But the AJCN study had only 8 participants and focused on exercise- induced gut permeability, not general ‘leaky gut.’ The MDPI paper is mostly mechanistic and uses zinc gluconate..not zinc carnosine. So the evidence is interesting, but far from strong clinical proof.
