New study shows leaning back in the leg extension (40 degrees hip extension) elicits markedly greater growth in the rectus femoris compared to a typical 90-degree hip angle

2. Exercise daily.
Ideally, as soon as you wake up.
Movement kickstarts your body and mind, upgrades your cellular metabolic function, improves insulin and cortisol utilization, and helps regulate melatonin and cortisol rhythms. This will lead to more deep and REM sleep phases.
This might be the most insane video on ice baths I’ve ever debunked holy shit 😆
@king_azoulay claims ice water removes 1600 kcals in 3 minutes he also claims it increases metabolism by 350%! HOLD UP… if you are going to make shit up, at least check your f***ing math first! 😂
Fortunately I CAN DO MATH. Let’s say he’s got a very fast BMR (he said metabolism not energy expenditure so that’s BMR). My BMR is 1900 so let’s say this dude is 2500/day. (Total energy expenditure depends on activity… but remember he said METABOLISM). Let’s jack that up by 350%
2500 x 3.5 = 8750 kcal/day. Since there are 1440 minutes in a day (24 hrs x 60 min/hr = 1440) 3 minutes equates to 0.21% of the day. So 8750 x 0.0021 (convert from % to actual raw number you divide by 100 kiddos) = 18.4 kcals burned in 3 minutes. NOT 1600. Even if he was f***ing Michael Phelps and claimed to burn 10k kcals per day. 10,000 x 3.5 = 35000 x 0.0021 = 74 calories 😂😂😂
The reality is most studies do not show increased energy expenditure with cold water immersion & those that do had people stay just above their shivering point for HOURS & they burned about 190 extra kcals at BEST for being NEAR THEIR SHIVERING POINT FOR HOURS (PMID: 35837014) and no studies have shown increased loss of body fat (PMID: 7068314)
Also cold water does NOT increase testosterone (PMID: 19211945). In fact it actually REDUCES exercise induced increases in testosterone (PMIDs: 31222379 & 1890772)
Cold water actually IMPAIRS muscle gain and strength gain (PMIDs: 35068365 & 31513450)
So how did this guy get so jacked? Must’ve borrowed some of Captain America’s super serum 🤷🏼♂️
Your favorite influencers’ nightmare is me & facts… they can all come get it
