8,000 middle-aged and older adults found that swapping a half-hour of sitting around with physical activity of any intensity or duration cut the risk of early death by as much as 35 percent #WednesdayWisdom#BeActive https://t.co/CClvKHMYZs
It's been claimed that eating small, frequent meals "stokes the metabolic furnace" by continually taking advantage of the thermic effect of food. Problem is, it's a myth. As shown, the TEF is the same regardless of whether you eat 3 larger meals or 6 smaller meals. Myth debunked
Full text of our paper uploaded to Researchgate. We show lifting very light loads (20% 1RM) is suboptimal for hypertrophy, but training with loads as low as 40% is just as effective as using heavy weights. Suggests a threshold for loading to maximize gainz https://t.co/GNmHM7CdQH
I keep seeing claims that low-load training only promotes "sarcoplasmic hypertrophy." It's nonsense! There's clear evidence that lifting 30% 1RM stimulates substantial MPS. Time to separate science from bro-science and put the myth to rest once and for all https://t.co/5CFOZ3KMUg
As promised, here's my blog post where I break down the findings of our new study on the mind-muscle connection and discuss practical implications for maximizing muscle growth. In this case, it appears the bros were right 💪
