Congratulations to @MarcusDasa on successfully defending his PhD thesis! Fresh doc🤙🏽

10-11g/kg CHO intake yesterday on the TT day +3g/kg breakfast this morning to prepare for today’s monster stage 17 @LeTour. Riders fuelled ~100-130g/h on the bike. Currently midway thru 4.5-5g/kg recovery 🍬 🥤 🍝 on the bus ⛽️ 🚀 #glycogen

Deload (one week off) = strength ⬇️ compared with traditional training!

[Brad Schoenfeld, PhD @BradSchoenfeld]

Really excited about this one! Preprint of our study on the effects of deloading (employed as a week of detraining) on muscular adaptations; the first to investigate the topic in an ecologically valid manner. Results were contrary to our hypothesis.

Probably an protocol of ∼10-12 min, at ∼10° 🌡️will be optimal. This may enhance muscular power following high-intensity exercise, or eccentic exercise (Moore et al., 2022)

Recovery strategies popular on MD, MD+1. Cold Water immersion ✅ for DOMS, perceived fatigue/recovery and mitochondrial molecular signalling. ⬇️ signalling for hypertrophy💪 @wcsf2023

𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 🙌

Andreas Leknessund is the first Norwegian in 42 years to lead the Giro d'Italia 🇳🇴

And after suffering the loss of someone close to him in the lead-up to the race, the emotions are 𝙧𝙖𝙬 😭

Good colleague and friend @KimAHeitmann has started his trial lecture during his PhD defence! Steady as a rock this guy👏🤝https://t.co/ywKg9ku8VA

@skaugm Viktige tiltak er hvile og kost. Hvis de som spiller full kamp ligger på et høyt karbohydratinntak (6-9g karbohydrat * kg kroppsvekt per dag) kombinert med redusert treningsvolum vil dette gjøre at glykogenlagrene er tilbake på baseline verdier ila +72 timer.

[Sigurd Pedersen @Pederseca]

@skaugm Det ser ut som at mål på muskelskade (kreatin kinase, myoglobin) og rapportert muskelverk er elevert til og med på 72 timer etter kamp, sammen med en reduksjon i spenst og hamstringstyrke (Silva et al., 2017) https://t.co/rhb6AJGsHT

[Biology of Sport @BiolSport]

⚽️Worth reading: The programming of > 95% MSS exposures at D-2 may help mitigate match hamstring injury occurrences in elite #football.

One way to lift more weight in the gym?

Get a spotter!

Just having a spotter present (they didn't actually help lift the weight):

⬆️ total weight lifted
⬆️ total reps over 3 sets

⬆️ self-efficacy
