Everyone knows creatine provides immense benefits for strength and performance.

However, there is still a lot of misunderstanding about CREATINE.

Here are 9 FACTS you should know about CREATINE:

One of my all-time favorite podcast interviews where I covered a wide range of fitness-related topics. Rhonda @foundmyfitness is a such a skilled interviewer. Almost 1 million views! https://t.co/uMA7BJK0Dl

This is abuse, assault, unethical!
Surely something can be done about this? I can barely watch

I feel kinda guilty for giggling when I saw this 😅

While an argument could be made for diminishing longevity returns beyond a certain amount of exercise per week, one should also keep in mind the functional implications of being more fit.

The difference between maintaining a VO2max of 35ml/kg/min vs 25ml/kg/min in your 70's is the difference between still being able to run 6mph and being completely at your max walking up a hill.

The more compromised fitness becomes, the more small differences matter.

Spent the last month reading through peter attia’s and Howard Luk’s book on living a longer life but in good health (or longevity)

They were super insightful and interesting!

Any other books that those in this space would recommend?

Would love to give it a read.

@GregLehman Better off just doing a cross body arm stretch with internal rotation lol

Many commit this fallacy.

it’s easy to dismiss opinions contrary to your opinion, even when it is in-fact, evidence based.

Being aware of this cognitive bias allows you to think more critically.

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” is one of the most powerful fallacies of human logic.

It also features prominently in both alternative medicine and anti-vaccine beliefs.

@lindy_lou_j Wow I made the list 😂 Appreciate you @lindy_lou_j ! Surprised since I have been inactive on Twitter lately.

Have been quite busy IRL and haven’t had the time to share on social media.

Good to see that you’re still sharing, its a breath of fresh air amidst all the mess

Acupuncture is placebo theater.

It lacks scientific plausibility.

People recover from health conditions for many reasons other than the purported specific effects of treatments.

No amount of mental gymnastics can justify the magical thinking of meridians.

Very interesting and rubust data showing metabolic factors negatively affecting treatment outcomes in patients with Achilles tendinopathy. @kgSilbernagel

Skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise

Aerobic
- Angiogenesis:⤴️oxygen extraction
- Mitochondrial dynamics:⤴️energy efficiency

Resistance
- Ribosome biogenesis: msucle fibre hypertrophy
- Satellite cell activation: msucle fibre hypertrophy

The notion of 'bad' movement fails to acknowledge the complex, highly variable, spontaneous human and the unpredictable environments they live in!

Attempts to classify so called movement dYsFuNcTiOnS are reductionist, unreliable, inaccurate and a step in the WRONG direction!

Yes, debunking can, if done well, make a significant difference.

Let's work together to constructively counter misinformation & misrepresentations of science.

This fits my bias 🤣

You mean I’d get better skin just from exercise alone?

Why aren’t more people doing it?

[Jozo Grgic @Jozo_Grgic]

The benefits of exercise are really incredible

This study found that both aerobic and resistance exercise rejuvenates aging skin

Both interventions improved skin elasticity and upper dermal structure

Resistance exercise also improved dermal thickness
