Pre-print is up! Cold water immersion inhibits muscle development when applied immediately after resistance training on a regular basis. Kudos to my master's degree student Alec Pinero for spearheading 💪 sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

The majority of gainz can be achieved with a fairly basic, minimalistic training program. On the other hand, substantially more time, effort and knowledge are required to optimize your muscle-building potential 💪🏽

Genetics matter. That said, virtually everyone has the ability to substantially improve their muscularity with proper training, consistency and determination. And if you weren't blessed with the best genetics, the more important it is to take a scientific approach to training 💪

None of these exercises will build any noticeable muscle mass at all. Not even close to enough tension. They will burn some calories and improve endurance though.

I generally don't call out specific people for making blatantly false claims, but this video has almost 1 million views so it's evidently impressionable. So for the record, there is no evidence that soy protein will feminize men. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… youtube.com/watch?v=O8qAjp3x…

If I could give two pieces of advice to people with new year's resolutions related to fitness or weight loss, they would be: 1) focus on process over outcome 2) learn to embrace "good enough." 🧵🧵🧵

The strength of the evidence for a study result depends notably on this result’s 𝘱-value. Our page on 𝘱-values is simple enough for laymen *and* accurate enough for the stickler biostatisticians among you. 🧐📈 Impossible? Well, see for yourself: examine.news/tw220628

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

Nice meta by @TLexercise and co showing concurrent training negatively influences muscle fiber hypertrophy, particularly in type 1 fibers. Logically this will be volume dependent; above a certain volume for a given individual, there will be interference link.springer.com/article/10…

The EBM acknowledges that quality and composition of the diet and the food environment are important in the prevention and treatment of obesity and explains why “eat less and move more” is ineffective advice.
