2015/08/19

So now that we have more research that tells us lifting lighter weights can still be good for muscle size gains assuming we accumulate enough volume it’s always good to test some of the theories behind why the light training may have benefit. Some would say maybe it is because taking a light set all the way to fatigue may recruit all possible muscle fibers – slow twitch for a while and then finally fast twtitch until the muscle is completely exhausted – but is this just a theory or is there actually

2015/08/17

When I was in grad school studying sports nutrition most people talked about the importance of post-workout carbs and protein in terms of actual physical muscle recovery from exercise. However, we also learned that the immune system is compromised after exercise for a brief period – basically while the body gets its bearings back. Are there any supplements we would take to prevent this or bounce back faster? We review a possible option. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you may

2015/08/10

Personal trainers used to have the job of counting reps, but these days I see more and more counting total time spent training. Is this a valid way to have clients exercise – timing set length and stopping when a certain time count is reached? Let’s examine a study.

2015/07/29

Because dieting bodybuilders and strength athletes have such high physical performance demands, the implementation of high carb days, cheat days, reefed days, whatever you want to call them seems to make a lot of sense. While these tactics are employed to promote performance and a mental break, there’s always debate that remains if adding calories or carbs briefly amidst a general decline in intake when dieting also does some special things physiologically – does it really prevent weight loss

There always appears to be disagreement and arguments amongst bodybuilders and the like over if you should do slow controlled movement to really contract a muscle you’re trying to grow or instead say do more explosive concentric reps to get some added power or performance benefits from your training. Would doing these faster concentric make muscle sise gains suboptimal compared to a more controlled technique? We go all the way back to 1993 today to look at what research tells us.
