446: Power vs. Strength Training – Which Boosts 1RM More

The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/05/25

You know I am always stressing that the response to any training or diet intervention is very individual and that studies actually show this, but no one ever talks about it, people only talk about the mean or average finding of everyone in the study. Well today’s study looked at baseline strength level and then used that to compare responsiveness to different styles of training – that is – do those with less strength respond differently than those with more strength.

I previously reviewed a study in episode 146 showing that doing band squats prior to max squat attempts can boost your strength and so when I saw another article along these lines showing banded squats prior to sprinting also improved performance I was definitely intrigued and wanted to share.

443: D-Aspartic Acid Lowers Testosterone Levels?!

The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/05/20

D-aspartic acid doesn’t seem to be quite as popular these days, but it has gone through phases where it was the hot new ingredient claimed to boost testosterone levels. I was surprised and wanted to review today’s study when I saw that in some cases it might actually reduce testosterone levels.

When this podcast was newer, I mentioned a few times how I have a few peer reviewed publications, but I never reviewed them on the show oddly enough. So here we go!

I can tell by the download numbers that many of you like the reviews of supplements.

Today we review a new study on the supplement T+ by Onnit Labs. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you may view the free abstract by clicking here:

2015/05/14

As you know if you’re a regular listener of the show I typically review original research articles, but occasionally I do cover reviews of research and we have one of those articles today. Often times the reason I don’t cover reviews is because I was to avoid a potential extra layer of bias in interpreting the research, but reality is most people writing an in depth review of a topic are going to be quite while versed in the content and I think reading a few reviews gives a little bit of checks and

437: Geared vs. Raw Powerlifting – Some Research

The Barbell 1 Show ·

2015/05/12

People argue all the time whether or not raw powerlifters should ever lift in supportive powerlifting gear or knee wraps. Will this prevent them from ever being able PR when lifting raw or will it actually create more overload allowing them to progress their raw lifts faster. I think the questions are still up for debate, but let’s review and discuss a 2012 research study on the topic.

I have been having a middle of the night protein shake since about 2009 so I am always interested in research around bedtime nutrition.
