Post‑Workout Heat Boosts Strength and Hypertrophy Gains
The effects of post-resistance training heat therapy on muscle adaptations 🌡️💪 This new meta-analysis compiled data from 6 studies to establish the effects of post-exercise heat therapy on strength and hypertrophy outcomes 🔍 Here is what they found ⬇️ 🌡️ Two studies used...
Half Marathon 1:50–1:54 Targets Sub‑4 Marathon
“How fast should my half marathon be to run sub-4 for the marathon?” The short answer is between 1:49:30 and 1:54. The long answer comes from numbers I’ve been pulling for a while, and here’s what I’ve been seeing: Recreational runners...
Resistance Training Boosts Strength and Body Composition at Any Age
It's never too late: The impact of resistance training on strength and body composition in females across the lifespan – A systematic review and meta-analysis https://t.co/kZMU3fsQFL https://t.co/WX5rrbenCQ
Micro‑exercise Bursts Boost VO2max and Cardio Fitness
Even what seems like *tiny* movement snacks (e.g. 1 to 5 minutes of exercise, 3 times per day, 3 to 7 days per week) improve cardiorespiratory fitness, including an increase in VO2max: https://t.co/dUh5XTG7vD
Plant‑Based Meal Matches Isolate for Muscle Synthesis
Do complementary plant proteins enhance muscle protein synthesis? 🌱🔍 This new study recruited physically active young adults to consume either… 🍽️ Beans + rice meal (20 g protein, 114 g carbohydrate) (COMP) 🥤 An isolated nutrient drink containing the exact same amino acids,...
Speed and Heart Rate Improve Through Consistent Long‑Term Training
2 running questions I get a lot: - How do I get faster? I want to improve X amount in my marathon. - How do I improve my easy pace, and decrease my heart rate? Usually they’re hoping for a...
Lack of Sleep Limits Athletic Adaptation and Growth
Insufficient sleep reduces the stimulus for various adaptations, which has implications for athletes and bodybuilders. See Patreon for the full article with citations. https://t.co/8zO1rlf9qT
Aging Makes Muscles Resistant to Protein’s Benefits

Ketones Boost Vascular and EPO Responses Post‑Exercise
Ketones enhance vascular function, signalling and EPO responses to exercise and hypoxia 🫀 This new study recruited 15 participants to complete four experimental sessions 🥼 Each session consisted of high-intensity interval training followed by recovery either in… 1️⃣ Normal oxygen levels (normoxia) 2️⃣ Hypoxia...
90-120 Min/Week of Strength Training Is Optimal
What's the right amount of time for resistance training? A new study supports 90-120 minutes/week across multiple outcomes, which plateaus beyond that for lack of additional benefit From 30-year follow-up of ~150,000 participants https://t.co/mUy9o4HkbH https://t.co/T31YKoyMmX
Define Zone 2; Balance Intensity with Volume over Time
Here's what I think... Interesting paper and I agree with several of its conclusions, especially the failure to properly define "zone 2" i.e. when I have conversations with people around "zone 2" we're often using different definitions/ talking about different intensities....
Specific Molecular Switch Drives Resistance‑exercise Muscle Growth
New in Nature Metabolism: a specific molecular switch that turns resistance exercise into muscle growth has finally been mapped -- and it does not flip after endurance work. (1/4)
Tempo Runs: Redefining Effort From Marathon to Half‑marathon Pace
“Tempo” run means different things to different groups. I’ve seen it get used in wildly different ways over the years. I’ve seen some long workouts with “tempo” sections of marathon pace + 45-60” per mile. But we also used to...
Exercise Revives Aging Muscles Through Mitochondrial Remodeling
Mitochondrial remodeling in skeletal muscle underlies exercise-induced reversal of age-associated functional decline in mice and humans "We report that exercise-induced improvements in functional capacity, including reduced frailty in old mice, are dependent on mitochondrial adaptations in skeletal muscle at structural, enzymatic,...
