I'm sharing this article with this community hoping to foster some discussion and analysis, because its too dense for me to fully digest in one sitting. But I think there's gold here.
TLDR: This theoretical study postulates that the changes in V̇O2max, CP, and V̇O2 on-kinetics in skeletal muscle induced by long-term endurance training can be caused by an increase in OXPHOS activity and a decrease in the peak Pi, at which exercise is terminated because of exercise intolerance. No such mechanism that unifies the training-induced increase in these muscle bioenergetic behaviors had ..read more

so i’ve been experimenting with my routine lately and have taken an interest to HRR (heart rate recovery)
most of the literature speaks on aerobic (running, steady state type stuff) being the ticket to improving HRR.
my question is: does aerobic training improve anaerobic training in terms of HRR?
I am a power, sprint, burst human by nature and have been measuring my HRR after hill sprints, hill bounding, etc.
i am aware that different movements use different metabolic systems…
but if i played basketball for a living, how would running 3-5 miles at a steady pace improve my ability to fast bre ..read more

We have a sauna at my local gym and I indulge after every workout that I am able to, lets say 3-6 times a week. I have a hard time finding scientific conclusions to whether heat exposure post workout is a benefit or a set back. Watching a video from Renaissance Periodization on reducing soreness, Mike claims methods like cold plunges and heat exposure reduces soreness but also reduces hypertrophy. It leads me to believe the sauna has a negative effect on my hypertrophy. From what I have gathered, the heat decreases inflammation in the muscles, which is needed for hypertrophy. Researching the ..read more

Here is a link to the portion of her talk
She explains the following from this study:
On average, every unit increase in VO2 max is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy.
Life expectancy increases associated with increasing VO2 max:
Going from low => low-normal: 2.1-year
Going from low => high-normal: 2.9-year
Going from low => high: 4.9-year
And some insights from this study
Going from the low 25% group to the elite level (top 2.2%) is associated with an 80% reduction in all-cause mortality
Going from the top 25% group to the elite level gets you an additional 2 ..read more

Olympic weightlifters since, and probably before, Tommy Kono have been performing their deadlifts either snatch of clean style https://www.catalystathletics.com/exercise/176/Clean-Deadlift/ (or olympic style as Tommy refers to it http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2011/03/olympic-style-deadlift-tommy-kono.html) and I have always wondered why it's not more popular amongst the general population given the general fear of back rounding and the fact that the olympic deadlift demands a tight arch throughout. I also thought if it might not be a better lift for bodybuilders since, in my experience - and I ..read more

From my knowledge and research through college, studies, meta analysts, articles and YouTube you can't add new muscle fibers. Also, from what I have learned a greater pennation angle is capable of producing more force because of the fact that a greater angle allows more muscle fibers to contract.
So, if I am increasing my pennation angle of a specific muscle, but not increasing the amount of muscle fibers, how does that greater angle increase force capabilities? Is it simply that the pennation angle needs to move to a higher degree to fit bigger muscle fibers? If that was the case, I would im ..read more
