Sharing this again, as I've messed up the original thread. 🚨Changes in V̇O₂max following training prescribed relative to traditional anchors and physiological thresholds. A meta-analysis of individual data. 🚨 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Prepint posted: Our new study investigated whether training to failure is necessary for muscular adaptations in single-set training (9 total exercises for the upper and lower body per session) twice weekly. Some novel and important findings (1/4) sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Even trained lifters can make muscle gains WITHOUT: ❌Training to failure ❌Using multiple sets ❌Spending hours in the gym ❌Training most days of the week New study from Brad Schoenfeld, PhD and co. showing young trained men and women had similar muscle adaptations over 8 weeks

Our new study, now in preprint, showed dumbbell and cable lateral raises elicit similar hypertrophy in the middle deltoid in trained men and women over 8 wks. Both modes appear to be viable options. Kudos to Dr. Stian Larsen for spearheading the project💪 sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

New study on "cheat reps". Results showed that during single-joint RT of the upper limbs, use of external momentum neither helped nor hindered hypertrophy of the target muscles in untrained lifters. Implications and limitations discussed in the paper💪 sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Our new study just preprinted indicates that a knee flexion angle of ~90-100 degrees is sufficient to optimize muscle growth of the quads; higher ROMs do not seem to promote additional gainz 💪 sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

How important is "proper" resistance training technique for muscle hypertrophy? Our just-pubbed study provides some answers. Huge congrats to my master's student, Francesca Augustin, for spearheading the study in completion of her thesis digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/vol18/iss…

If you are truly interested in developing women’s sport through research then this one is for you. Thanks to an all star cast for articulating the importance of taking a high quality approach to produce findings we have confidence in. search.app/g8HoEJe1wTUXRN…

Our new study shows that quad hypertrophy is similar at a ROM of 100 degrees vs full ROM in the leg press. We didn't assess other muscles (glutes, adductors, etc), which have been shown to benefit from full ROM. Kudos to Dr. Stian Larsen for spearheading. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In our new study we observed that quadriceps femoris hypertrophy was similar between full ROM and 100 degrees ROM in the leg press. We didn't measure growth in the hip extensors, which have been observed to increase growth from full ROM training 💪Link:tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our new study found training with a single set per exercise elicited appreciable gains in trained lifters, even when training was carried out several reps short of failure. Reinforces that time shouldn't be a barrier to consistent resistance training!💪pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40249908/

🚨 New preprint! DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) help researchers make their causal assumptions explicit and choose the right variables to adjust for. But how are DAGs being used in physical activity & nutrition research? 📄 See our new preprint here: sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Our new study now in preprint suggests that a specific warm up may not be necessary when training with medium-high rep ranges. Conceivably, the initial reps serve as a "warm up". Eschewing the specific warm up could be a time-saving strategy for RT 💪 sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…
