💪 New Research Alert: Hamstring Hypertrophy 💪 Exciting new study comparing two popular hamstring exercises: Nordic Hamstring Training (NHT) vs. Lengthened State Eccentric Training (LSET). Which one boosts muscle size and strength more? Let's dive in! 🧵👇 🏋️‍♂️ Methodology:

Muscle and tendon morphology of a world strongman and deadlift champion 🏋️‍♀️💪 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Anatomy of a world strongman and deadlift champion (after 15+ years of resistance training): - Double the leg muscle volume of untrained controls - 32% greater leg muscle volume than elite 100 m sprinters - More than double the quadriceps muscle size of untrained controls -

Scientists discover ‘surprising’ secret to deadlift champ Eddie Hall’s strength irishexaminer.com/world/arid-414…

Former World's Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, paid a visit to campus 💪 Scientists ran a series of strength tests and MRI scans and the findings show that Eddie’s lower-body muscle mass was almost twice (+96%) that of untrained men. Read more ➡️ lboro.uk/3z9uJ8r
