Something I've challenged force plate users on for CMJ & monitoring 'neuro'muscular fatigue. They dont measure specific neural properties just global mechanical output. may not be sensitive to detect specific types of neural fatigue. Nice Jared Fletcher link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Said it before, I'll say it again. We dont 'surf the F-V' curve. This oversimplification comes from not appreciating in vivo muscle-tendon interactions during different activities. U actually surf the load-velocity curve. Nice the strength report

Thanks Juan Samudio for the invite onto the Plain Gains Podcast. Bit of a convo around mechanical tension, lengthened partials, training to failure etc. Hope its of interest and reach out if you've any questions.


Happy to see our review published in Experimental Physiology on isometric training at longer muscle-tendon complex lengths as a potential countermeasure during 🚀 to Mars 🏋♂️💪👨🚀 🙏 to Hans Degens & Andy Sanderson for collab Manchester Met Institute of Sport School of Sport & Exercise Science physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…




Just pubbed! Our new study showed that a descending RIR (4-3-2-1) over 10 weeks elicited similar CSA to using a 1-RIR each session. Suggests periods of intense training may be sufficient to optimize hypertrophy. Kudos to Biology of Physical Activity for spearheading link.springer.com/article/10.100…
