6x1 Min HIIT Before Lifting Shed Extra Fat, Don't Impair 'ur Gainz | Daily AM/PM Training = ZERO Gainz | Alcohol W/Out Acute Effect on Workout Recovery of Trained Women

Written by | published on

While alcohol doesn't impair the regeneration and doing HIIT before weights leaves women's gains unchanged while potentially boosting their fat loss, training twice a day, every day appears to be a good idea only for those who are afraid that they could become "too muscular". Not every study is worth being discussed at length in an article of its own. This is why I've come up with the "Short News" or "Research Updates" - articles like the one at hand in which I address 3-5 studies very briefly. Mostly to give you an idea of the results and make sure that you can say "Yo, I've read about that study, bro" at the gym, when someone tells you: "You know, man, there's that new study showing that alcohol does not exacerbate the inflammatory response to exercise, bro!" Ok, that was a joke. I hope your real reason to read the following elaborations is to make sure that the way you train is in line with what works accord...

Double Your Muscle, Maximize Your Endurance Gains: Train in the PM, not the AM, and Do Your Cardio Before Weights

Written by | published on

Both, time and exercise order matter - at least when untrained subjects have trained for at least 12 weeks. The debate about whether you should (a) do cardio and weights together and (b) whether you shall do either or both in the AM or PM for maximal muscle anabolism is older than the SuppVersity  and has thus been addressed in many of the hitherto published approx. 2300 articles on suppversity.com. The reason you should still read today's article, however, is that the approach to the topic is a bit different than usual, so that the study, which certainly leaves much to be desired (more on that in the bottom line ), adds more practically relevant (which you cannot say about studies measuring the testosterone : cortisol ratio, for example) data. AM or PM, you got to make sure you slept / sleep enough & well before or after workouts Sunlight, Bluelight, Backlight and Your Clock Sunlight a La Carte: "Hack" Your Rhythm Breaking the Fast to Synchronize ...

It's the Same (!) Time of the Day That Matters, If You Want to Excel - No Matter if You're in a Training or Detraining Phase

If you have a competition in the AM and usually train in the PM it may make sense to change your training schedule in the weeks leading up to the event. Alright, in previous SuppVersity training I've already discussed that it's pointless to try and train at maximal volumes and intensities on 365 days a year and 90+ years a life. In addition it's often simply mandatory that you take some time completely off the gym. That may be hard for some, but we know from previous studies that this does not mean that you will have to start anew when you're back on the grind... well, at least if this "being back on the grind" doesn't happen after months of doing nothing. In a very recent study, scientists from the  Sfax University , the Hellenic Army Academy, and other institutes and universities tried to determine, once again, how long it will take until the performance decrements become so relevant that they've eaten up all your gains (Chtourou. 2015). You...
