Replacing CHO W/ Protein Won't Impair Glycogen Resyn-thesis | Plus: RT+HIIT & Satellite Cells; BFR & Recovery

Written by | published on

If that's what your PWO meal looks like, you're doing it right. I am sorry it took me so long to complete the follow-up to last week's article about the latest "recovery science" - my real job took a toll... in fact, I still have to hurry and will, therefore, skip a lengthy introduction that won't add to the educative value of today's article, anyway... the only thing I would like to say in advance is: I am going to do my best to decrease the interval between SuppVersity  articles again. Maybe it will comfort you to hear that there are five studies in today's research update - five studies that are not all directly related to exercise recovery and yet still practically relevant for your training and nutrition planning (see "What's the practical implication?" at the end of each bullet-point if you want to read only the gist(s)).

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...

Hitting it After Weights - Nothing but Benefits? Not Exactly, but Systemically Impaired Strength & Size Gains are a Myth

Written by | published on

Has your cardio-addiction held you back in the past? That does not mean that a short HIIT training after an RT workout will do the same, does it? Right from the  University of Athens  comes new paper by Tsitkanou et al. (2016). In their study the Greek scientists investigated whether high-intensity interval cycling performed immediately after resistance training would inhibit muscle hypertrophy and strength improvements induced by resistance training per se. Based upon previous studies utilizing low-intensity cycling as well as acute studies investigating molecular pathways it was hypothesized that high-intensity interval cycling performed immediately after resistance training would not hinder muscle strength and hypertrophy but would negatively affect the rate of force development. So, no effect on muscle but on strength gains. You can learn more about the optimal exercise order at the SuppVersity What's the Right Training 4 You? Hypertrophy Blueprints ...

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 ...

Study Quantifies Disadvantage of Doing Cardio & Weights on the Same Day: Your Fat Loss May Stall Completely

Written by | published on

Weight training on separate days!? In "bottom lines" of SuppVersity  articles you've repeatedly read that "in spite of the promising results of the study at hand, I would still suggest that you do your cardio and resistance training on separate days if that's possible". That's a conclusion nobody ever questioned - and that in spite of the fact that the effects of splitting strength (S) and endurance (E) training onto different days on body composition in the long term have not even been investigated, yet. The aim of a recent study by Eklund, et al. (2016) was thus the first to investigate possible differences in body fat and lean mass, blood lipid levels and physical fitness profile following 24 weeks of volume-equated different-day and same-session combined strength and endurance training in previously untrained healthy men and women. You can learn more about the optimal exercise order at the SuppVersity What's the Right Training 4 Y...
