Are these two separate questions?
Oh, probably should have elaborated, but there were videos going around recently where someone YouTube guys did a study on full ROM vs lengthened partials. Each person in the study lifted using full ROM with one arm and lengthened partials with the other, then they measured the difference in muscle size after like 8 weeks.
So, no specific question on that, was just thinking a strength training vs hypertrophy training study would almost need something like that where the same person is trying both (but then of course you get into systemic fatigue and of course compound movements where you can't exactly split your body in half).
Mostly just curious if any long term studies have been done where the outcome is "they gained 5% more mass training for hypertrophy" or whatever. [Reply]

It's obviously something that you have to be careful of because you don't want it to affect your mental state too much. But if you can harness that anger in a positive way w weight lifting it can help. [Reply]

There's a top level strongman that's like that. Evan Singleton. He gets so amped up he'll miss a lift that is well within his capability. [Reply]

That's not what I am talking about. Like I said using it the right way is key. [Reply]

That is an incredible resting heart beat. I don't even really know what mine is because it's so easy for it to fluctuate anytime you move. If I wear my watch when I sleep it will say it's in the 40's for sure but most of the time when I'm just sitting around I am 49-59.
This zone 2 training stuff appears to be very helpful and I bet I'm still running in zone 3 too much. I need to go to some place that will do my lactate threshold stuff and calculate my heart zones for me so I don't overtrain. That was my biggest issue when I started. Just need to run a ton of miles easy mainly so you don't get injured.
How many miles a week do you run? I'm going to work up to 20 and then get to 40 during the winter and really see how well I can do. The thing I like about running is I can absolutely suck at it but if I just put in the miles I will just beat people that don't run as often that are more talented lol
This past year, I have averaged about 33 miles a week, down from the 40+ I averaged each of the previous three years. I think my resting heart rate is so low because I had been so heavy before, so now my heart thinks it has an easy job.😂 [Reply]
