    I think the science of it digesting slower is pretty certain, but as for direct evidence that it will actually lead to better gains than other protein sources, that’s more hazy. Human nutrition studies are a pain to control.

    In the grand scheme, any benefit it could confer is really tiny compared to total daily protein intake and protein quality.

    I wasn't saying it wasn't a slower digesting protein. More just talking about the benefits over and above a cheaper protein, such as whey, when taken at night.

    Also, I just saw that my phone corrected 'leucine' to 'medicine'. Ffs.

    Interesting write up of a new study on intermittent fasting published in JAMA Internal Med

    NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/28/well/eat/a-potential-downside-of-intermittent-fasting.html?surface=most-popular&fellback=false&req_id=379594767&algo=bandit-all-surfaces&imp_id=878349551&action=click&module=Most%20Popular&pgtype=Homepage

    JAMA: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2771095?guestAccessKey=444bbcb2-7e13-4dc6-998f-5de5e27aa19e&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=092820

    Question What is the effect of time-restricted eating on weight loss and metabolic health in patients with overweight and obesity?

    Findings In this prospective randomized clinical trial that included 116 adults with overweight or obesity, time-restricted eating was associated with a modest decrease (1.17%) in weight that was not significantly different from the decrease in the control group (0.75%).

    Meaning Time-restricted eating did not confer weight loss or cardiometabolic benefits in this study.

    Which is exactly for most people have said for years.
    It's an effective means to cut calories. Not some way of bending physics.

    This may be of interest to some. Some very good reading in here.

    https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN30714-FM_7-22-000-WEB-1.pdf

    The chapters on Sleep, and chapter 5, Periodization, talking about training cycles and programming are particular highlights

    Did anyone else's gym become full of teenage girls with fake tan and huge eyelashes recently? They all seem to try and do squats etc without ever really looking like they know what they're doing.

    Probably saw their favourite influencer doing them in order to 'tone and sculpt'.

    In fairness though, last part in bold describes majority of people in the gym.

    Last part was certainly me for a long time after I started going to the gym.

    You should see what he does with 435kg (second lift) here.


    Has the decency to be a bit slower with 447kg. A bit...

    We'll find out in a few years, I guess.

    Dunno about Shane, but loads of huge powerlifters/strongmen intentionally lose weight after they retire. You have the likes of Mark Bell who used to be a massive SHW that competed in bodybuilding last year. Eddie Hall has lost a ton of weight since winning WSM. Big Z still competes but lost a good bit of weight a while back too.

    Eating for performance.

    Lasha won't hit a 500kg total if he starts cutting weight.

    And hitting 500kg is likely a lot more important than long-term helf.

    It's probably more a case of no longer actively training, eating all around them and juicing in order to be huge. Look at Dorian Yates these days

    Probably not. Steroids likely don't help either.

    High level athletes have always prioritised performance over health though.

    You've got to be kidding me.. I stubbed my toe yesterday of the couch and woke up this morning with a black and blue little toe. X-ray shows it's fractured.

    Can put on socks and runners grand and hobble around so don't care much but I was doing so well with my deadlifts. And I was meant to go do them today.

    A couch like. Wtf.

    Can you definitely not do anything? Did a number on my little toe maybe 2 years ago and it was reasonably ok on deadlifts. Sorer on squats though

    Maybe. I'll go the gym on Thursday for a chest day and test how the foot feels with bumper plates.

    Hoping I can continue with the progress I was making. I hurt my knee last year and couldn't do DL and it killed my motivation.

    Can anyone tell me... Are all those rubber hex dumbbells sold by all these different companies actually basically the same item?

    Has anyone ever noticed a difference in the type of hex dumbbells I'm talking about from different companies?

    Not sure what difference bumpers will make.

    If you can, deadlift in your socks so that when the toes spread, it's not being pushed against a shoe so it won't be as bad.

    I just meant that I didn't want to use 20kg plates off the bat as a tester and I need the height from the bumper plates.

    Yeah could try just socks. It's a Viet gym. Some guys do their entire workouts barefoot. Thanks for the tip.

    I think a mod needs to clean this thread up - no talk of people accessing gyms please, should be banned atm tbh :P:P:P

    Or spoiler tags at least so we can all brace ourselves for the tears and wailing.

    Can't say I've ever noticed a difference in any of them. Maybe the degree of fatness of the middle of the handle but that's very minor

    This guy annoys me, imagine how much he could lift if he Eddie Halled it and spent 18 months ballooning up to 400 lb. Sure sleeping and moving and travel and breathing and living might be hard but could break the world record.

    Apart from showing off, I really don't see the point. But it would look pretty cool if you got it right.
