I dunno rent... lots of new studies and stuff coming about nowadays regarding training, hypertrophy etc The last few years has really seen an increase in interest to the science behind it all and exploring the different methodologies and theories, pathways etc Far more so than the hay days of forum activity, but I do guess you still need your life to revolve around training for that to be of much interest of bother, we can certainly still do fine off the knowledge we had etc but nothing left to learn? no way IMO
I don’t think there’s anything revolutionary in there mate. The studies over the last decade haven’t told me anything I didn’t already know from training consistently over the same period mate tbh.
The main ones being
Volume and frequency is important and as long as it’s balanced you illicit the same response, no surprise there...
And we now know that Macros don’t really matter to body comp when protein is balanced, I think we’d all realised that long ago.
They’re only backing up what we already know aren’t they, it’s nice to have it verified though as you can get caught up in the shitstorm of misinformation in the fitness industry, if you move away from the dogma and over complication that most people revel in then the studies aren’t saying anything new are they?
What do we need to do really?
Nail technique, so you hit the target muscles and don’t jus end up a big set of traps and mediocre biceps with fuck all else developed like most lads.
Progress the weight moved so you grow, sets/reps. Progressive overload.
Stay injury free, so you can train to illicit the response. All technique here.
Eat enough, so you can recover
Use a small amount of gear, so
You don’t die young.
Nobody really needs to do anything other than those imo, there’s nothing else to really know or concern yourself with after that.
It’s just most people neglect the first part and that fucks up the rest for them.
After that Diet is the next biggest downfall for most of us.
Diet and technique, the only parts that require discipline and no cunt wants to bother with either do they..... Surprise, surprise.
They’d rather blast gear and go round in circles for years until they’re too injured or too old to do it anymore.
