My interview with WebMD. Title is a bit misleading. Muscle development is similar between light vs heavy loads. There's some specificity to strength favoring heavy loads, although the difference narrows when testing on a neutral device-see: PMID: 28834797 https://t.co/IIwYgcI1Gk

RT @JSportsSci: @nick_krontiris Thanks for sharing! The article was written by a stellar team, including @BradSchoenfeld

Our just-pubbed paper led by @gustavofpedrosa showed angle-specific effects of ROM on force production; reinforces the principle of specificity for ROM training 💪 https://t.co/MDz36SqtMp

From my interview with Prevention: “In our study, the workouts were sufficiently hard to challenge the participants’ muscles beyond their present capacity,” says Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D., study co-author. “This is key to making continued muscular gains.” https://t.co/PSsteu4esh

Take-home from my interview with the @nytimes: “You don’t need to necessarily be pushing to failure, but a high level of effort is required over time,” said Brad Schoenfeld, a professor in the exercise science program at Lehman College in New York https://t.co/DKJMzvhLQy

Our minimum-dose study featured in the @washingtonpost. "You need to put in some effort,” Schoenfeld said. But you don’t need to lift until your muscles are completely exhausted to show significant gains in strength and size. https://t.co/9Wz7kj1tpY

Internet claims vs reality. Supplements provide a very small potential benefit to muscle-building. If you’re a bodybuilder or someone looking to optimize muscular potential, then even small benefits may be practically meaningful. For the rest of the population, not so much... https://t.co/9qC6bpXS99

A basic, minimal dose resistance training program is generally all that's needed to achieve sufficient gains for the gen pop. Alternatively, if you're goal is to optimize muscular adaptations, the nuances matter become increasingly important...💪

RT @satvik_93: The dynamic duo of @BradSchoenfeld and @JeffNippard broke down the latest on exercise science in the context of muscle longe…

Honored to have been invited by the Harvard University Aging Initiative to speak this past weekend on a panel with @jeffnippard about resistance training strategies to enhance quality of life across the lifespan. RT is the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth! #gottalift https://t.co/uDlhBEl3nN

Cold water immersion after resistance training impairs muscle development. New study suggests this may be due to a reduction in blood flow to the musculature thus blunting amino acid incorporation into muscle... https://t.co/ktFgqHv1pi

Our new study found training with a single set per exercise elicited appreciable gains in trained lifters, even when training was carried out several reps short of failure. Reinforces that time shouldn't be a barrier to consistent resistance training!💪https://t.co/LfMtq4mq5G https://t.co/nyrMc78vCE

Heard in the gym today: "I don't believe in machines" 🙄

Further evidence that skeletal muscle retains a "memory" during detraining for enhanced muscle growth upon retraining 💪 https://t.co/Nnfp4yXspv

The adductor magnus functions more as a hip extensor than an adductor...? 🤔 https://t.co/zoT7Y1gxeW
