Background: Albuterol is a beta-2 agonist that has been demonstrated to increase muscle strength in studies in animals and humans. Based on a pilot study of extended-release albuterol Repetabs in children with dystrophinopathies, the authors conducted a randomized, double-blind...

Melanotan II was initially developed to prevent skin cancer and is known to activate two molecular signaling pathways in the brain. The researchers found that when the drug stimulated the brain’s central melanocortin system, the rat models lost body mass independent of a reduction in caloric...

Yohimbine is an alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist that can release fatty acids(increase lipolysis)from cells via increased noradrenaline levels. It seems to be in almost every “fat burner” on the market, but does it really help with fat loss?? Surprisingly there are not a lot human studies but the...

With gyms closing again in some parts of the world, more people will start training from home. So you may find yourself training with limited equipment and higher repetitions. But can you actually gain muscle while training with higher reps? - The answer is yes! The current literature on rep...

We know you need a calorie deficit for fat loss. But one of the most common reasons people struggle with creating a calorie deficit is that they are consuming more calories without knowing. In today's post, I will discuss a few potential fat loss barriers and practical solutions. - First, we...

We know that we have three unique muscle heads in the triceps. What does this mean for training? - 💥 This study examined multiple groups performing either bench press, triceps extensions, or both for 10-weeks and assessed growth in each triceps head. They found that neither the bench press nor...

IS YOUR VITAMIN D WORKING? – If you printed out every study on vitamin D and taped them all together, end to end, the length of that paper would stretch all the way around Kim Kardashian's fake ass. That's a LOT of studies. And they all say the same thing: most people have a vitamin D...

IGF-1 and muscle mass in older adults--PubMedInsulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Resistance Exercise Study shows Gains in Muscle Mass Arnarson A1, Gudny Geirsdottir O, Ramel A, Jonsson PV, Thorsdottir Abstract BACKGROUND: <abstracttext label="BACKGROUND"...

An ongoing debate in sports sciences is whether cold or heat therapy is more effective for improving recovery. Although the studies we have on the topic are not conclusive, there are a few interesting findings that I would like to share with you. - When it comes to heat therapy, a 2017 study on...

theguerrillachemist Just saw this study a few days ago and thought it was worth sharing. With more focus on preventative health and anti-aging, many people are looking at supplements to increase NAD+ levels. NAD+ is a cofactor to many enzymes, including ones in oxidative phosphorylation and...

When you perform both cardio and strength training in your routine, it is important to consider that cardio can interfere with muscle and strength development [1]. The timing at which you do cardio and strength training helps you minimize this "interference effect". - If we look at the research...

Boron is a non-essential dietary mineral that some have proposed to be a testosterone booster. This proposal has mostly been based off of rodent studies or subject populations of post-menopausal women. Results with other populations are scarce and conflicting so there’s really no conclusive...

Does chewing impact the digestion and absorption of your food? ⁣ ⁣ ⏱Different types of protein can have different digestion speeds, which is an important factor for the muscle protein synthetic response (the muscle growth response). However, protein digestion speed may not only depend on the...

Effect of steroids and exercise on muscle mass and strengthby Public Library of Science The use of anabolic steroids has been observed in essentially all levels of sport – from the high-school football team to professional sports. In professional body building, steroid use is as much part of the...

Even a low dose of testosterone can give athletes a big performance boost – and in a fraction of the time thought necessary, a study initiated by New Scientist has found. The finding will reinforce calls for drug-testing regimes to be radically stepped up. The received wisdom is that...

by Matt Weik I was reading an article the other day about a study in the UK where they are trying to have their government enforce a policy that restaurant menus would need to have calorie labels for each item. Their thought process is that if people are aware of how many calories they are...

Fructose-containing sugars are known to be a target target for their putative role in causing obesity and cardiometabolic disease. However, current studies to support this claim are limited. . Evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of controlled trials has not shown that...

Yes it does matter for "some".. Carrier oils release at different rates, thus this will effect the serum levels of the parenting hormone, however the carrier really has little effect on a scale that you or anyone would even notice aside from its " kinetic profile under clinical...

Unbound (bioavailable) IGF1 enhances somatic growth Understanding insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) biology is of particular importance because, apart from its role in mediating growth, it plays key roles in cellular transformation, organ regeneration, immune function, development of the...
