In this recent review paper by @timhavers and across 122 studies, small muscle gains (~2–3%) were associated with ~4% lower fat and modest reductions in HbA1c and fasting glucose. Most human data come from resistance training, while cleaner causal evidence appeared in animal and drug models. Overall, building muscle seems beneficial for body composition and blood sugar, though more research is needed to fully understand the “why.” That said, the takeaway of “just lift” still stands, given the multitude of health benefits even very low doses of lifting can offer by @timhavers

The International Conference on Strength Training is in the books!

Presented our poster on partial range of motion training at long muscle lengths vs. full range of motion training and its effects on elbow flexor hypertrophy in trained individuals.

Takeaway? Do what you prefer — both work! 💪

Liebes Tagebuch,

Manchmal läuft es nicht so wie geplant. Manchmal schon. Beuge war ein mega fail, aber alles andere lief super. Dafür, dass ich so leicht bin wie seit Langem nicht mehr. 83,5kg BW

Squat: 205kg fail. Muss hier Mal an meine Standweite arbeiten. So geht's hier nicht weiter. Ist ja grausam.

Bench: 135kg PR

Deadlift: 235kg PR #hochkrüppeln

Trotzdem bin ich glücklich, dass ich irgendwie Sport, Arbeit und Promotion unter einen Hut bringen kann.
