Could disrupting your sleep cycle on weekends sabotage your weight loss efforts? 

Does fish oil supplementation play a significant role in muscle strength gains? 

Can cooling your palms between sets actually boost your reps?

In this episode, we'll explore the latest research studies that explore these intriguing questions.

This podcast is another installment in my Research Review series of episodes, where I give you concise and practical takeaways from studies that I think are interesting and that can help us gain muscle and strength faster, lose fat faster, perform better athletically, feel better, live longer, or get and stay healthier. 

There is a ton of scientific research that gets published every year, and even if you narrow your focus to fitness research, it would still take several lifetimes to unravel the hairball of studies on nutrition, training, supplementation, and related fields. 

That's why my team and I put a lot of time into reviewing, dissecting, and describing scientific studies in articles, podcasts, and books.
