Cooling Gloves, Cardio Considerations, and Protein in Aging
The Stronger By Science Podcast
The Effects of Two Recovery Methods on Pull Up Performance
A study by bacon and colleagues titled effect of two recovery methods on repeated closed handed and open handed weight assisted pull ups. The cooling group was able to complete more reps across the four sets, about 21 % more than the control group. And then finally, there were two studies by a kuan and colleagues. One was done in males and one was done in females. In both of the studies, a the training protocol, or the testing protocol, was four sets of eight leg press to failure at 85% r m.
Today’s episode begins with an exciting announcement about the forthcoming Black Friday Sale for the MASS Research Review, which extends from November 22 to November 29. After that, Greg shares a Road to the Stage update, and Eric takes a sharp turn onto the Road to Athens. That’s followed by Feats of Strength, and a Tech Support segment sharing MacroFactor reminders and updates related to the knowledge base, food database expansion, and the new public roadmap. Next, Greg provides an in-depth review of the literature related to cooling gloves and performance, and Eric gives some contextualized clarifications about low-calorie diets, age-related protein considerations, and positive aspects of cardio. Finally, Greg answers some listener questions, and Eric closes out the show by issuing a sobering warning about the grave consequences of Fat Bear Week.
