Thoughts on New Supplement Research?
More of a flag than a question—I came across this new JAMA article on accuracy of supplement labeling (spoiler: it’s not). Not to rehash the issue of the supplement industry’s credibility, but curious if there’s anything we in here that stands out to you guys? The specific info on caffeine and yohimbine caught my eye although that may be old news. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2807343
Recovery
I'm confused on how to balance weight training & how much recovery you need built into your programs (do you judge by your soreness? Do you give a day off then can go back to that muscle group?) I've recently started lifting heavy vs mostly group fitness classes & I'm not sure how to make sure I'm giving my muscles the necessary recovery
When is it beneficial to lower reps?
On the AMA posted June 16th, you briefly talked about how it could be beneficial to lower your reps on certain exercise if you have longer limbs. My limbs are only slightly longer than average so I do not think this applies to me, but I am curious if you could expand on when it is beneficial to drop reps. I feel like I can crush higher weight at 5-8 reps but on the same exercise struggle with higher reps at a lower weight. I just run out of fuel. Thanks! Love you guys!
