    Thank you for your comments. If you are reading this I'd love to know if you liked that we added information about the other different types of muscle tissue, or if you would have rather us just get into the skeletal muscle only. Thanks!

      I like to know more about sourness after a workout. Why it happens, what does it mean, is it good or bad. Why it goes away faster if you workout or stretch after a day of rest but gets worse in 2nd or 3rd day if you don't workout at all.

    I am 62 and have lifted weights since I was 15 yrs old....over the yrs, I did all kinds of weights, heavy, light, more reps, less reps and today i am on a high rep/not so high weight with all my workouts...I call this semi intense, muscle endurance exercising...my sets are hardly any rest between them and I do a whole body workout at one time....while I don't have the mass of my 30 year old self, I still have definition and I am strong for my age...I found that over the years, although my muscles got strong, it wreaked havoc on the joints in my body so therefore I am lighter weight, higher reps person for the rest of my life....there really is no need for me to throw 225 pounds on my back and squat 12 times at my age...I can do just about anything I want athletically and aren't sore for 2 days after I work out like before...I call it muscle maintaining more than anything...I was waiting for a video like this, Thanks Jonathan

      I've always been a strength guy. Where people go wrong is they lift heavy too often and don't let their joints recover. I may only lift heavy once every 10-17 days. I do a lot of cardio or sport specific stuff in between and throw in a lower weight workout in between that might be closer to bodybuilders

      and even the puffy softer looking blown up sorta muscles help with work capacity strength endurance and not getting injured or gassing out with physical day to day tasks.
      so actually its polar opposite you wanna try keep as strong (neurally brain wise) and as muscular (as its both helps maximise strength ceiling where can more safely express strength... and increases work capacity in turn fitness in turn quality of lived life) as long as possible, eventually your decline get weaker less smart iq decline marbles go power outputs reflexes go etc etc

      only real negative that could think with more muscle on frame is more calories needed to maintain higher turn over metabolism more chance cancer, and your kinda burning the candle at both ends so may especially if man genetically have lotta testosterone human growth hormone male hormones etc may die younger but your be fitter more able bodied for longer stretch of it and sharper minded...
      also people that exercise alot... tend to have addictive personalities overdo the exercise die heart disease and things cause struggle to moderate put foot on the breaks as lots are chasing feelings a rush of some sort, they also athletes actually drink more regularly and heavily than average person and gamble more.

    Been going to the gym for 20 years (natural), at my peak, i was 92kg with less than 10% body fat and was comfortably pressing 50kg dumbbells for 12+reps....but it isn't sustainable. I was up at 4am and in the gym 1.5hrs a day, 6 days a week
    I was in constant pain in my joints, was taking pain killers to sleep and if i moved quickly I would get shooting pains, but always wanted to try and get bigger and stronger so thought I would just live with the pain.
    Since I became a father I realised I needed to take the ego out of it and look at a better way of doing it. Especially being a dad took priority and don't have half as much free time, I needed a different approach.
    Im now testing the "Mike Mentzer routine" of less time and weight, but more slow control and intensity.
    I've not tested it long enough to really rate it, and obviously I've lost a bit of muscle with not living in the gym (and also age) but I still get muscle pump and fatigue etc...but just realised the other day, I've got no more pain! No more pain pills, I'm also able to move easier and play with my little boy more. So I think I'm done with the heavy ego lifting 🙃

      I believe as long as you control the eccentric contraction that is the best way to stimulate muscle, based on studies but I cannot remember the name of the article. It basically stated that the concentric must be explosive in nature and eccentric controlled - the more controlled and slower stretch you give the muscle on eccentric the better results you should see in terms of strength gain/maintenance and hypertrophy

      @@christophegroulx7816 that can't be right and sounds like ego-lifting. Mike Mentzer himself preached that the muscle only starts GROWING after it's done RECOVERING. if you're in pain all the time you're never fully recovered and therefore you cannot be growing either. he was also concerned with systemic fatigue. proper rest is when the whole body rests. if you're training legs on monday and arms on tuesday you don't count tuesday as a rest day for your legs. you're still fatiguing your body so growth (in the whole body) is being delayed by that. these are all claims by Mentzer, I am merely repeating them.

    All my exercises are 5 sets, 30s rest between sets, 1s positive, 3s negative per rep. TUT and rest periods are precise as I listen to a metronome at 60bpm (ticking every sec), which also helps maintain perfect form. It also means all my exercises are repeatable so I can track progress in the knowledge I'm not cheating (for example speeding up the reps and not making true progress). Although my rep ranges are in the hypertrophy range, the short rest period and TUT tune my exercises more towards endurance. It works for me, I never get injuries, joint pain etc. I'm addicted to perfecting the exercises and making progress, and not ego lifting and packing on muscle and the risks associated with it. Everyone's different. All that matters is what you are interested in and what motivates you.

    Just remember that IRESTORE doesn't block the production of 5-alpha reductase and thereby stop the conversion of DHT. Just like minoxidil, an LLT-cap will promote blood circulation and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicles. You will still lose hair at the same rate as before (even though it might not look like it at first). If you want to stop hair loss, you will need to use finasteride and, in some cases, dutasteride. Then u can regain ground with minoxidil, the LLT-cap (look for a cheaper option) and microneedling. You can also start using the ketokonazol shampoo aswell. But if you're contempt with just stopping hairloss. Finasteride and sometimes ketokonazol shampoo is enough.

    One thing that I've learned over the years of gaining muscle strength and then losing it (various reasons) repeatedly is that the higher reps exercises conditions muscles better for strength in the long run.
    I'm a small human (1.64m tall and just below 60kg). I've been active all my life and in 2013 I started to lift for strength. 2014 my circumstances changed and I couldn't lift anymore. I lost most of my gained strength in less than 4 months.
    Later, 2018 I started to lift for strength again and due to illness restricting my exercise, I lost strength really quickly again.
    2022 I started working as a movement education coach and have slowly built up my strength over 2 years. I was ill last year again (chronic disease) and after 4 months I returned and lost only a very small percentage of my strength. I joined my friend at the gym the other day and I can lift heavier loads now than I could when I was gyming for strength.
    Just by doing little bits every day at work rather than pushing my 1 rep max like I used to.

    The way I understand it, strength training helps muscle contract more forcefully with the downside of less repetition whereas, body building training helps muscle continue contracting and not fatigue. This means rest periods and volume are longer or shorter depending on your goals. Both results in increased strength but a bigger muscle cell is not necessarily required to generate more force.
    I have got a question though. If a muscle cell size increases, wouldn't that make it harder on the cell to function because substances are diffusing over a longer distance and myofibrils are longer? How does a cell adapts to increased fluid content?

Once your fibers feel that tension they will create a chemical reaction that creates DNA transcription which starts muscle protein synthesis. Higher reps causes more fatigue which takes off resources into growing.

    Strength, endurance, stamina, durability is my goal. I want to increase my energy to do strong things and become more durable to continue or repeat that day or another. I like to feel like I worked my muscles so I do eccentric movements with heavier weight, dead hangs to increase my grip and other nice things. The CoVid lockdowns with brief periods where gym was possible taught me how to get back into shape, like 2 or 3 days for a month is enough.
    I managed to get myself to stay on the elliptical for 45 minutes and I have gotten more energetic. Though you have to have motivation to go really fast for longer; I usually have max resistance. My heart is between 160 and 170 bpm but it can be 120 bpm, it depend how easy going or determined I feel. It was hard the first, second or third time doing 45 minutes but I no longer thinking about it, I adapted and I could keep going after 45 minutes. I am not out of breath at all; I can sustain.
    I am a heavy person; like 132 kg and 171cm height. I don't want to be slim or too heavy. But I know when I was 156 kg and miraculously lost 24 kg in about a year drinking plenty of water and having a caloric deficit around 400 kcal, and watching old school MacGyver and other things, that fitness is a requirement and mobility is important, being able to walk and visit places. I was 125 kg not too long ago, but I did not want to be slim. Going to the gym counteracts the issues with being heavy. Single leg squats are good for mobility.
    I take vitamins, theanine, rhodiola, safron, ergothionine, DHA/EHA omega 3 close to a gram each, astaxanthin. At least 750ml of water is good for hydration each visit to the kitchen and the mental freshness. Coffee with half milk is nice in the morning, green tea half milk. Also Bolognese, whole foods, honey greek yogurt. I like to get my calorie needs out of the way. I manage my focus and relaxation. I walk the dog every morning now at 7am abouts.
    I do feel great. The fitness helps.

Empiricists argue that empiricism is a more reliable method of finding the truth than purely using logical reasoning, because humans have cognitive biases and limitations which lead to errors of judgement.[2] Empiricism emphasizes the central role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas, rather than innate ideas or traditions.[3] Empiricists may argue that traditions (or customs) arise due to relations of previous sensory experiences

    Another theory as to the magnitude of changes in both size and strength is the genetic ceiling theory. This is the idea that considering there is a limited amount of strength to be gained, there is a proportional limit to the size a muscle can gain. After all, it would not be beneficial for muscle to be able to grow infinitely, such as having a forearm that is two miles in diameter. Thus, as one gets closer to the maximal strength the muscle is capable of gaining, the size gains proportionately slow.

    Basically, manual workers tend to be strong for their size because of the dynamic movements, as opposed to isolated movements. Thanks for the info this was great

    You should make a video about cartilages and the use of chondroitin and glucosamin supplements! I'd love to learn about them as I myself suffer from ostheoarthrosis and since I've started taking supplements, my conditions has gotten better and better.

    I love your videos. BUT I am disappointed that you advertise a snake oil hair restorer. Come on man.

      Glad you like our videos! As far as the hair restoration, have you done any of your own research about photobiomodulation/low-level laser therapy?

      Snake oil means proven not to work. This is more of a not proven to work for everyone type of therapy. It make sense that at least for some people red light may have beneficial effects given the unnatural reduction of exposure to it in modern society.

      @@theanatomylab thank you for responding to my comment. Yes I know a fair bit about it. As a patent attorney I can tell you there are two types of inventions that are presumed by the US Patent Office to not work: perpetual motion and baldness cures. There is a high burden to overcome the presumption and to my knowledge only one baldness treatment has ever been shown to be effective and obtained a patent, and that is Minoxidil.

    As for "skeletal muscles do not replicate", it is highly suspected by many researchers that hyperplasia can occur in individuals who are using enhancements.
