Bro science myths - fact or bullshit?

Postby Vutulaki » Sat Mar 31, 2018 9:42 pm

Edit - Here is his bio/quals the dude is legit. https://athleanx.com/about-jeff-cavaliere


In this Jeff takes a look the "training legs increases test levels"




TLDW? basically all strenuous exercise will increase test levels, obviously when "training legs" with big compound movements more of your body is put under load (shocked) which in turn produces an optimal (Highest) level of lactate so the body produces the highest amount of test YOU can produce as a response to the stimulus. Another way to look at it is that bicep concentration curls will induce the same physiological response in producing lactate however due to less stress/less muscular recruitment/less "shock" it wont produce as much. Think about how fucked you feel after say "training arms" vs a squat or deadlift session.

Takeaway - There is nothing magical about "training legs" that produces test, our bodies do it regardless of the body parts put under stress but due to our anatomical makeup we can recruit more muscles by "training legs" (Id imagine it would be different for snakes and fish.) or in other words we can optimally stimulate the "best" physiological response in terms of naturally increasing our test levels controlling for diet (inc alcohol consumption), sleep, stress management and training history.

Seems okay man but being an older lifter its not my thing. I could have been into it before I turned 30 tho.

I prefer the more low key scientific type channels but feel free to add the vids you like here bro.

What do you think of them?

- I like their channel. Used to watch strenght camp to a couple of years ago.
I dont do that type of training too.

About the low key scientific, i watched a couple of vids of a old russian trainer on youtube, cant remember the guy name.

I follow Jeff Cavaliere too. Excellent info. Also following Funk Roberts too. He's 49 yrs old and jacked, so relevant to me cuz I'll be around his age in about 5 years.

Im not at 40 yet but I think the whol over/under 40's training is a little misleading. I cant speak for myself because im still too young and having never had a long lay off from the gym ever really or been inactive (cause kids - rugby and netball since they were 5 a piece) but I think people need to take training history and genetics (know your body) into account.

My BJJ coach for example was in his 50's, big guy and could run circles around most 20's guys except the top percentile. Dude could churn out 20 non kipping pull ups with ease without warming up. Then there's my cousins friend who is 23, Im training him and my girl cousin and I have to rehab them due to a lifetime of inactivity before we really start working. Neither could do a full pushup with strict form 3 weeks ago

I guess they need to draw the line somewhere but motherfucker dont tell me I shouldnt be doing convent DLs cause im over 30 or some bullshit when I can literally pull 220KG without really warming up any time I want (yes Ill need to ramp up with a few sets but thats "just in case")
