#ResistanceTraining

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining

Muscle isn't vanity, it's your independence account. Sarcopenia steals 15% per decade after 60. The fix? 2-3x weekly resistance training + adequate protein can reverse muscle loss at ANY age. Your future self will thank you for every squat.

Testosterone and Natural Hormone Production 🧬🦍

Understanding testosterone and natural hormone optimization matters because hormones are the master regulators of your body’s ability to build muscle, recover from training, and maintain overall health.

How much #resistancetraining should the average person do to improve their #health?

Twelve weeks of high-intensity functional training (HIFT; resistance, aerobic, balance, and functional movement) improves cognitive, physical, and quality-of-life conditions in older adults (65 and older) with mild cognitive impairment. Two sessions per week were as effective as four sessions per week.

The Benefits of Weightlifting and How to Start Safely at Any Age

Weightlifting, also known as resistance training, is gaining popularity for its numerous health benefits, including improved immune function, cognitive health, and longevity. It's not just for bodybuilders; studies suggest that increasing muscle mass can lower the risk of death from various causes. ... [More info]

In a semi-crossover study of 16 individuals who ate either lean pork or a protein-equivalent amount of fatty pork after resistance exercise, circulating amino acids (and presumably muscle syntheses) was greater in those who ate the lean meat. This differs from results found with eggs and salmon.

A small 4-week study finds that resistance training reverses age-related decreases in nerve conduction velocity, even though there were no strength increases in older adults during the short period of the study.

Thrilled to share that my abstract “Effects of Grip Variation on Muscle Excitation and Spatial Activation Patterns During the Lat Pull-Down: A Preliminary HD-sEMG Study” was accepted as an Oral Communication at SISMeS 2025 🎉

👍 Benefits of Chest Flys 👍

Dumbbell Chest is a mobility and activation movement that blends resistance training with range-of-motion work.

Aging demands more workout recovery time. Suffering from this, I use a 3-day program repeated twice a week. It is: 1) strength-focused whole-body weightlifting; 2) HIIT; 3) endurance-focused barbell complexes. For the barbell complexes I use lighter weights and more reps than common programs. This doesn't impair recovery from the day 1 workout. Wish I had tried this 20 years ago. Maybe others will like it.

A study of 32 breast cancer survivors found that a single session of either resistance training or HIIT resulted in the release of myokines that suppressed the growth of triple-negative breast cancer cells for at least 30 minutes following the exercise session.

#Science #Health #Cancer #BreastCancer #WomensHealth #ResistanceTraining #HIIT

A mouse study shows that resistance exercise causes muscles to secrete a protein (cardiotrophin-like cytokine factor 1; CLCF1), which in turn increases muscular strength and endurance and increases bone mass. CLCF1 reduces age-related sarcopenia and osteoporosis, though responsiveness to CLCF1 does decline with age.

A cross-sectional study of over 67,000 schoolchildren, using self-reported resistance exercise frequency and academic performance found a positive association between exercise and academic performance in math and language skills up to 4-6 days per week of exercise.

A graph showing the association between English skills and exercise frequency for 1-7 days of exercise per week.  The odds ratio is shown with 95% confidence limits.  All values are above 1.0.  Values increase up to day 5, decrease slightly at day 6, and decrease more at day 7.

A discourse on the psychology of mens weightlifting:

The title is completely misleading, and there are no citations of original studies to back any of it up, but most of it sounds pretty plausible (to somebody who has been lifting for over 50 years).

This morning's #Workout #Music is from Meshell Ndegeocello doing songs from her latest (and greatest) album No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin. Resistance training while resistance training. RIYL Matana Roberts, Moor Mother, or, well, good music.
