Many in the field claim that deadlifts are an inherently dangerous exercise. Is this claim supported by science? Or is something else going on?

Mechanical tension has quickly become the main accepted stimulus for muscle growth. What is mechanical tension? Can we measure it? Why would this be important for growth?

Most current scientific reviews state that the optimal protein intake for maximizing muscle gain is well below what many bodybuilders consume. Is this true?

Coaches and trainers often preach the importance of the lowering portion of resistance training exercises. Is this really the most important part of a lift?

Fitness professionals often tout the importance of a well-rounded training plan – one that includes optimal rest, nutrition, and training. Why is this the case?

D-aspartic acid is often marketed as a natural testosterone booster but the reality is that this effect has not been shown in research. One study did find positive effects in older men.

Rest-pause sets can induce high amounts of fatigue very quickly. This can increase muscle activation and metabolic stress, both of which are important for gains.

One variable in training program design is the order of exercises that you use in your workouts. Why is this variable important?
