Optimal Training Frequency
Is there such a thing as an optimal training frequency? Many factors are involved, but this study found that training each muscle group more than once per week is optimal for gains.
Sleep and Fat Loss
This study found that subjects who slept 8.5-hours per night lost more weight as fat compared to subjects who slept 5.5-hours per night when both groups consumed the same diet.
GABA
Many bodybuilders use GABA to improve their sleep quality. While this may not always be an effective use, GABA has been shown to increase growth hormone production overnight.
The Tripod Foot
Many lifters focus on maintaining their body weight on their heels while they squat. This is a good method for beginners, but for optimum performance, you need to utilize the tripod foot.
Eccentric vs Concentric Training
Many trainers and coaches emphasize the eccentric portion of lifts but the reality is that, during normal lifts, this portion has no extra benefit compared to the concentric portion.
Sleep and Performance
We know that sleep is important for recovery, but this study also found that sleep is incredibly important for optimizing performance. Make sure you’re getting at least 8-hours of sleep every night for optimum performance.
