The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
a very recent uh study came out where they uh had individuals perform six weeks of purely aerobic endurance steady state long duration endurance for six weeks I think prior to starting a hypertrophy phase compared that to individuals who did not do that and those folks that did these six weeks of just I think it was cycling actually just endurance work had more muscle growth at the end of their hypertrophy training than those folks that did not
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
you want to make sure you avoid exercise forms for your endurance training that are the same working group and specifically the Ecentric portion so for example we see much more interference with running on leg hypertrophy than we do cycling
there's actually data suggesting paper came out recently showing that six weeks of pure steady state endurance training I think this is cycling like 45 minute cycling um prior to hypert training resulted in more muscle growth at the end of the hypertree training than the group that didn't do anything
This does seem to imply that long-term aerobic exercise induces adaptations that improve muscle hypertrophy from resistance training.
and in fact as you've suggested it it may actually have an opposite effect where you precondition or you perform aerobic exercise and that may enhance capillarization so you know facilitating blood delivery to the to the muscle cell and then when you perform resistance exercise the muscle is is primed to receive more nutritional you know insulin and and amino acids to enhance the response the protein synthetic response to the to resistance exercise so essentially it's potentially promoting greater nutrient delivery to the muscles
