    00:00 Intro
    01:31 Marbled unhealthy muscle is characteristic of insulin resistance. Fats are depositing in tissues and over-filling fat cells.
    02:25 Myosteatosis is the fat building up in muscle. About 70% of glucose goes into muscle tissue.
    03:12 There is a strong correlation between metabolic health and the degree of muscle fatness. The more unhealthy you are, the more unhealthy your muscle.
    05:35 Obese study subjects had significantly higher levels of poor-quality muscle, which was independently associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
    05:50 Muscle Fatness/Obesity/Bone Loss is osteosarcopenic obesity, which is characteristic of overweight people who lose muscle and bone.
    09:30 Lifting to failure means that you cannot do another. Intensity matters.
    10:44 With intense exercise, muscle was able to signal white adipose tissue via an extra-cellular vesical. It is a direct mechanism. This causes increased sensitization to catecholamine stimulation of lipolysis.
    11:48 Lipolysis is the release of energy.
    12:30 The more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate.
    12:55 Pushing your muscles to failure can directly enhance your fat cell’s ability to release stored energy.
    13:00 Fat oxidation occurs within the mitochondria within muscle tissue and liver.
    13:30 Many fat lipids are recycled. This recycling declines as you become more insulin resistant.
    14:37 Healthy skeletal muscle contributes to whole body glucose metabolism, leptin levels and insulin sensitivity. Frequency of workouts and intensity matter when it comes to muscle.

    Summary:
    A new study reveals the connection between healthy skeletal muscle and metabolic health. Resistance training to failure is found to increase fat oxidation through a recently discovered mechanism.
    Highlights:
    💪 Healthy skeletal muscle improves glucose and insulin sensitivity.
    💪 Resistance training to failure boosts fat oxidation through an epigenetic signaling mechanism.
    💪 Muscle quality correlates with metabolic health and is quantifiable through CT scans.
    💪 Metabolically unhealthy individuals have higher muscle fatness.
    💪 Poor muscle quality is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
    💪 Resistance training using seven reps to failure promotes adipose tissue lipolysis.
    💪 The study demonstrates a direct link between exercise and fat oxidation in the body.

    If you look up 10X workout it’s been studied on the mind valley channel here and it’s lifting 1 set of 10 to failure then you increase the weight over time and keep doing that ! I started this twice a week full body lifting 10X and it has gained me more muscle than when I lifted 3 times a week with 3 sets ! My workout only takes 15-20 minutes now instead of 45-1 hour ! More gains less time ! I also do hiit on my trampoline 3 days a week and a couple days of yoga plus walking 12,000 plus steps a day ! I don’t watch TV so I have time . watching tv and a sedentary life is harming ppl but that can change just by small changes !

It’s the carbs I don’t always reach and I’ve been told this could be what’s holding me back with gaining more. This falls in line with what you’re experiencing. However I have noticed with the slight surplus I have more around my middle (it’s not much but I’ve always had flat abs).

White rice and potato are great also 😁 People need to stop being afraid of making actual meals of fruit. I do this for breakfast (fruit is a hydrating way to break your fast) and most lunches and I’ve done it for 13 years. Bananas, mangoes, papaya and high calorie fruit are ideal. Can’t really make a meal of berries or apples.

      Why would a guy that can recover from workouts so fast because he's juiced to the gills not include volume? Why not combine high intensity with volume? Naturals do just fine with high intensity plus volume. Mentzer was already at his competing size and won Mr. Universe before he even said he started doing hit and promoting it. The main reason I see people promoting hit is because they are beginners. People always have some sort of gains when they go from zero training to just doing something. So when people hear they can get big and only have to put in an hour and a half of total gym time a week they buy into it, and when they start getting beginner gains they think it's because of Mentzer. It's not. It's just because they went from nothing to just doing something. There's a reason why Mentzer's version of hit has been around for over 40 years and never caught on.

Every single person will gain some muscle when they start from nothing by doing anything. Dorian Yates did not train that way and Mentzer only came up with his bs after he realized he was never going to win, so he wanted to do something different to stand out and make money off of. Mentzer did not get to his size training the way he lectures, and if you listen to multiple interviews and lectures of him you will see that he is very inconsistent with what he is promoting. He made the basics sound complicated because he wanted to sound smart.

      Set extenders can be effective but straight sets really should be the mainstay of your programming. Even the myoreps protocol creator recommends no more than one type if these sets per muscle group per workout. It’s about minimizing fatigue mechanisms while still providing a hypertrophy stimulus. Recovery from excessive fatigue accumulation will take precedence over myops and possibly even interfere with any and all myops depending on duration of fatigue recovery.

  • @aaronbradshaw7256
    @aaronbradshaw7256 Před 11 měsíci +7

    5-8 reps to failure is best for hypertrophy. We have been taught that moderate to high reps was best for hypertrophy. The issue with those rep ranges is the interference effects of fatigue mechanisms. 5-8 is enough to signal MYOPS.

      @@Hypno_Llama I don’t think that’s true but you’re entitled to your opinion. The most important thing is that people train hard. If they prefer higher reps, that’s fine - whatever motivates them. There’s nothing physiologically different about certain muscles that require a different rep range. Some muscles do respond to stretch mediated hypertrophy though. I used to do lots of reps for calves and absolutely nothing happened to then. Then I started training them with heavier loads, 5-9 rep range with a slow eccentric and prolonged stretch position - incredible difference. Same with lats - noticeable growth with heavier loads and lower reps. But again, whatever motivates you to train.

      So your best bet with smaller muscles is to start with the highest possible weight you can handle with proper form with full range of motion until just short of failure, take a 3-5 minute break then jump down to moderate weight and lift until absolute failure.

      @@johncalla2151 what’s individual is preference for a particular rep range - some like higher ranges, some not. You do have to work really hard to elicit a hypertrophy response. If you’re doing that at five reps or 25 reps, whatever you prefer. When you say you don’t get strong contractions with higher loads, I mean, frankly, that’s not possible. If you have an involuntary slowing of your rep speed, you’re at the point of recruiting all the high threshold motor units that you can. You don’t get a stronger contraction than that. However, you may not feel the sensation of a strong contraction. There is a big difference. But again, you do you. The research does support that 5 to 8 reps to failure elicits a maximal hypertrophy response. When you combine that response with the least amount of fatigue possible, you get the best response to training from a hypertrophy standpoint. The more volume you do, the more central and peripheral (at both the mu and fiber - calcium ion) fatigue occurs. If you can recover from that, that’s good. As I’m older, I find I can’t with the volumes I used to train with. Looking back, I don’t think I had effective recovery then either. Not sure if you’ve looked at Chris Beardsley’s or Borge Fagerli’s interpretations of the studies, but it’s great stuff. At the end of the day, you need to do what works for you. But it does make sense to start with a lower volume of training to see if you get a response and keep that volume until you stop getting that response. No need to increase volume if what you’re doing is working. But I sincerely wish you good luck in your training and I’m happy it’s working for you. Me, I’ll do something different and it’s working great for me. Both of us are probably working our asses off in the gym though, so keep it up.

    If we think about it in evolutionary terms (as we should be doing with everything fitness-related), the only time when early humans had to do a movement to failure was in survival situations: either hunting, being hunted, or fighting.
    So it makes sense that the body will want to mobilize energy resources (fats) when working out to failure because the body THINKS you are in survival mode.

      And while poor technique and 1rm lifts can be detrimental, good solid weighted rows, deadlifts, and squats in the traditional rep ranges will do nothing but bulletproof your back and posterior chain relative to where you would be if you did not lift weights.

    Looking at those two conclusions, they are both things that we should say "DUH" after we read about them.
    #1 - Take two people of the same weight and height, one with more intra-muscular fat than the other. The person with more muscle SHOULD burn more energy resting (DUH!).
    #2 - Exercising muscles to failure increases burning of fat. What is muscle failure? No more energy left to contract. Therefore, the body should adapt to provide more energy to the muscles. Where does the energy come from? Fat stores, or ingested calories (DUH!), if you're not ingesting enough calories, then it MUST come from fat oxidation (if fat is available).

I know people who say "I cannot do another rep" and i can tell they've done half as many as they can. And no study is going to accept form breakdown (ethics and safety). Therefore I'd posit for those of us who are truly driven, truly working hard it's actually far before our "I cannot do another rep" point because we as a cohort tend to push harder than average.

      @@randomnordmann4020 yes and no. The effect is limited but probably there is some. Clearly you cannot have a lean and and fat all the rest.

    I dunno about training to failure. It is a good way to get yourself injured from my experience. Also your form starts breaking in those last reps

    So what are these factors released by stressed muscles... and can we market it as a supplement?

    mis-leading title as it is not possible to trigger fat loss in specific areas, why do you feel the need to clickbait

    You aren't wrong but just simply walking burns the same fat lol.
    Eat no sugar
    Walk 10,000 steps a day
    Lift weights a few times a week
    You'll never be fat and if you are already fat, the fat will start dropping off fast.

    So you need to accept muscle bulk in order to be lean? I’m an easy gainer and want less muscles

    No one should be out of breath after the 7th Rep, even with squats this wouldn't be good.....

    i'm not sure why you are calling this a 'recently published study' if it's from 2021 and this video is from 2023? is 2 years 'recent'? seems like a petty complaint but when i hear 'recent study' and 'new study' i usually think of a study that was released within the last year, not two years ago.

    Burning fat always with a carb flame.
    Fat burn cannot be targeted. Its all or nothing with fat.
