The debate of whether strength and muscle size are mutually exclusive has been waging on for decades. A new study clears this up once and for all. PLUS Harnessing nanotechnology to alter health status has been the promise for decades. Well it's here now. Learn more at https://shrnetwork.biz/taopatch and use code SHR to unlock your discount.

Show Notes:
New Study: Does Strength Follow Muscle Size + Upgrade Your Brain and Body
[5:20] Leaner people look bigger.
[6:30] Everybody carries muscle differently.
[7:25] Strength is a different thing entirely.
- Muscle mass can help, but CNS activation, rate coding, and other factors play into strength.
- Muscle size explains somewhere around 50% of variability in strength of test subjects.
- This becomes more apparent after several weeks of training.
[10:43]Professor Folland’s opinion paper.
- Reviews the available literature.
[16:10] Is it possible to tease out hyperplasia vs hypertrophy?
- Not easily.
- Strength is more correlated with the amount of contractile protein in parallel. Regardless of whether those proteins are fewer large fibers or more small fibers.
[19:23] Muscle is a dynamic tissue.
- It can stay around for a while after stopping training.
- Previously accrued tissue can also be regained more quickly after losing it.
[23:30] What about agents that will increase fluid in the muscle?
- Fluid makes a much smaller difference in strength on average.
- Creating would be a good agent for this.
[26:00] Growth factors and BFR.
- Helps to facilitate growth, but it does not provide as much neural adaptations as heavier loading.
[34:20] Volume
- Carl touches on fascial stretching and training for time.
[38:00] The inherent tension under the curve from occupational work can lead to “occupational hypertrophy”
[55:30] The importance of neural activation.
- It is very apparent in the first weeks of training.
- Without neural activation, any new muscle fibers will waste away.
[1:00:05] Is there any evidence suggesting a style of training for hyperplasia?
[1:02:58] The role of TRT in hypertrophy in older individuals.
- It definitely lends itself to being more likely to make gains after 65.
[1:08:00] Increasing TUT via slower reps.
[1:16:22] How did Tao Patch start?
- The idea is not that new. It combines light therapy with acupuncture.
- The technology was invented by Fabio Fontana 8 years ago in Italy.
- It incorporates prism technology to reflect your infrared energy into the body as well as refract that IR into wide spectrum light.
[1:20:00] The spectrum going into the body ranges from IR to UV
[1:20:45] The differences in patches
- The emotional patch utilizes more green light.
- It seems to have use in ADD users.
[1:23:24] Proprioception
[1:27:27] Start, Pro, and Platinum
- They differ in size and material, some of which give a wider spectrum.
[1:30:12] The patch is waterproof and doesn’t have to be removed for 2.5 years.
