@robertallan87 @basesuk Great to see it arrived ;)!

It's nice when lost post turns up on your office desk. Thanks @27CJ for the thesis, looks incredible. Also great to have a paper copy of our @basesuk expert statement arrive.

@tbstanford @nathanhodson5 Hey Tyler! Send me an email (to cas.fuchs@maastrichtuniversity.nl) and I will send you a link to an online copy.

@nathanhodson5 @27CJ How can I get copy

Probably been sat in my pigeon hole for months but finally received this today! Looking forward to reading @27CJ

@dariosantanatsd @Sale_ExNut @nathanhodson5 Hey Dario! Sure, send me an email (to cas.fuchs@maastrichtuniversity.nl) and I will send you a link to an online copy (you don‘t have to pay me)

@27CJ @Sale_ExNut @nathanhodson5 Hi Cash, is it possible to buy a copy of your thesis? I am really interested. Thank you very much for your work.

Rocky Balboa was full of shit, my whole life is a lie. 🥊 "postexercise muscle protein synthesis rates do not differ after ingestion of 5 raw compared with 5 boiled eggs in healthy young men." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36774104/

@bearduckk @JornTrommelen Correct! Keep in mind that its proof of principle to see whether (very) hot temperature after exercise increases post-ex mps. Its not saying that people should use this temperature. Besides one leg ≠ whole body. So good point, because those are important take aways!

@JornTrommelen @27CJ 46 is very hot! 43 is how I like it and I already thought that was too hot for most people.

Do post-exercise hot water baths affect muscle growth? A thread 🧵👇 #heating #muscleproteinsynthesis #recovery

@mikeormsbee @MaastrichtU That took a (long) while! But I’m happy that you have received it! Thanks for the share Mike!

The pure quality of this dissertation book is so impressive! Huge congratulations to @27CJ and team at @MaastrichtU . Thanks for sharing! Looks like some great reading awaits. 💪🏽💪🏽

@gerdy_mac You know what to get now if you are in the Netherlands and are looking for a protein-dense food product 😉!

@27CJ 🤣 it's not here (as far as I know), I'd never heard of it before! Still at least I've learned something this Christmas

Seen this study title a few times on timeline - did anybody else immediately think of 'quarks' in the physics sense (I.e what protons & neutrons are made from) - and think whats this got to do with nutrition? 🤣🤦

New paper from @CNEM_Bath out today in @IJSNEMJournal. Phosphate loading and cycling time-trial performance. Congratulations @harrypope_ and @Max___Davis on your first publication.
