Wonderful things happen when you just follow the program, right @SS_strength ? This kid started 3 1/2 weeks ago. When he started he weighed 118 pounds, on Saturday. He weighed 148 pounds. Here he is deadlifting 185 pounds. we started at 95 pounds. @StrengthDebates

Can traditional resistance training improve functional task performance in older adults? Or is more “task-specific” training required? Here, 6 weeks of traditional resistance training improved dynamic (5-RM) strength, but had limited carryover to functional task performance (like gait speed or chair stands). Performing the functional tasks with a weighted vest further improved task performance, but had less impact on dynamic strength. Improvements in a non-specific (isometric) strength task and muscle size were similar with both traditional and task-specific training. An interesting lesson in specificity and the benefits of varied (both traditional and task-specific) resistance training. Nice work from @MattStockPhD and team! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Im bias to cold water immersion based on my anecdotes and i live in a culture where its relatively normal but of course realize nothing cures everything. Lets look at this is more detail as Nicks article does not. Nick forgot to conveniently mention that the meta analysis he cited for strength inhibition Grgic et al 2023 even in the abstract states “However, when CWI was applied to the whole body, there was no significant difference between CWI and control for muscular strength.” Should have chosen better pictures to present your argument. For hypertrophy, he cited Pinerio et a 2024. Here again i would read the details but of all these inhibitions i would say hypertrophy phase is not good to combine with highly frequent cold water immersion. Still important to menton the protocols are curently like this: Isolated muscles, 10–20 min, <15 min following training, and 10–15 c). Thats it. What about shorter periods, whole body, longer breaks between bouts etc Malta et al 2021 endurance performance link.springer.com/article/10.100… “does not appear to affect aerobic exercise performance.” Health Tipton et al 2017 (screenshot) physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… We dont have enough data but there is potential. So lets not maybe draw simplistic conclusions just yet.
