Thank you for the feature @TommyASC91

"Poor Sleepers were significantly more likely to report sports injuries than Steady Sleepers, with 68% injury probability." Study utilized 425 recreational (novice & experienced) runners; 57% male/43% female mdpi.com/2076-3417/15/1…

WILD. This paper suggests humans can awaken a dormant muscle fiber type (IIb) - the fastest we know of, but it is completely non-existent in humans (highly abundant in cats, cheetahs, mice, etc.). Some quick context. Humans have two major muscle fiber types: Slow and fast-twitch. Slow are called "type I". Fast are subdivided into "type IIa" and "type IIx". These all exist on a spectrum; Type I generally have mitochondria and are more fatigue resistant - but as the name implies, contract with much slower speed. IIa is faster than I, but IIx is faster than IIa. Pure IIx fibers RARELY exist in normal, healthy human muscle. It's almost always associated with poor health, aging, inactivity, etc. Confusing, I know. But it's not something you can exercise and get more of (exercise does the opposite, actually). Type IIb fibers are even faster than IIx. Other large mammals are full of them (I've personally tested black bear and found >30% pure IIb). Big cats are the most notorious, occasionally being >80% IIb. This is one of the many reasons these animals aren't a little faster than humans; they are a LOT faster. What makes this recent paper so fascinating is that they are directly claiming a method to 'reawaken' the type IIb fibers in human muscle. I have no clue if, when, how, or the reality of this. But it's incredible to think about. We've known for 40+ years that you can change your fiber type (from fast to slow and vice versa) with a range of things - from exercise to nutrition to pharmacology, and more. But I've never seen anything that even indirectly implies you can do anything to add type IIb fibers in humans. If I had to guess, this probably never becomes reality, but shoot....you never know....

One of the greatest ever in my field

Cyberpunk is boring now. Real life got an upgrade. Right now, somewhere in a lab: Human neurons are learning in real time. No code. No training data. Just biology. Your wearable can now run on living tissue:

Exited for today another milestone to hit.

Incredible week. I’m looking to more weeks like this. Greateful.

It's not just genetics. Or just lifestyle. Disease & peak health are both just expressions of an incredibly complicated ongoing physiological mosaic. One must account for genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phophoproteomics, and much more. Focusing on muscle hypertrophy, this recent (open access) paper by my long-time friend @KevinMurachPhD does a great job of breakdown what this all is and how it works. Safe to say, much is left to learn.

Important day made successful proud.

The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.

For years, there was a legit advantage from knowing how to use Google Advanced Search. Felt like a secret. Same thing is happening with AI now. People who know how to wield its power will be quasi-superheroes. But normal people won't go beyond the standard ChatGPT interface.

Grizou 💔…Merci de nous avoir fait vibrer sous le maillot de l’EDF @AntoGriezmann

@ToniHouston26 Dm me as I can’t dm you. Let´s discuss and try and make something happen.

I personally want to start a camp in Trinidad where I can train athletes aiming to make it but don't want to migrate. I don't have the support yet, but I'll make it happen somehow 🙏🏾

Déçu du résultat mais fier du parcours @equipedefrance on gagnera la prochaine !

Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack a list of papers to read, so as to improve John's understanding of AI. That is a lot to read. If you want to quickly grasp what those papers are about, in this thread I share maps on over 20 of them 👇

The minor 251 /736 progression hits differently…

Big up @2SlickChris 🔥
