Happy to receive acceptance on our review of potential applications for inter-set stretch for enhancing hypertrophy. Some intriguing supporting data both on mechanisms and in RCTs. Kudos to my coauthors Henning Wackerhage & Eduardo De Souza PhD 🇧🇷 for the collaboration frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

So proud to finally have my honours work fully published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise ! 📌 ECC hip training ⬆️ BFlh fascicle length, eccentric strength, BFlh & SM volume 📌 ISO hip training ⬆️ isometric strength, ST volume, but not BFlh fascicle length pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35941515/

Regional regulation of focal adhesion kinase after concentric and eccentric loading is related to remodelling of human skeletal muscle. Martino V. Franchi pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29438584/

Important data by Daniel Plotkin and our Auburn team and fantastic collab with Bret Contreras, PhD and Menno Henselmans. Similar glute hypertrophy with hip thrust vs back squats and cool strength data to boot. #truth!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First study comparing hip thrust and squat on gluteus hypertrophy and strength gains. Hip thrust and back squat training elicit similar gluteus muscle hypertrophy and transfer similarly to the deadlift. Daniel Plotkin Mike Roberts Bret Contreras, PhD biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
