BiaBrain Vol. 1 Issue 8; Science behind exercise selection, training load, and genetic limits!

Welcome to the eighth issue of Bia-Brain, co-authored by Holly T. Baxter and Samuel L. Buckner. In this issue we break down a recent intervention examining muscle growth outcomes in response to the bench press exercise. Does performing the bench press grow the pec major, pec minor, delts and triceps? Check out what the authors found in this month’s issue!

We also discuss a fascinating paper that compares muscle growth responses between the preacher curl exercise and the incline bicep curl exercise. Will one variation of the bicep curl cause different growth across the muscle belly compared to the other? Gain greater insight in this month’s issue!

In addition to these, we examine a case study on a child born with a myostatin mutation. What happens if you are lacking this potent negative regulator of muscle growth? Does it lead to excess muscle tissue? Find out in this month’s issue.

Finally, is it possible that lifting weights can help with hunger? If so, does it matter how heavy you are lifting?  In this month’s issue we break down a paper examining changes in appetite in response to resistance training.

Dive into this issue for a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal topics in the fitness and nutrition realm.
