“The atrophy of fast-twitch fibers is almost exclusively the problem with aging and muscle.” —Andy Galpin
#235 ‒ Training principles for mass and strength, changing views on nutrition, creatine supplementation, and more | Layne Norton, Ph.D.
“Most 40 year olds, 50 year olds, they have pain anyway. So I’d rather be strong and have pain than be weak and have pain.” —Layne Norton

“I was able to grow throughout the experience and have different opinions on myself and different opinions on how I approached health and wellness.” —Chris Hemsworth
#179 – Jeremy Loenneke, Ph.D.: The science of blood flow restriction—benefits, uses, and what it teaches us about the relationship between muscle size and strength
“The real utility of using blood flow restriction is the fact that you can use it with very low loads…we’ve tried to combine it with high loads and in different aspects, and other people have run training studies with it, but it’s not additive; it doesn’t add anything more to high-low training” – Jeremy Loekenne
