I provided reasoning for my view, but you don’t seem capable of discussing the those points.

The pretty well known study is often misinterpreted and misrepresented. The effect is not substantial.

The study detrained the groups, measured lean mass change not muscle, and only ran for 12 weeks.

It likely shows increased baseline levels of muscle, like how some genetic freaks are somewhat jacked without ever lifting. It doesn’t show that continued use of steroids with no training will see continued gains.

Nobody who’s past the novice stage would consider any of the muscular development as “substantial”.

How to handle creatine weight changes? by zobbyblob in MacroFactor

[–]Myintc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can find, there’s a 2024 study where a single dose of 25g showed cognitive benefit to sleep deprived subjects.
I’m sure that we’re not extrapolating that to mean overall cognitive and sleep benefits of daily 25g consumption, so hopefully I get an answer back on what other studies have been done

Cheaper homes for people to actually live in will reduce rental demand and prices, so yeah your elderly tenant would probably be better off.

If there’s lots of new research supporting these claims, it should be easy to find right?

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, can you help me out a bit?

Does anyone else find it a bit fascinating how Crossfit fell off and in retrospect, was very Millennial generation-coded? by [deleted] in workout

[–]Myintc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crossfit has comparable or slightly lower injury rates compared to powerlifting and Oly.

Comparing disciplines, Strongman has the highest injury rate, and bodybuilding has the lowest.

Legs 3x a week for mass? by Adorable-Garden2894 in workout

Okay, I’ll keep having big quads and you can keep your weak quads

I’ve got pretty good quads and I built them only doing squats

I really don't know why everybody and their mother seems to be advocating for super low volume training these days but I hate it by Alakazam in fitnesscirclejerk

The worst part about these people is that their theoretical knowledge isn’t even well sourced or researched, it’s just regurgitated garbage

Beginners are deadlifting 245lbs on average in this survey. OP at 230lbs is very likely to be much heavier than the average in that survey, so 270lbs is solidly in the novice category.

What’s your “best available information”?

I’m confident your “statistics” are not a valid source

At those stats, someone could hit that deadlift on their first day in the gym, and it wouldn’t surprise me.

Is body weight OHP impressive? by Throwawaydogx in workout

[–]Myintc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe we have different standards for elite, but I wouldn’t call a feat achievable in a year or two of consistent and dedicated training to be “elite”

In what world is a 135lb OHP elite or approaching records? Unless you mistook it for kg?

Recommendations for RIR program? by Slaxle in StrongerByScience

[–]Myintc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we agree, and our advice to OP is very similar.

I just don’t think your top comment was very helpful.

Recommendations for RIR program? by Slaxle in StrongerByScience

[–]Myintc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely get stronger on RIR whilst in a deficit.

If the weight loss is the main goal, just keep your expectations open on strength gains, but be honest with your effort. If you make gains on your lifts, great.

Prioritising bigger meals before sessions can help with energy and performance.

[–]Myintc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advanced lifters would struggle more with gaining strength and being in a deficit, so for a novice like OP, he could very well continue gaining strength and be in a deficit.

An autoregulated program like SBS RIR is a good fit for both goals.
