The Lab Notes
Everything we do here, explained. No held-back secrets and nothing you have to buy to understand it. If you want to run this yourself, these pages tell you how.
People misjudge their own effort in almost every study that has tested it. Here is what the research found, and what we measure instead.
The questions I get asked most, answered with the research: strength training or cardio for fat loss, for longevity, and for staying uninjured.
The six markers in the Longevity Analysis, and the research that ties each one to how long people live.
When muscle and strength start to decline, why strength goes first, and what the research says about building it back at any age.
One line per finding, with the study, who was in it and a link to the published paper.
Your muscle is thousands of separate bundles, and your body will not use the large ones unless it has to. The three ways to switch them on.
Finished physical therapy, or training around an old injury or a disability? Corrective exercise and strength training in La Habra, CA. The screen is free.
Most of the reps people do in a gym build nothing. Two things have to be true for a repetition to count, and you cannot feel whether they were.
No treadmill and no separate cardio session. How conditioning is built into the lifting, and why your resting heart rate comes down for it.
Stretching changes what a stretch feels like. Loading a joint through its whole range is what gives you strength where you had none.
Osteopenia and osteoporosis follow the menopause transition on a known schedule. Why bone responds to heavy load, and why walking and light weights do not reach it.
Told your testosterone is low? What strength training actually does for a man in his 40s or 50s, and what the research shows about muscle, fat and the hormone itself.
Dieting and cardio take muscle off along with the fat. Strength training decides what kind of weight you lose. What the research found, and what we measure.
Twenty-five minutes. No charge. You walk out with your numbers.
