What Alcohol Does to Muscles -- (Sisyphus Rock Ep. 2)

(1) Don't forget... don't click this link 😝: bit.ly/3SIwH4o (2) What video do you want me to do next?

[@Herrgolani]

How about cold showers after training? Some people swear by it but I've seen studies that shows a decrease in protein synthesis after cold bathes (arguably not the same). I'd like to hear your take on it.

[@YiannisChristoulas]

@@Herrgolani hmm that's an intresting topix indeed. I've seen some, but definitely not all the studies on this topic. Maybe I should put this one on the list too

Does NoFap increase muscle building and energy endurance?

[@Bobi-ow6ou]

Does weightlifting and hypertension affect your health?

I really like the nerdy approach to fitness that you bring with your videos.

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Lol, I think I get nerdier every year

[@francis5518]

I am glad your channel is back! Your approach is exactly the kind I value!

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Thank you man I appreciate you it 🙏

[@vitormartins8208]

Excelent content! The scientific studies that you bring to the discussion and the perfect editing makes your channel one of my favorites! Keep the incredible work!

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Thanks man I really appreciate it!

[@aznBEANiiE]

Thank you very much for this informative video! I like that you keep thinking critical and include more studies which may not be directly related to the topic at first sight.

[@YiannisChristoulas]

I’m glad to hear this, I do my best. It’s hard to make safe evidence based conclusions

[@camiloperezrodriguez6932]

Really like the content, please keep it going!

[@YiannisChristoulas]

I will thank you! 😃

[@xealous5106]

How come this is not the most popular video?

[@LightSpeaker2k]

We thank God for Pandoras box! Nice video!

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Lol thanks!

[@sajithnarayanan3511]

Hi.. Could you please do a video about the effect of smoking on muscles?

[@franciscoortizhernandez2729]

Congrats for this complete research video🎉🎉🎉❤

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Thank you Francisco!

[@trashcangoblin420]

love ya stuff as always!

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Thank you!

[@Scrattah]

heavy drinking bad… low drinking not too effective but has a chance of going either way pending future data.

[@YiannisChristoulas]

👌

[@miguelfdez78]

When do you create a course for front split?

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Until Christmas I’ll have released a program on front split

[@44분]

Thank you so much. I'm drinking right away

[@morph1232]

As always great content 🥃 😂

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Cheers brother, thanks!

[@lords6263]

Excellent video

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Thank you!

im going to be honest, regardless of the results of the studies you mentioned, a sample size of 8 is WAY too small to be anywhere near scientifically rigorous. at least 20 people would be fine... but im tired of these training-related studies only having a handful of subjects and drawing real conclusions from such a small amount of data

[@YiannisChristoulas]

Yeah most feasibility studies have low numbers of participants. It’s really really hard to find more people to participate in protocols like this. In my masters thesis’ experiment I managed to find 18 participants and with the things they had to go through (breath hold in cold water, blood testing, VO2max testing etc) it was a miracle that I found so many. For this reason these studies are well accepted by the scientific community. The study design however, is a different concept and I agree that it could be a lot better

Slamming a beer for the video

[@YiannisChristoulas]

😂 I had to

[@stevenintexas6947]

Some of these academic studies are laughable. I recently saw a study by PhD’s boasting about their study that showed higher reps per set are equivalent to progressive resistance by adding weight. No kidding? I do not increase my weight until I can do more than 12 reps for 2 or more consecutive sets. Therefore, for me to be able to do more than 12 reps for 2 or more sets I must have gotten stronger by Reps alone without adding weight. I didn’t need a PhD research study to tell me that.

[@YiannisChristoulas]

It’s true that many times studies make no sense but only add a small part to the literature. Some time they don’t even do that. The only thing we can do is keep an open mind and a critical thinking.

[@1007yes]

Sounds like the researchers were more interested in the beer mile than real life exercise and drinking.

What do you think about this systematic review debunking that moderate alcohol consumption is good for health? PMID: 26997174

[@jimmahgee]

Recovery crew… who else is cackling at the descriptions of unrealistic amounts of alcohol after training? (And even the idea of “after” training??) 🥲
