I think most people don’t realize that you really only NEED 3 exercises for a successful (though, probably not optimal) upper body day:

P.S. Stay tuned for the full ~2-hour conversation that Brady and I will be posting in the coming week.

Although diving into the nuances and complexities of optimizing outcomes is interesting and useful, I think it’s easy to get stuck in the weeds and over-complicate resistance training to build strength and muscle...
In Shortcut U’s most recent podcast, I discussed what actually matters when it comes to reaping the majority of the benefits of resistance training with Dr. Pak, a P.h.D. in sports science.
Here’s a short clip of what he had to say:

I recently sat down with Patroklos Androulakis Korakakis, P.h.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Pak) to talk about resistance training and the minimum effective dose to increase muscle mass and strength in particular.
Here’s a clip of our conversation:

In my experience, a lot of people are concerned about or warning against artificial sweetener consumption because they think that artificial sweeteners cause cancer.
But, what does actual scientific research on this topic suggest?

Are you losing gains by avoiding the stretch with shortened partial reps?
How much does range-of-motion matter for building muscle, and what's the best option?
I answer these questions in today's blog post:
open.substack.com/pub/shortc…
I recently posted a podcast where I spoke with an expert about the benefits of lengthened partials for hypertrophy.
But, I think that increasing flexibility is the greatest benefit of emphasizing the stretched position when lifting.
More details here:

Wondering about Squats vs. Hip Thrusts and whether lengthened partials work for growing the glutes?
Check out this clip from my recent conversation with @MiloWolf12:
youtu.be/4E8CGi6DxQs?si=TyrH…
What are lengthened partials? Are lengthened partials superior to full range-of-motion? Just how important is achieving a full stretch with each repetition?
Find answers to these questions and more in Shortcut U's first ever podcast with @MiloWolf12:

I recently recorded a podcast with @MiloWolf12 , an expert in research on range-of-motion and its effects on muscle growth and strength training.
I'll release the full conversation soon, but, in the meantime, you can check out a sneak peak here:
