Most hydration researchers study dehydration. Very few study what happens when you drink too much. Although water intoxication is rare, it can cause brain swelling and death. It was a pleasure discussing the perils of overhydration on "Dying of Embarrassment".

So much fun working with @hyponaqueen this year at @wser with the research program. More ultrarunning research has come out of @WSER than any other race in the world, and it's great to be a small part of the program this year. Thank you, WSER, and thank you, researchers!

For all of the @wser and other #ultrarunners out there- Episode #4 has dropped. @hyponaqueen and I interview @LoisMougin about his research at WSER, including what we can learn from Kilian! @kilianj. Watch it here: youtu.be/hBYNq4tzMtY?si=pHW3…

When I first started using BFR, what I wanted most didn’t exist. Not another paper or course, but something that answered: “How do I use this with my athletes, safely, today?” That’s what I built the BFR Field Guide to do.

So this is a fun new project with @hyponaqueen! As part of @wser, we will start highlighting upcoming ultra research and reviewing previously published research! Please take a listen and let us know what you think!youtube.com/watch?v=4G-u7QV1…

We are 39 days out from the @wser medical conference (May 22) in the Endurance Capital of the World, Auburn, CA! This conference is going to be incredible! Come join us and spread the word!!! @hyponaqueen wser.org/western-states-heal…

Immobilized limbs don't just atrophy from disuse.
MuRF-1, a ubiquitin ligase upregulated during immobilization, actively accelerates muscle protein breakdown at the cellular level.
Passive BFR (occlusion only, no exercise) may blunt that response.
No movement required.

If you've had a kidney stone, you've been advised that the most important thing to prevent another bout is to increase hydration. Now a randomized trial of hydration in over 1600 participants showed no benefit, despite evidence of increase during volume. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

⅓ the load. Similar gains.
BFR (20–40% 1RM) → hypertrophy ≈ traditional training (65–85% 1RM), with a fraction of the load.
Strength still favors heavy lifting, but BFR is a powerful low-load option.

A study of older women found walking a mile or two a couple times a week (about 4,000 steps) lowered their risk of dying from #HeartDisease. The bottom line: Get out there! Read more from @time: ow.ly/AhL350Xgffg #SpyPhysiology

Does media attention vary based on the sex of a paper's first author? Apparently so. New research shows papers led by men got more pickups than those by women. Read more in @sciencemagazine: ow.ly/f75x50X9X9X #ProfDev #GenderGap

Train smarter, not harder.

Most of what we know about BFR comes from research labs, but the art lies in applying it in real-world environments.
The challenge isn’t what works, it’s when and why to use it.
The science guides us, but context determines how it’s applied.
