Strength Training
Resistance training principles and programming
Interventions
No Hang Finger Strength Protocol
Finger strength training using a loading device while seated, allowing precise control of load without the risks of traditional hangboard training
Loaded Carries (Farmer Walks)
Walking while carrying heavy weights - a fundamental human movement pattern that builds full-body strength, grip, core stability, and cardiovascular fitness simultaneously
Isometric Training
Static muscle contractions (wall sits, planks, handgrip holds) for blood pressure reduction, strength, and tendon health
Studies
Throwing cold water on muscle growth - effects of postexercise cold water immersion on resistance training-induced hypertrophy
Meta-analysis found CWI after resistance training attenuates strength gains; timing and individualization recommended.
Effects of Creatine Supplementation and Resistance Training on Muscle Strength Gains in Adults <50 Years of Age: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Meta-analysis of 23 studies found creatine plus resistance training significantly increased upper-body strength (+4.43 kg) and lower-body strength (+11.35 kg) in adults under 50, with greater benefits in males.
