Is heavy resistance training really better for tendon adaptation, or is strength training being oversold as a way to “target” connective tissue? In this video, I break down what the research actually shows about tendon adaptation in response to resistance training and strength training. We look at whether tendons remodel differently with heavy vs light loads, what targeting connective tissue really means, and why many claims go beyond what the data can support. I walk through a large meta-a...

Ulcerative Colitis: Blood Work, Prednisone, and Lifting (New Approach)
This video is essentially documenting an N = 1 experiment I conducted on myself after finding multiple studies to back up my theory that you can largely mitigate the side effects of prednisone by taking it intermittently and by exercising. Prednisone can also be effective at a low dose and when taken intermittently. So, I set off for a full year of taking 30mg of prednisone once a week and would check my lab work to see if I would end up with any of the glucocorticoid induced side effects li...
