Very valuable and reassuring for those who are serious about their health and well-being. For those who cross-train hard and consistently, occasionally get injured and apply the methodologies and logic expounded in the discourse with your guest. Cheers!
When talking of muscle size i'm always reminded of study that i read looking at crosscountry skiers and musclefibers in their their quads and triceps. They had very big type IIA fibers in their triceps, which had similar capillar density to type I fibers, but they were something like 1,5-2 times as big. Musclefibers had build more capillaries, unlike quads which had much more clear cut difference between type II and type I fibers, both clearly remaining in their specialized role. I think they hypothesis was that their triceps require both good aerobic performance and high strength output. This would be really interesting to see studied on some all-rounder cyclists who actually need to be able to sprint and ride at threshold. Do their musclefibers it their quads display the same. I lack the knowledge to put that into context. It would be interesting to compare that to strength atheltes, how big were their musclefibers really. Bodybuilding is interesting case overall because there are some quite taxing high volume workouts which some of them do. If sprint interval training increases capillary density the best, as some researchers have said, then bodybuilders often already do that. Myoreps (15reps to bordering failure and then just enough rest to be able to finish 5reps) and long 20 rep sets fit the timedomain quite nicely. But what i've listened to research world around bodybuilding i don't think this has been studied all that much.
Fantastic

Interesting. I’m not sure either. Did you see that episode with Wim Derave? It’s likely he would know about these points.
@@insideexerciseI might have missed that one
EDIT: Yeah, i've listened that one. But it was so good that it deserves another listen!
