Are the #powerlifts powerlifts overrated for #bodybuilders? Which parts of the shoulder does overhead pressing actually work?

The researchers had 2 groups of women and 2 groups of men train to either a 20% velocity loss per set or a 40% velocity loss per set. In other words, one group trained closer to failure than the other by performing more reps per set.⁣

Overall, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups, but the magnitudes of improvement differed between groups. Women showed greater effect size gains from training closer to failure than men for 1RM strength and power.⁣

I agree with the overall conclusion of the researchers, although we need a lot more research on strength training women.

Raw eggs are often listed as a poor protein source due to their poor digestibility. We digest barely half of the protein in them.

Yet somehow they stimulate just as much muscle growth as boiled eggs, according to this new study.

Anabolic signaling (mTOR) and myofibrillar muscle protein synthesis (MPS) over the 5-hour post-workout recovery period were similar after eating 30 g of protein from either raw or boiled eggs.

This finding surprised me, as well as the authors. It's plausible that raw eggs are indeed an inferior protein source, but the study was underpowered to detect the difference or that MPS hit a ceiling effect.
