. Do you have any formal background in philosophy, Jeff? Your taxonomical trademark, especially evident in this video, highlights an awareness of the distinction between the Universal and the Particular that is the hallmark of a philosopher. Also, your powers of generalization and inference (and so flawless) are indicative of the sort of first-class mind usually found among philosophers (and, um, lawyers. Powers of abstraction as this are completely unprecedented in the bodybuilding world -- an environment of banal existentialists and charatans -- and are NEVER born from within this environment in anybody. (E. g, who in the bodybuilding world demonstrates ANY powers of generalization at all, but especially to make valid inferences -- a very abstract ability concerning only form) And then your an incredibly decent human being, too, demonstrating high emotional development -- the sine que non of high intellectual development. Just your maturity alone indicates high emotional development, and a first-class mind hiding behind it. There's no way you're just a bodybuilder -- you're a philosopher top-to-bottom, dude. And if you're not a philosopher, you sure sure freakin' should be.

Garbage in, is garbage out. always keep this in mind when evaluating scientific research. Statistical analysis and P values are easy ways to get sucked into believing data that just isn't true/representative. Always, always, always look at the supplemental material and how the research was conducted. poorly designed research means NOTHING, even if the statistics say otherwise. this is especially true for meta analyses and systematic reviews, which often get placed on a pedestal, and touted as the ultimate source of scientific knowledge.

My intuition is that in the fitness science space, often the biggest mistake made in the analysis of the literature is assuming something has no impact on gains/something else because there is not a statistically significant correlation to show there is. Often the weeks of study and number of subjects would make it extremely difficult to show a statistically significant difference between groups. However, we use this lack of proof of statistical significance to then say a variable in training makes no difference

The researchers should clearly state in advance what exactly will they study and how, and then report those results even if it is not what they hoped for. Sometimes in their study they may uncover an unintended result and make a big deal out of it like eureka they had struck hidden gold. Hopefully more scientific journals will require authors to submit their hypothesis BEFORE the study to make sure authors stay truthful to purpose. Also needs larger sample sizes, randomly selected.

Jeff I'm a research specialist in a neuroscience lab and a fitness enthusiast and I just want to say thank you for approaching health and fitness with such a science-focused view, even going as far as to explain what makes studies reliable and why research is important. I wish this general attitude were more commonplace in the fitness world (and the world at large. I'm so glad you're helping to spread the knowledge.

Yo what's your thoughts on occlusion bands and blood restriction for training? I just watched a video and did some research on it about how it's used for rehab and injury recovery. Several accredited youtubers believe that it's one of the best options for muscle growth. I've tried it only with body weight calisthenic workouts but nothing more as it's a little intimidating to do with weights. Thoughts?

One of the most important videos you ever did. All your videos are fantastic as is, but so many people I meet like to quote studies without knowing the strength of it. I am fortunate enough to have an education in this stuff, but I must confess. I was guilty of it before I got the education. One step forward to educating the populous Jeff Bravo

Great video Jeff. Have you looked at Dr. Stuart Mcgill's studies regarding core stability? A lot of people believe his approach to spine rehab and strengthening the core is outdated. I know you're not a doctor but I'm curious to hear what your opinion is regarding core stability exercises and low back pain prevention.

Such a good question Ppl struggle with this one for sure. Even as an academic I sometimes struggle with this issue when selecting studies for my own video content. And honestly I think you might be the first person in the online fitness world to attempt to cover this. Awesome as always Jeff
