********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Base conclusions on meta-analysis of weightlifting trials

The conclusion is based on a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials where healthy participants lifted weights at least twice a week for a minimum of four weeks.

#study

Avoid cold water immersion post-resistance training for optimal muscle growth

For maximal muscle gains, it is likely more beneficial to avoid cold water immersion after resistance training.

#cold-therapy

#muscle

Limit cold water immersion to prevent blood flow restriction

Cold water immersion causes vasoconstriction, which clamps down on blood vessels and reduces the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles.

#blood-flow

#cold-therapy

Limit cold exposure to enhance muscle growth

The reduced nutrient delivery from cold exposure can down-regulate and inhibit master muscle growth enzymes like mTOR, which controls muscle protein synthesis.

#cold-therapy

#mTOR

Limit cold exposure to enhance immune response and muscle healing

Cold exposure is believed to reduce the activation of immune cells that play an important role in clearing damage and secreting molecules to encourage muscle healing.

#immune-system

Recognize limited muscle growth from resistance training and cold water immersion

While resistance training paired with cold water immersion can lead to some muscle growth, researchers describe the effect as 'small to negligible'.
