Episode #322: November 2024 Research Review

Author: Barbell Medicine November 29, 2024 Duration: 1:05:31

In the November 2024 research review, Drs. Jordan Feigenbaum and Austin Baraki discuss the effects of de-training periods in resistance training and the potential benefits of carbon monoxide supplementation for enhancing altitude training. New research investigated 20 weeks of continuous training vs. two 10-week periods of training separated by a 10-week off period. The results are....not what you might expect! The second study explored the use of carbon monoxide to stimulate red blood cell production and what effects it had regarding VO2 max and power output in elite cyclists. Ethical and monitoring concerns are also discussed.
