It has a s**t ton of benefits! 👍🏼

Such as:

Omega 3’s - decrease inflammation, may enhance fat loss, inhibit fat storage, and may impact positively on appetite. You can find these in Fish Oil Tablets/ Liquid Cod Liver Oil & Fatty Sish like Salmon 🐠

Taste - Normally for dietary adherence fat is essential. Without fats to make stuff taste good you’ve got bland, s**te food. Some studies actually show that you are more satisfied and satiated when your meal tastes good, so make it taste good with some fats 😛

Satiety - Fat keeps you fuller for longer between meals, thus reducing hunger signalling & increasing likelihood of dietary adherance 🤰

Energy - Similalry, it aids in better blood sugar control which means you have more consistent energy throughout the day & makes you more insulin sensitive = better ability to partition nutrients into muscle than fat cells 💪🏽

How much fat should you eat per day?

0.22-0.33 g/lb (0.48-0.72 g/kg) is a good starting point, you can go higher if you prefer 🧮

So what fat sources can you eat?

Dark Choc (70%+ cocoa content) 🍫
Nuts (Brazil nuts, Walnuts, Deez Nuts)
Nut Butters (Almond Butter, Peanut Butter without Palm Oil) 🧈
Olives 🫒
Avocado 🥑
High Smoke Point Non Vegetable Oils (Such as Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Safflower Oil, Macadamia Nut) 👍🏼
Chia, Pumpkin & Flax Seeds 🌱
Steak & Animal Fats 🥩
Fatty fish 🐟
Eggs 🍳

Muscle damage has been proposed to be a contributor to hypertrophy (muscle growth) 💪🏽

This is false 😑

It just seems to accompany the effects of training 🤷🏻‍♂️

It can actually have a blunting effect on hypertrophy 🙃

Why do we see muscle damage?

Specifically we see it from an excess in eccentric training, the lowering portion of the lift ⬇️

Too much time spent on the eccentric can cause muscle damage in excess & cause us to feel DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) a few days after the workout👀

Why is this bad?

Excess muscle damage can block the GLUT-4 receptor which is utilised to replenish muscle glycogen lost during the workout 😮

This muscle glycogen replenishment can help with recovery of the working muscle & thus growth & repair = muscle building. Not allowed when there is too much muscle damage ✋🏼

How to measure when we have too much muscle damage? 📊

A good measure typically for excess DOMS (providing sleep, stress & nutrition are well managed) is DOMS on only 1 day after the workout means you’ve got a good balance between eccentric action & stimulus ⚡️

2 days of DOMS can signify too much muscle damage and may provide feedback for you to alter your training 🏋🏻‍♂️

Alright so basically don’t overdo spending time on the eccentric, specifically the lengthened range of a lift as this causes the most muscle damage 👌🏼

It’ll take trial and error with your programming for this, but the tools are there 🔨

Sweet, enjoy your gains ✅
