| The molecular response to resistance training | 13 Sep 2024 | 00:42:43 | |
What is ACTUALLY happening at the molecular level in muscles when we lift weights? In today's episode we cover the molecular signaling pathway that is activated in response to resistance training that eventually results in an increase in muscle protein synthesis. We get INTO it so get out your notes and get ready to lock in–this one is technical but so so valuable! NEW 1:1 COACHING APPLICATION: CONTACT ME:
