I’m genuinely sorry for this, but what the fuck.
* Can the misconception that micro-muscle tears cause growth just die? We already know since 90s that it’s the myonuclei addition driven by muscle tension.
* There is no strength gain without muscle gain. There is not a single mechanism recorded that would drive this behavior.
* This post made me angry on so many fucking levels. Hex-bar deadlift is at least a good choice for legs due to its lower load on lumbar.
* Finally, it’s the concentric that drives most of the hypertrophy. Not eccentric. It’s why you see gym bros and most IFBB pros (gear aside) disregard eccentric control and hammer the concentric. Because that’s the movement that drives the growth.
* Eccentric cause most fatigue (many types) and lowering slower on purpose would hinder recovery times (and growth as well since the relationship between the two exists)

This doesn't add up to me, it seems like it doesn't account for the impact of a "trained" nervous system vs. an "untrained" nervous system, skeletal biomechanics, and a whole host of other factors. Maybe given an ideal muscle in a perfect vacuum, size == strength, but that is not the world we live in.
