And that is just is what it is.
I could be wrong, but I think those labels and those descriptors don't even come from any sort of physiology research or framework.
I think they come from psychology.
which makes no sense given that we're using them to describe how one might expect to adapt to training.
You can say, oh, if you're somebody who is kind of skinny, maybe you can expect to be a hard gainer, but sometimes that's not the case at all.
You see teenage boys that were kind of skin and bones and lanky, and then they start lifting and they blow up.
There's also the height component too though because if you think about if you are 5'6 and you have you know the same kind of relative muscle mass as somebody who is 5'11 you are going to look way more muscular than the tall counterpart so if the person who's 5'11 or 6'2 wants to look really muscular they're gonna have to put on a lot of mass because they're taller.
I'm glad you bring up the data piece because in some of these conversations, there's a lot of extrapolation of a potential mechanism.
And that's not where we lean when we develop data.
recommendations about exercise and nutrition.
We need to look at the data in the population of interest, humans, measuring the outcome we are interested in using the intervention that we're discussing.
So in the case of fed and fasted state training,
This has been looked at on longer-term studies, so consistent fasted state training, not just an acute bout of fasted state training.
And the muscle growth and fat loss adaptations to exercise are the same in men and in women.
And there was a school of thought that fasted training might be beneficial for fat loss.
It's like 2012 maybe.
And everyone was doing fasted cardio thinking it was going to accelerate their fat loss because they were exercising in a fasted state and oxidizing more fat because they were fasted acutely.
Turns out that acute fat oxidation or fat oxidation post-workout balance
isn't meaningful enough to offset the rest of the metabolism throughout the day such that you don't lose more body fat long term.
Now the pendulum has kind of swung in the other direction and the argument is that if you're training fasted you're going to gain fat or lose muscle and
