"Effects of curcumin (Curcuma longa) on learning and spatial memory as well as cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in adult and aged mice by upregulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor and CREB signaling."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24712702

Whew. Time to start taking the curcumin. I can't help but wonder, though, if the upregulated CREB and BDNF are simply because of the HAT inhibition (HAT is an inherent subunit in the CREB-DNA binding/signaling). Even still, the studies looking at its effects on memory and even neural progenitor proliferation, BDNF secretion augmentation and such all point to the fact that the upregulation outweighs any HAT inhibition.

"Correlation between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids consumption and BDNF peripheral levels in adolescents"

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3974009/?report=classic

So there's a correlation between n-3 PUFA intake and BDNF levels.
It also seems to associate red meat levels with the BDNF levels as that's a topic in the discussion.. and says red meats are a big source of n-3s.

"Influence of aerobic exercise intensity on myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis in young men during early and late post-exercise recovery"

http://ajpendo.physiology.org/content/early/2014/02/26/ajpendo.00487.2013

To quote from the abstract: "Over 24-28 h post-exercise, MitoPS was significantly greater after the HIGH vs. LOW exercise trial (P < 0.05). Rates of MyoPS were increased equivalently over 0.5-4.5 h post-exercise recovery (P < 0.05), but remained elevated at 24-28 h post-exercise only following the HIGH trial. In conclusion, an acute bout of high, but not low intensity aerobic exercise in the fasted state resulted in a sustained elevation of both MitoPS and MyoPS at 24-28 h post-exercise recovery."

High intensity > --- but we know this already hehe. They both have their place ofc.

Interesting. On the topic of antagonist muscle group supersets (ie quads w/ hams, bis w/ tris etc) and subsequent greater muscle activation

in the URL, *** = b l o g spot ofc on spaces there

this is a better direction.

Discerning paused reps at the cost of disrupted TUT.

Aww yeah.jpg
e: really though, great article. That's a topic I never thought of in such a way, interesting.

Realized after surfing advanced fitness reddit
Many people talk like they are knowledgeable and don't know shit lol

gieb citations or gtfo/10

Been arguing some
And they're trying to tell me how I'm wrong about metabolic stress? Looool. K.
I've argued over a few things before too.
E: you may enjoy it if you look again. Dude tried to say TUT is a false premise and how only hitting failure, not tut is important

As in, a 1 rm being = to. 12 rm?

I don't think he means strictly 1RM, so not such a chasm.. but quite heavy ie 4-6 to failure vs 10-12 yes, and that they're essentially equal. Haha.

Him and others love to cite that recent study by Brad where the strength group had equal size gains to the hyp group when the volume was equated.. but the Hyp group trained for a total of 17 mins/session.. the strength group was over an hour...... Lol.

What others also don't realize is, when comparing a powerlifters routine, a strongman routine, and a bodybuilder routine, all will gain appreciable size of course.. but to really start seeing a major difference in terms of size, it's going to take a study longer than simply 1-3 months. That's why you see such immense differences after YEARS of comparisons, but no study can realistically view that unfortunately so parrots will continue to pontificate their baseless and mechnistically false gobbledygook.
