What it concludes

• External shoulder rotations as a warm-up exercise for non-injured shoulders are a waste of time.
• Not shrugging the shoulders during rows prevents working the upper back and rear delts effectively.
• Floor presses limit the range of motion and are not the best way to develop the chest compared to deep-stretch exercises.
• Standing on one leg during lateral raises reduces stability and lowers muscle activation.
• Intermittent fasting can work well as long as daily macros include high protein and proper feeding windows around workouts.
• Organic versus processed food is a chemical distinction that has nothing to do with health benefits or muscle building.
