As most mainstream people or even those interested in performance improvements, are not educated in reading studies and understanding them. It takes a long time to decipher what they may mean. And for better or worse waiting till things are out there and vetted by experts and those that actually do the work it takes time to find things out.. And science moves on in the meantime. I am one of those that looks at the introduction then the conclusion and the stuff in between is not well understood much of the time. So without simply written conclusions the studies are less then beneficial for most.
Yeah I think that's fair.
My only thought to that though is do we really need science to tell us how to train at this point? I'd say we don't.
People know how to get big. The knowledge is there. Jeez look at some of the lads on this board like Luki and a few others. What's the latest study going to add to our body of practical knowledge on training.
I'd say it'll add nothing.
My problem with it is that it's a distraction. Let's say you're 35 and you started lifting at 20, well that's the very best years of your lifting and if you were mislead by these science guys from one thing to another that's a hell of a waste of time.
