In a new study, researchers analyzed 30 muscles using MRI to measure their total volume before and after a 10-week single-joint whole-body training program. Surprisingly, the study found that while most muscles increased in size (volume) by 5-20% when recruited, certain non-recruited muscles actually decreased in volume (!).
In this video, I'll break down the study's setup, highlight the key findings, and provide tips and tricks to help you avoid targeted muscle loss during your training.
