Tim Havers et al. (@TU_Muenchen, @UWMadison) consider divergent skeletal muscle metabolite exchange in insulin-like growth factor-1-stimulated myotubes and resistance-exercised human muscle

Thanks to Lara, Moritz and Tim for their great talks at the ECSS in Lausanne this week presenting TauAge & HyperMet data.

Can one use an oral protein tolerance test to estimate anabolic sensitivity? Our first data suggest that this might be the case but there are several caveats. Well done Tim Havers and Max Hillgärtner! #HyperMet doi.org/10.64898/2026.06.29.…

In case you wanted to know my perspective, here's a perspective:

🏋️Resistance training still works across the female lifespan.
📚A new meta-analysis suggests women improve strength and body composition before and after menopause.
➡️Menopause is not a “stop sign” for lifting weights

🏋️ Drop sets vs. traditional training — what does the science say?
Our new meta-analysis (Havers et al., 2026) examined the acute and chronic effects of drop set training.

Very interesting work by @HeWaHippo et al highlighting importance of muscle mass: "Results of our systematic literature review suggest that the stimulation of skeletal muscle hypertrophy is sufficient to cause anti-obesity and anti-diabetic effects" 💪 link.springer.com/article/10…

🚨AI Hits the Gym 💪
📊Resistance training plans from ChatGPT & Gemini show promise but lack precision — coaches still needed to tailor for muscle growth & strength

Gain muscle to lose fat? "This analysis reveals that a 1.9–3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with 4.1 ± 5.8% lower fat mass." Great work by @HeWaHippo and co with important health implications. link.springer.com/article/10…

Looking forward to hosting on the 26.6. a SMHS "metabolism in action" session with Philipp Zimmer. First, legend Hermann Heck will discuss the vLamax. Second talents Tim Havers and David Walzik will present muscle hypertrophy metabolism and exercise immune metabolism!
We are excited to announce that our study is now published! We evaluated muscle hypertrophy training plans generated by Google Gemini and GPT-4 (via Microsoft Copilot) using two levels of information-dense prompts (little vs. detailed input), each inserted twice.
