I’ve been waiting a long time for this one. For almost three years I’ve gotten nearly no resistance training. Why? Because I’ve long suspected it will impact my lipid numbers. And sure enough, during my endurance running phases, I observed data that appeared to confirm this<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nSo all this time, through all these experiments, I kept thinking, “I just need to get through these next few… then<\/em><\/strong> I can finally do the Resistance Training Experiment.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nAlas, I kept finding new things that led to more things to experiment with. All my experiments with carb swapping\/addition and the weight gain might have been confounded since the theory goes that this is predicated on glycogen stores… so I put it off through all of these phases as well.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now the wait is over!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

My Hypothesis<\/h2>\n

I hypothesize resistance training reduces LDL cholesterol due to higher endocytosis of LDL particles by non-hepatic tissues, this includes skeletal muscle for growth and repair.<\/p>\n

Study Design<\/h2>\n

From August 27th to September 10th (16 days), I will have the following routine:<\/p>\n
