Heat stress may augment resistance training adaptations 🥵

A post-training sauna may be an additive protocol for hypertrophy.

Effect of heat stress on heat shock protein expression and hypertrophy-related signaling in the skeletal muscle of trained individuals

Background

Muscle growth is driven by various cellular processes including activation of the protein kinase B-mechanistic target of rapamycin (Akt-mTOR) 🧬

Resistance-training is one of the primary drivers of this cellular …
