@jacobsonofjohn Conclusion: "A high-protein diet increases the risk of RHF(Renal hyperfiltration) and a rapid renal function decline in the general population. These findings suggest that a high-protein diet has a deleterious effect on renal function in the general population." TLDR: High...

@sharleeg I don't think anyone has a "correct" answer at this point about what too much protein really is, the research is still coming out. Personally, I try to stay between 120g and 150g a day. It's my personal, mental, sweet spot for growth and risk management. "still way less than what a...

@laura02375 I was thinking about that when I wrote it last night. After thinking it through I'm not so sure that's how it works, but I'm really not an expert. Eating 5000 calories a day would be putting 312g protein through your system a day at 25%. Eating 1500 calories a day would be putting...

@dawn16 Hello! I do RDLs in a 10-12 range. I have a hurt back and find it safer to do more reps with less weight. I can tell when I'm 2-3 reps from failure easier with a bit higher rep range. I can't/won't risk failing a rep half way through.

@buna "They use eGFR calculated by creatinine." "The problem with using that in our population is that we regularly engage in activities which artificially increase creatinine" This does make analyzing fitness prone people more difficult. These studies are not only looking at active lifestyle...

I keep seeing outdated information about the effects of a high protein diet on kidney health. Just because it's inconvenient news doesn't mean we should act like it doesn't exist. Over the last 5 years multiple studies have shown High protein diets are rough on the kidneys over the very long...

@dawn16 4 days off always feels like the sweet spot when I'm way over cooked. I feel better in 3 but in hindsight that last day always seems like the most important, similar to taking an extra day off after being sick.

@hubies It's not exactly "High Intensity" but this routine has me making progress again after a couple years of stalling. I follow a lightly modified version. https://muscleevo.net/upper-lower-split/ I've tried a few different UL splits, this is the good stuff. My only complaint is it's a...
