What should I look for in electronic measurement of body composition? About accuracy- the important thing is to measure small changes in short times. But my assertion is that for instruments measuring the same way it is probably not a big difference |

What should I look for in electronic measurement of body composition? So i might buy a separate instrument later. |

What should I look for in electronic measurement of body composition? I think handheld sensors might not be accepted in the bathroom :-) |

What should I look for in electronic measurement of body composition? The tiny Fitbit does that (And they also have this kind of balance) |

What is the difference between one and several sets - With the same level of soreness? If I get 80% of the effect of 2 sets with just 1 set, it sounds like a good deal :-) |

What is the difference between one and several sets - With the same level of soreness? I have usually been doing 8-12. Usually close to max. |

What is the difference between one and several sets - With the same level of soreness? If one set max doesn't give significant soreness we can compare a few sets with a higher number of sets. |

What is the difference between one and several sets - With the same level of soreness? Limited by soreness (and with significant soreness). For a beginner Say 5-15 rep range for 1 set. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles (Its not my question anymore) I don't "keep dropping facts I think I know", I am stating my assumptions. You are right that it doesn't directly relate to my question, as my question was about the gain-side. I think overtraining is an example of a negative effect which is a bit different than the local phenomena I am referring to. I don't think it is uncommon in some groups. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles i am more looking at the gain-side, but I will look at it. The relation on the pain-side is quite clear to me (But I might be wrong (overtraining seems to be common in bodybuilding, and is perhaps a bit different than just breakdown). |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles I am sorry gain against pain. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles I see that the FAQ calls for a practical question. That would be how to balance pain against pain in cases where breakdown++ is quite important on both sides. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles I think inflammation, soreness and DOMS are related to muscle tearing/damages/breakdown, and also that these factors are most important on the pain-side of strength training for me and many others. My question is about the gain-side :-) |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles IMHO, for many of us, the main downside of strength training, inflammation, DOMS etc, are connected to tearing, damages, breakdown in the muscles. It is therefore important to what extent gain is related to tearing, damages and breakdown. I can't see how I can ask this in a much better way. Practical applications is of course important, but are much more complex. |

Foods that increase Melatonin (induce sleep) Actually exercise has some effect on Tryptophan absorption. (A bit the same effect as carbs). |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles Pain (inflammation, DOMS), is AFAIK mostly connected to tissue damages, so if gain/pain is important, it should also be best to see gain in that way (If it is a correct way to see it) |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles No - but one reason for many sets (other than muscular breakdown) could be neuromuscular improvement. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles There are also neuromuscular changes for example |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles Reg 4) Say if you do pushups with good progress, then you stop at n reps, and your level (in max reps) stabilizes. A breakdown-view will say that it stabilizes because the breakdown and thus rebuilding get lower. Another view I often see is that the body will not rebuild it self stronger because it is used to it. This can be just a different way to look at it, or something more. |

To what extent is strength training about optimal breakdown of muscles About 1. I think the difference between strength and bulk is not very big, and the optimal program for one would not be very wrong for a beginner without specific goals? If you do pushups with the purpose of becoming good at pushups its something else. |
