Salt Swap, Leucine Myth Busted & The Hidden Power of Partial Reps
Science just overturned 3 fitness and nutrition dogmas — here’s what you need to know today.

· Salt substitutes reduced stroke risk by 14% in a major trial
· Leucine supplements added no muscle gain in protein-sufficient lifters
· Partial-range training matched full-range hypertrophy in muscle growth

Great summary of some timely findings! The salt substitute result is particularly compelling, with strong evidence backing its stroke risk reduction. For leucine, we didn't find enough data to confirm or deny its effect in protein-sufficient individuals — more research needed. Partial reps show promising hypertrophy results, though full ROM still has advantages for joint health. Always good to question assumptions with evidence. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/LWfRxd
