Justin (spoken; edited for reading):

A good example of that is sarcoplasmic growth. You can go look back at the Wikipedia logs from 8, 9 years ago. It wasn't until maybe 2018 or something when we did a Muscle Mentor video on it last time I was down here. They were still not accepting that. Wikipedia would still take the sarcoplasmic portion down, put it back up. The science wasn't even accepting that. So imagine guys start working out in the 1980s and all the way up until 2012 they insist that anyone doing any effort that focuses on blood volume or sarcoplasmic growth is completely wasting their time.

Only the next year to realize that science finally says no, that's actually a big component of muscle growth. Now those people that only believe the science, they lost 20 years, their entire career of suboptimal progress.

And that pops up all the time, like delayed onset muscle soreness. If you believed that that was the only indicator of muscle growth, that's what people believed until just very recently. Now those same people who, the muscle soreness cracks me up because the same people who for 15 years would say, if you're not, someone would post something and all the comments would be, you didn't get sore, there's no way you made growth.
