Strength is, to a large degree, a skill. When we train to be stronger, we are training not just a muscle to be bigger, but we are training out brain and muscles to be more effective. This study from 1981 is a testament to this: 18 sets x 1RM in bench press, 5 days a week After 9 weeks results in 42 lbs increase in max bench press. So, be strong, be skillful.

About longevity: Based on a lot of in vivo reports, consuming a diet mainly consisting of meat (best is beef for most people) Instantly does what most Calorie Restricting studies do...and why they get those results. Imo its about lowering body fat %, increasing muscle strenght, and to some extent, volume. Also, it contains most of the most Longevity compounds like taurine and creatine especially. Diet rich in meat is high satiety because of high protein, and is well tolerated (non allergenic). For best longevity results its probably best combined with time restricted feeding in order to minimize mTOR activation. But this is actually not a problem because its the easiest way to get to right amount of protein and nutrients because of the high nutrient density of meats. So 19-5 TRF is totally doable.

I have hope for life, man!
