What Lactate is & What it ACTUALLY does: 5 Min Phys

Dr. Andy, you just gave the BEST explanation I've ever heard! Thanks so much for sharing. Following now!

Good video, Dr. Galpin. When trying to build muscle mass, here is what seperates the men from the boys, the women from the girls...motivation and pain tolerance. When you can achieve your anaerobic/lactate threshold, and push that red line up each time, you will activate the maximum amount of motor units in a muscle cell, both red and white fibers. Maximum intensity for 1-2 minutes, right to the edge of the glycolictic pathway. Each time you force the nervous system to continue sending neurons to the neuromuscular junction when it doesn't really want to, you increase the excitation threshold, and can tolerate more discomfort each time. I have found drop sets are the best way to do this, because you can really punish the muscles, but protect the connective tissues by giving them a break on each successive drop. This is also the best way to achieve the possibility of hyperplasia.💪☺

My professor included this video on our module this week. I was so stoked to my know my professor knows about you, lol.

Dr said lactate is good. I kept hearing that lactate was bad. They said the quicker we can get rid of it, the better we can perform. This explanation reminds me of why so many people struggle with education.

Very good explanation. I got answer what I wondered for long time.

Thanks for this short presentation. I’ve been reading literature that confirms this and seeing so many videos describing something different. I almost argued with someone to say, No, it is not lactic acid that causes metabolic acidosis. I relented and decided to stay out of that fight.

Dr Galpin a lactate question if you will help. I measure my lactate monthly on my zone 2 training for mitochondrial biogenesis. I keep it 1.7-1.9 mmole for 90 minutes 4 days a week. However, I donate blood every 2 months, the gift of life, and have noticed after donating blood my lactate, at same wattage and heart rate is ridiculously high. How long should it take to arrive at a legitimately accurate level? Your knowledge on Bioenergetics is inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

Good video. But I would disagree about the statement that pyruvate becomes lactate in the absence of O2. Even at rest or low intensity exercise we produce lactate when we have more than enough O2. Lactate production is required to generate NAD molecule, NAD is needed for the glycolysis to keep working.

Your way of explaining things is just so damn beautiful honestly - massive thank you

[idam]

Physiotherapy student here. This explanation is great, thank you!!

[ElliottHinds]

Enjoy your vids Andy. Minor detail: Pyruvate actually picks up 2 protons to become lactate.

You sir are a gem to society. May your brain forever remain intelligent

[katiakrinski]

Finally someone that doesn't make me fall asleep. THANK YOU.

[petecolins-voice]

That is the first explanation I’ve really understood Andy! Thank you!

[peenoomlumkhong]

I watched this with hope that I would understand "lactate" more but ended up with more confusing as I there are more jargons mentioned here. It's not your fault at all Dr.Andy but it's mine as my knowledge/education is so limited. I supposed I need to investigate more what those jargons such as ATP, Pyruvate etc means, once understood them I should come back and watch this clip more. Thank you.

Me siento feliz de haber hecho la búsqueda que me trajo a este video

[greatrulo]

Heya Doctor! Thanks a lot for this very easy to follow session, much appreciated!

[Aqhi]

Understood. Better lecturer than uni lecturers

[abdsamade]

tbh you deserve way more subscribers, so much instructive videos
