After starting hitting the gym and clicking on a few videos (workouts, excercises etc) my feeds started being dominant with science hypertrophy. Probably because one of my favorite home cooks, Adam Ragusea because of his lean on actual published science, did a piece with Renaissance Periodization so cross pollination happened. And then it spiraled from here from the folks RP works with. And now it is so filled with science hypertrophy and that approach to lifting.
Now honestly I don’t think I prioritize hypertrophy that much. I do appreciate it. But overall I’m more interested in making sure my body is as strong and athletic as possible so it can weather the ravages of time and daily life.
So I need a bit of help populating my feeds with “strength science lifters” and happily take recommendations. Those I already have are Strength Side (more athleticism and movement though) and The Bioneer (not the most concrete actionable content).

Strength hasn’t really changed all that much. The soviets kind of had unmatched sample sizes and decades of work into empirically determining how to gain strength, they kind of got us 80% of the way there. I think the only real unique advancement has been showing RPE works. Although you could argue that Soviet coaches were using its older cousin for decades.
Much of the stuff is just reworking old Soviet concepts and refining them. Things like MEV and MRV are variations on customizing number of lifts.
But I guess more cutting edge science would be reactive training systems and juggernaut training. CWS did a lot of work with the RP crew (and IIRC was who got Greg Nuckols started on the internet.)
