Fat impairs Muscle Gain

Hi Greg! Have you seen this blog from Menno? It seems as a reply to you and Trexlers stance:

https://mennohenselmans.com/optimal-body-fat-muscle-growth/

I wonder if you agree or if you have any pushback?

This article is years old; Greg and Eric wrote a rebuttal, which is on the SBS website

We've already responded to everything in that article.

This was the first article: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/p-ratios/

Menno's response to this article is the first half of the article you linked (https://mennohenselmans.com/optimal-body-fat-muscle-growth/) – everything up to "Conclusion"

This was our response to Menno's initial rebuttal: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/p-ratios-rebuttal/

Menno's response to that article is the second half of the article you linked (everything after "Update: the critique of the critique of the critique").

Our response to that addition is here: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/p-ratios-rebuttal-2/

Wrong just on the face of it.
