Tempo, long rest, tempo

I’ll be brief, but where is the literature that says a “lactic environment” (perhaps a definition of this might make things more clear) destroys mitochondria within muscle cells? Without some context and basis, this statement kinda detracts substantially from the rest of your post. I am not going to argue about whether or not we want or don’t want lactic in tempo, but to say it destroys mitochondria?

This is covered extensively in overseas research.

In short, the increased acidosis generated during lactic efforts, specifically when the 4mmol mark is approached and surpassed, destroys the mitochondria in the active skeletal muscle fibers.
