10/15/2025: A reminder about the universal principles of training.

Proper overload stimulus + the biological timeline needed for recovery (diet, sleep, and multiple days off) = adaptation. We've known that for decades.

Most over-zealous trainees (but well-intentioned) still believe in the "More is better" doctrine: four days a week? Six? Hell, do it every day. Five sets? Fifteen? Hell, do 30 sets if more is better. That flawed logic drives them.

It's biology, people. Unless someone is using PEDs or is a genetic anomaly, it’s smarter to go harder with less volume in search of the minimal stress or overload that produces the maximum results.
