Laws of strength and conditioning:1. Progressive Overload: At whatever you want to improve at, you need to progressively overload. Adaptation is a byproduct of stress (more reps, load, higher complexity, shorter time frame,…)2. Exercises themselves do not determine adaptation.

Operations Research - Answering the why before the what or how.

Statistics - Form a null hypothesis and... See more
