Framework 182 · in one look
How to use it

When a week is overloaded, drop to the floor, not to zero: one session a week with one hard set of each main movement, two short conditioning sessions at the usual intensity, five minutes of skill a day. Cut sets first, then sessions. Never cut intensity first.

How sure we are

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
