Framework 274 · in one look
How to use it

Every week, do one thing in training you don't want to do, by your own standard: the cold first set, the drill you avoid, the session alone. Once you enjoy it, it stops counting. Never pain, injury or danger.

How sure we are

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

C Evidence: contested. The research disagrees. Named, so you can stop worrying about it.
