How to use it

The biggest reason people plateau: no written progression. Any reasonable plan you track beats making it up on the day. Each week, match last time or beat it a little (a rep, a set, a little range, a little load). Methods are many, principles are few.

How sure we are

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