The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
What you want to do with exercise selection here is make sure that you're balancing those exercises across the whole week. Not within necessarily every workout. So if you have four days a week, five days a week, you want to look at the exercise selection and say, OK, I need to have somewhat of a reasonable balance between movement patterns, or muscle groups, or front and back, side to side, however you're thinking of it, just across that week.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So really, when it comes to exercise choice, it is selecting the patterns that you know how to execute. Giving yourself, again, somewhat of a balance between the muscles, and the joints, and the movement patterns. Making sure that you are specifically targeting any muscle group or movement that you want.
