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.
if you are doing a set of leg extensions and you get to the point where you think oh my God like I might be able to do one more but that's it you went to a rep in reserve of one that corresponds to an RP of nine
if you're kind of new to this idea of how many reps do I need to do I think reps in reserve is an easier way to think about it
although I think two is probably closer to the Sweet Spot
if you said let me see you do a few more and they were constantly getting four more reps so they four reps in reserve you would say the literature says you're not hitting in a train a high enough training stimulus correct
