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.
However, I notice that if I do that for more than four weeks in a row and I don't switch over to training in the 8 to 12, maybe in 15 repetition range for about a month, well then I can't make continuous progress. I start to actually lose ground. But by switching back and forth, I actually can make continuous progress at least across
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.

I generally follow a program where for about a month, so three to four weeks, I will do all my resistance training in the repetition range of about four to eight repetitions. So that's rather heavy. A few more sets. So it might be anywhere from three to four sets per exercise. Again, still just two exercises. And longer rest between sets, anywhere from two minutes to maybe even four minutes if it's really heavy leg work. And then for the next month, switch to repetition range that's closer to 8 to 12, maybe even 15 repetitions per set, but do fewer sets overall, so maybe just two to three sets per exercise.
