Fitness industry myth busting, physiology lessons and tips for personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts.
How do you know you did enough (or too much) in a workout?
Muscle soreness? The pump? Sensation? Performance? Subjective recovery?
Most goal-setting approaches focus on the wrong things, which is why it's so common to lose the initial momentum and excitement of goal setting so quickly.

How does your brain choose which muscle to use during an exercise?
The nervous system ‘matches’ the areas of the muscle with the best leverage to the task. But there are also individual differences, even when using the same exercises.
We don’t always recruit the same muscle or even the same muscle regions with an exercise.
This has been shown in studies. Different parts of the same muscle can grow asymmetrically depending on the exercise used.
The holy grail. Lose fat, build muscle at the same time.
Recomping is hard, but possible. The biological processes that grow muscle and burn fat compete with each other. The fastest way to lose fat is via a calorie deficit. Building muscle is fastest in a surplus. But it is possible to hit maintenance calories and do both. It's much easier under some circumstances.
Exercise selection is a rabbit hole. And once you've found your 'perfect' program - how and when do you change it? It's all about finding balance between personal preference, making progress, and optimising for performance over time.
