INSIGHT

Resistance Training Is Foundational Health Work

  • Resistance training delivers broad health benefits beyond aesthetics, often outperforming cardio for many outcomes except VO2max.
  • Gregg Slater argues resistance training should be as routine as brushing teeth for long-term health.
INSIGHT

Science Gives Starting Points Not Answers

  • Hypertrophy research is 'fuzzy' with short-term studies on untrained people and big individual responses.
  • Greg Slater cautions evidence-based guidelines are good starting points but not fixed rules.
ADVICE

Start With Guidelines Then Personalise

  • Start programming with evidence-based ballparks then test and recalibrate per client response.
  • Measure recovery, progress and subjective feedback to tailor volume and intensity.
