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.

- Greg Slater cautions evidence-based guidelines are good starting points but not fixed rules.
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.
