Using Generalizable Principles in Gym Training
In gym training, using science as the sole basis for a program may not be practical, but extracting generalizable principles from studies to inform training decisions is valuable. While specific programs in studies may not directly apply, combining different principles can form the basis of an effective program. Gym training involves educated guessing based on generalizable principles that seem to hold true across various circumstances, akin to educated betting. Therefore, choosing exercises and making decisions in the gym can be compared to making educated guesses based on principles that are likely to work in most cases.
