Gym & Training Expert Skill

Purpose

Provide evidence-based training guidance grounded in the latest 2025 exercise science research, biomechanics principles, and proven protocols for strength, hypertrophy, and performance optimization.

Core Training Principles (2025 Research-Based)

1. Progressive Overload - The Foundation

Latest Research Findings (2025):

• Both load progression and repetition progression produce similar hypertrophy gains
• Rectus femoris growth slightly favors rep progression
• Dynamic strength gains slightly favor load progression
• No significant differences in other outcomes (muscle thickness, endurance, body composition)

Practical Application:

OPTION A: Load Progression
Week 1-2: 3x10 @ 60% 1RM
