We map the nine training adaptations, the law of progressive overload, and the exact levers that drive strength, size, and endurance. Clear protocols, simple hydration math, and smart use of breathing, heat, and cold turn guesswork into growth.
• defining nine adaptations and why fat loss is a byproduct
• progressive overload as the non‑negotiable driver
• six variables that control outcomes in training
• using RPE and reps in reserve for intensity
• strength protocol: >85% load, long rests, smart supersets
• hypertrophy: near‑failure effort and weekly volume targets
• intent: fast intent for strength, mind‑muscle for size
• three‑to‑five template for simple strength programming
• endurance: low‑eccentric starts, zone two, VO2 max dosing
• muscular endurance for posture and injury prevention
• recovery checks: grip strength, tap test, CO2 tolerance
• downregulation breathing to switch off adrenaline
• hydration and sodium guidelines with practical math
• cold timing to avoid blunted growth, sauna benefits
• choosing adaptation versus optimization across seasons
