No matter what your training age or level of advancement, it’s important to understand that generalized rules won’t be universally applicable to YOU and YOUR specific circumstances. I can do my best to give refined and detailed recommendations for intensity and volume and exercise selection across a vast spectrum of use cases and applications, but at the end of the day, we’re all genetic and environmental snowflakes.

And if you really want to take hold of your training and be able to customize it according to your intensity needs, we will need to propose a framework for how to approach the base case (i.e. the average) as well as the long-tail of variability within our sample population (i.e. the outliers).
