   E104: Sets and Reps Don't Think

They explore the variables that shape program design, how training must adapt to the individual and the context, and why critical thinking and understanding underlying principles are what separate a program that looks good on paper from one that actually works. https://www.pre-script.com/programming https://www.instagram.com/coachjamesmac/ https://www.instagram.com/thayer2513/ PSL1 Registration Is Live!
