Most training advice online is generic — a template built for an average body, handed over with a “trust me”. It might even work. You’ll just never know why, and the day it stops working you’re left guessing. I think you deserve better than guesswork.
My background is in engineering, and engineers are allergic to two things: unexamined assumptions and needless complexity. So my approach is simple — learn as much as possible before doing anything. Research the mechanisms, weigh the trade-offs, read the evidence, and then make a deliberate decision instead of a hopeful one.
Theory isn’t the whole story, of course. The moment you apply something, reality pushes back and you have to adapt. But because the groundwork is done, every adjustment comes from an informed place rather than a hunch. That holds for a training block, for nutrition, and for the one topic people love to fixate on: yes, I’m open about being enhanced, and yes, I studied it exhaustively first — but it’s one part of the picture, handled exactly like everything else. Deliberately.
