Articles

Evidence-based writing on training, hypertrophy, and programming — the research translated into decisions you can make in your next session, with the sources attached.

The first articles are being written

Nothing is published yet — and rather than fill this page with something that reads like an article but isn't, here is exactly what the first pieces cover.

  1. Planned

    Volume and the dose-response curve

    How much work a muscle actually needs, where the returns flatten, and what the landmark ranges are really measuring.

  2. Planned

    Progression that survives a full block

    Adding load is one lever of several. Which to pull, when, and how to tell a stall from a bad week.

  3. Planned

    Reading your own training data

    What a trend line can and cannot tell you, and the readings people most often get backwards.

The long view

A library, not a content strategy

Curative writes about training because understanding the mechanism is what makes a lifter independent of whoever wrote their program. That is a body of work, and it is being built one piece at a time.

  • Hypertrophy
  • Volume and recovery

  • Exercise selection
