Do you control the negative on curls or just chase the pump?

Recovery dictates adaptation, exposure only provides the stimulus.

Most treat symptoms, not underlying physiological mechanisms first.

Mechanism targeting requires understanding cause, often overlooked clinically.

Exposure matters nothing without adequate recovery capacity present.

Only after consistent training and bloodwork

Recovery determines whether exposure builds or breaks tissue.

Symptom relief is faster, easier, and more marketable.

Heavy pulls once weekly recover properly

Many default drugs suppress perception, not dysfunction itself.

Exposure creates signal, recovery determines actual growth outcome.

Intensity cycles matter more than frequency

Recovery is where hypertrophy truly happens physiologically speaking.

Mechanism-based relief needs accurate diagnosis, harder practically.

Focus on training, sleep, nutrition first

Doctors prioritize broad coverage over precise mechanistic targeting.
