Why are strength programs made the way they are - much of the same, regular intervals, same program for a long time Also i want short-term results, not to build towards being able to train like a bodybuilder. |

Why are strength programs made the way they are - much of the same, regular intervals, same program for a long time I want to be generally fit, not just good at one particular way of doing pull-downs. (variation should be better). |

How to optimize effort? This question is about reward/effort, but I think most people look more at for example reward/time (I don't think you need 50% more reward to work 50% harder). For me anyway it is better to look at reward/pain separately (With "energy" as negative pain). AFAIK the inflammation is much less with small muscle breakdown, so the best reward/pain is with a low level of breakdown (balanced against reward/time), and it is best to target for example a small steady increase in muscle mass. |

How to optimize effort? Perhaps not overtraining, but "pain" (soreness) is an issue. |

How to optimize effort? I tried to make it as narrow as possible :-) |

Continuous heart rate monitor From their FAQ: Basis does not measure minute-by-minute for specific athletic heart rate training or medical uses. |

How to optimize effort? I don't think one can attach score to everything, but we know something. Like that strength sessions should be spread out, and that the effects of a bike-trip depends on the other things that you do that week (How is the question :-) Also there are reasons to think that a slow increase in effort and results is a good place to be. |

How to optimize effort? I like all kind of measurements and assessments (But not goals :-) In this question I am thinking of effort related aspects like aerobic capacity, strength, ability to take strain (Like the strain running put on the legs) and to press the limit to overtraining. These has in common that they can also cause pain, fatigue and overtraining, so balance optimization is more important than for example yoga. |

How to optimize effort? Effort distribution is not only about hard/easy days. Days with interval could be seen as easy in some ways, hard in other ways. |

How to optimize effort? Perhaps to balance challenge vs overtraining. If you have 2 hard days, those are challenging. Doing it at that level every day would be overtraining. |

How to optimize effort? It illustrates the goal better, and I think perhaps the danger for overtraining is higher for things that are hard for the muscles? On er other hand aerobic effort is easier to measure. |

How to optimize effort? If i do the same strength program Mondays and Tuesdays it is less optimal than Mondays and Thursdays. That is what is relevant in this question.Further it is interesting to know benefits/time and benefits/pain The goal is only important if you go beyond general fitness. |
