Training Tip of the Day: Understand Stimulus-to-Fatigue Ratio While Choosing Exercises
When choosing exercises, think of the stimulus-to-fatigue ratio (STF). Pick movements that give you the most gains with the least fatigue. Heavy squats? Great stimulus, but high fatigue. Goblet squats? Lower fatigue, still solid stimulus. It’s all about efficiency — maximize muscle growth while keeping recovery in check. So next time you're planning your workout, think: What’s going to give me the most bang for my buck without draining my energy tank? Smart choices lead to better results and fewer sore days!
