• Energy Systems: ATP/Phosphagen, Glycolytic, and Oxidative
• Resistance Training Rep Ranges: Power, Strength and Endurance
• Resistance Training Cycles: Hypertrophy, Strength, Power
• Training Cycles: Macro, Meso, and Micro.

Hopefully, I can be as critical a part of your daily reading as the WSJ.
