Paul Carter | Hypertrophy | Education on Instagram: "If you can check off these boxes it’s a good bet you’re already “optimized” - ✅ you’re hitting each muscle twice a week - the point of diminishing returns for frequency seems to be at twice a week. If there’s a benefit for 3 times a week in a measurable way there’s currently no longitudinal data to support that. Twice a week in the SUCRA analysis was tops for max gaining with three times a week showing an insignificant difference. So choose a

Insightforge | AI & Data Science on Instagram: "Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is an optimization technique used to reduce a model’s loss and improve its performance. A good way to imagine it is like walking down a hill to reach the lowest point. The gradient tells you the slope and the direction to move downward. But instead of looking at the entire landscape (the full dataset), SGD looks at small random batches of data to estimate the slope at each step. Because it works with smaller sample

alyssa filipovic on Instagram: "Connection isn’t everything… until you realize your lagging muscle group is coincidentally one you have a hard time feeling in your workouts Theeen maybe we need to start focusing on the connection - and sometimes it can just come down to exercise selection Different variables like mobility, stability, even the ergonomics of a machine can affect whether or not you’re really feeling what you’re supposed to and, not all the time, it can affect your progression in th
