Hello friends. When you visit a clinic for tendon pain, your care provider writes down your plan. Sometimes two different care providers might write down the exact same exercise name. Yet, the actual work can look very different in real life.
What's new
A recent report asks why health experts should write down the exact load behind certain movements instead of just using a general name. Right now, one person might finish their sets feeling very comfortable with easy reps left over. At the same time, another person might work much closer to their limit.
What it means for you
Names alone do not tell the whole story. Knowing the exact weight or load used helps make sure your movement plan fits your true needs.
One small thing to try
Write down simple notes about how your body feels after gentle daily movement so you can share them later.
