What’s the one book or paper you would recommend?


sorry, i'm not sure what you mean. i can't recommend any books or papers. on the one hand i'm not a scientist myself, on the other hand i have no idea what you're interested in or what is relevant for you.

but if i'd have to recommend ONE book, i'd say https://www.parktool.com/en-us/product/big-blue-book-of-bicy... - because you can't exercise at all on your bike if it's broken

for random study reviews: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/research-spotlight/ , for nutrition and supplements: https://examine.com/ , for cycling, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/c/DylanJohnsonCycling


Thanks!

I was referring to what you said about reading.

>i began spending a lot of time reading about exercising instead


oh, usually what came up on https://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom/

if there's something interesting going on in the field of (strength) training science, it'll be linked and discussed there.

tbh., the guys there seem to adhere to the scientific method a lot more than the software developers i know.
