Morpho-biomechanics, under the lens
The lead investigation: how limb length, muscle insertion, and lever geometry shape the load you actually move. Read the evidence, then test your own numbers.
Latest research
Fresh from the lab desk
Three recent breakdowns, each with its reading time and topic badge, ready to read in one sitting.

Morpho-biomechanics: why limb length changes your squat
How segment lengths and insertion points alter torque at each joint, and what that means for stance and load selection.
Hypertrophie · 11 min
One-rep max: estimate, method, and error
Why 1RM equations are useful predictions rather than measurements, and how to test them safely across a training block.

TDEE explained: estimating energy spend without guesswork
What total daily energy expenditure includes, where estimates drift, and how to adjust intake with evidence rather than hype.
The four lab pillars
Biomécanique, Hypertrophie, Nutrition, Récupération
01
Biomécanique
How joints, levers, and tissues shape movement, force, and technique.
02
Hypertrophie
What the evidence says about muscle growth, volume, and load.
03
Nutrition
Energy balance, TDEE, and nutrient timing, separated from marketing.
04
Récupération
Recovery as part of the training plan, not a bonus day.
