As the book progresses, Matt’s critique of the modern hit-points based thinking on recovery is related to (and shown to emerge from) broader ideas on the philosophy of science, neuroscience and neurophysiology, cognitive science, psychology, and several other disciplines I can’t recall here (omitting evolutionary psychology). As a result, Matt begins by criticising the idea that you can’t squat every day by pointing to the success of volume-based programs in Russia and Bulgaria, the lubricative effect of regular lifting on joint mobility, the benefits of volume-based programs for the recovery of tendons, and simply Matt’s personal experience. Following this, Matt’s question can be said to turn from ‘what are the benefits of regular lifting and will it kill me?’ to ‘why did we ask that question in the first place?’. As such, the main purpose of this book is to challenge how people think about recovery by undermining the ideas that sustain contemporary approaches.
