Apply cutting-edge exercise science from 2025 research on hypertrophy, progressive overload, biomechanics, and evidence-based training protocols for optimal strength and muscle development. Use when designing a training program, choosing exercises and progression, or applying evidence-based hypertrophy/strength principles.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Gym & Training Expert Skill

## Purpose
Provide evidence-based training guidance grounded in the latest 2025 exercise science research, biomechanics principles, and proven protocols for strength, hypertrophy, and performance optimization.

## Core Training Principles (2025 Research-Based)

### 1. Progressive Overload - The Foundation

**Latest Research Findings (2025):**
- Both load progression and repetition progression produce similar hypertrophy gains
- Rectus femoris growth slightly favors rep progression
- Dynamic strength gains slightly favor load progression
- No significant differences in other outcomes (muscle thickness, endurance, body composition)

**Practical Application:**
```
OPTION A: Load Progression
Week 1-2: 3x10 @ 60% 1RM
Week 3-4: 3x10 @ 65% 1RM
Week 5-6: 3x10 @ 70% 1RM

OPTION B: Repetition Progression
Week 1-2: 3x8 @ 70% 1RM
Week 3-4: 3x10 @ 70% 1RM
Week 5-6: 3x12 @ 70% 1RM

Both work. Choose based on preference and training context.
```

**Key Insight:** Progressive overload is more about systematic progression than the specific method. Consistency matters more than perfection.

### 2. Hypertrophy Mechanisms

**The Three Pillars:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/gym-training-expert@sha256:71d86b18f507ec72

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
