Movement and evidence

Supercompensation is a simplified training model proposing that performance capacity may rebound above baseline after a recoverable training stress; timing and magnitude are not fixed. Exercise setup and variation change joint demands and muscle contribution. The cited evidence supports specific tested conditions, not universal isolation or one mandatory technique.
