The model posited two axes: velocity (metabolic and neural throughput, set primarily by thyroid hormone) and stability (structural buffering, provided by androgen signaling). Training in the zone where velocity slightly exceeds stability forces adaptation; too much velocity without proportional stability produces brittle, non-retained gains.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
