> Minimum effective doses are powerful. But, they require precision.

And it's also important to think about the fact that an MED doesn't get you the biggest effect size. It's the minimum to get a desired effect, but that doesn't mean you get the most of that effect.

You may get more fit in 20 minutes per week than if you did zero, but you certainly can't match someone who works out 5 times a week.

An MED is great for something necessary you want to get out of the way. But this kind of thinking takes the joy out of doing things you thoroughly enjoy and perfecting minute details nobody else will ever care about, just because you care so much about the craft.
