I was hoping the “nerd” aspect referred to an emphasis on theoretical aspects (less charitably called “broscience”). I assume a lot of other HN commenters like me tended to research and study fitness when first diving into it.

The article has some good information, but I was disappointed in the execution. As disappointed as when George from Stranger Things caught his best friend Mark kissing his crush Ellie after they’ve killed a monster while listening to A-Ha (I assume that’s what usually happens on the show).
