When I read "American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand" I cannot but be reminded of the late Dr Ralph Carpinelli's enjoyable critique[1] of the ACSM's position on strength training in 2009. I wonder if their recommendations have changed?

Google scholar link since that one didn't work for me: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Chal...

Yikes, didn't realize that the 2009 stand included a few really silly things like that. Yes, the 2026 stand is overall pretty decent and doesn't have much objectionable in it.

If you read the linked paper, you will wonder no more.
