Editorial Policy

How StrengthRegimen approaches content quality, evidence, transparency, and accountability.

Last updated: September 2026

StrengthRegimen is committed to publishing accurate, useful, and transparent strength-training information. This editorial policy describes the standards and principles that guide content on this platform.

Evidence-Informed Approach

Content on StrengthRegimen aims to be evidence-informed. This means:

  • Claims about training methods, exercise physiology, and performance are supported by available research where possible.
  • When established research supports a point, relevant sources are cited or referenced.
  • When evidence is limited or conflicting, this is acknowledged rather than hidden.
  • Practical experience and established coaching conventions are also valued where research is insufficient.

“Evidence-informed” does not mean every statement is backed by a randomized controlled trial. It means that content respects the available evidence and does not contradict it without clear justification.

Transparency in Calculations

When tools and calculators are published, the underlying methods are documented. This includes:

  • The formula or method used
  • The source or origin of the method
  • Known assumptions and limitations
  • Conditions under which the estimate may be less accurate

Users should be able to understand how a number was produced, not just receive a result.

Source Usage

StrengthRegimen references research publications, textbooks, established coaching resources, and recognized authorities in exercise science. Sources are cited where they contribute directly to the content.

The platform does not claim to conduct original scientific research. Content synthesizes and presents existing knowledge in a practical, accessible format.

Updates and Corrections

Strength-training knowledge evolves. When new evidence or corrections require changes to existing content:

  • Content is updated to reflect current understanding.
  • Significant corrections are noted where appropriate so readers can see that the content has been revised.
  • Users are encouraged to report errors through the contact page.

Limitations

StrengthRegimen has inherent limitations that are acknowledged rather than hidden:

  • Content represents general educational information, not individualized advice.
  • Calculators produce estimates based on mathematical models, not precise measurements.
  • Strength standards are based on available data, which may have its own biases and limitations.
  • Not every claim can be verified with high-quality research, and some recommendations are based on practical convention.

Distinction from Professional Advice

Content on this platform is educational and informational. It is not intended to replace:

  • Medical advice from qualified healthcare providers
  • Individualized programming from qualified coaches
  • Professional assessment of injury or health conditions

This distinction is maintained throughout the platform and is reinforced in the disclaimer.

Editorial Independence

StrengthRegimen does not accept payment for content recommendations, tool placements, or editorial decisions. If affiliate relationships or partnerships are established in the future, they will be clearly disclosed and will not influence editorial content or calculator accuracy.

Feedback

Questions, corrections, and feedback about content quality or editorial standards are welcome and can be submitted through the contact page.
