What the video covers

Does your strength change by phase? 21 studies: no differences in strength between phases (Blagrove et al., 2020). 78 studies: only a trivial drop in the first days (McNulty et al., 2020). 12 trials: exercise may ease period pain (Armour et al., 2019, Cochrane). Train normally; ease off when you feel worse. The video ends by showing how to create the routine in Progrevia.
