That’s literally not how lifting works lol

You can’t do a 1x3 in place of a 5x3 and expect similar results

20% of my ass produces 80% of the doo doo.

20% of the bees produce 80% of the honey.

the pareto principle is when there’s inequality.

80% of muscle gain is built by 20% of the repetitions.

LOL that’s just incel ideology, it’s the exact same shit as “80% of FEEEMALES only fuck the 20% of CHAAADS”

It’s not a principle it’s a statistical distribution

20% of alcohol drinkers consume 80% of the alcohol. I actually believe that one, used to be in the 20%

It’s useful because in 20% of work I can get 80% of a good result. That’s usually good enough, so 80% of the day i do fuck all

That’s basically it. It’s just “80% of x is caused by 20% of y” or vice versa. It’s not a real principle, just a thought terminating cliche.

Glancing at the Wiki page, it seems like it comes from this dude realizing “Whoa. In Italy 80% of the land is owned by 20% of the population” and that being used to create this “principle” to apply to other things.

A reasonable person might ask “Damn why is land ownership so messed up?” To which the economist replies “Well clearly it’s just the natural state of the world.”
