Most performance content is built on opinion dressed up as expertise. Vague advice, recycled talking points, and recommendations designed to sell products rather than produce results.
Peak Protocol exists because that isn’t good enough.
What This Is
Peak Protocol is a science-based performance resource covering the variables that actually move the needle — training, recovery, sleep, and biometric data. Every article is built on peer-reviewed research, real-world application, and honest analysis. No sponsorships that compromise the science. No fluff that sounds good but changes nothing.
The goal is simple: give you the clearest possible picture of what the evidence actually says, and translate it into something you can use tomorrow morning.
What We Cover
Training and load management — periodization, volume, progressive overload, and how to structure work that compounds over time rather than burning you out.
Recovery science — what actually works, what’s marketing, and how to use data from wearables to make smarter decisions about when to push and when to pull back.
Sleep and circadian rhythm — the most underrated performance variable most people are getting wrong, and the research-backed protocols to fix it.
Biometric data — HRV, sleep stages, recovery scores, and how to interpret the numbers your wearable gives you so they actually inform your decisions.
“Most people optimise the variables that are easy to see. Peak Protocol covers the ones that are easy to ignore — because those are the ones that compound.”
Who’s Behind This
My name is Adam. I’m a business student currently based in North America, and I’ve spent the last several years obsessing over the intersection of data, performance, and human biology — not as a professional, but as someone who genuinely can’t stop reading the research.
I built Peak Protocol because I wanted a resource I didn’t have to fact-check before trusting. If you’re the kind of person who wants to understand why something works before you do it — this is built for you.
The Standard
Every claim on this site is either backed by peer-reviewed research, clearly labelled as anecdotal, or explicitly flagged as an area where the evidence is mixed. If something isn’t supported by the science, it won’t be presented as if it is.
That’s the only standard worth having.
