    Could I get some simple examples of the Pareto principle?

    I googled but the results were a copypasta orgy of crap...

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

      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."

      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

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

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