Intro
This chapter explores the relationship between training volume and muscle hypertrophy, challenging the notion that more is always better. It discusses the implications of recent research, offers practical training advice, and emphasizes the role of individual factors in achieving muscle growth.
In this episode of the Revive Stronger podcast, Dr. Eduardo De Souza joins us to dissect the latest research on training volume and muscle hypertrophy.
We explore how recent meta-analyses have shaped the 'more is better' narrative, these studies' critical limitations and caveats, and the distinction between statistical significance and real-world application.
Dr. De Souza also shares practical advice on individualising volume based on training goals, experience, and recovery capacity, while avoiding diminishing returns.
Whether you’re a lifter looking to optimise your training or a coach striving to stay evidence-based, this episode is packed with insights to help you cut through the noise and make smarter decisions in your programming.
