correct. So it's forty sets per cession. And they're trying to get 16 sets per mussel group, a per week. So since the only hamp string exercise they were doing was hampstring curls, they did 16 sets of hampstring curls in a row an one workout. Course. Totally reasonable, right? So you're probably thinking, like, ok, that's great that they're doing a high volume eric that might be comparable. The distributionis kind of whacky. Are they stacking the deck in favor of twuaday, maybe, is my answer. So i think we do have to remember that when you look at a research portecals, we're trying to ascertain the answer to a question, not to necessarily perfectly replicate what will be done in practice. And you're balancing control with ecological validity. So just keep that mit. All right. Anyway, thursday we're going back to a that that very similar protocol with what they did on mondayits the same thing, bench press flies, triceps squats, leg extension. And then friday, again, they're repeating the a that the second session. So they're doing 32 sets in total, and is up for each muscele group. I' sorry i said 16 before, but that's a procession. So they did 16 sets of lying leg curls one day, 16 sets of lying leg curls on another day, on tuesday and friday. So all that the two a day group did was they just split into an a, m p m and just cut the sets in half. So that means, instead of doing eight sets of bench all in one session, they did four sets of bench in the morning, four sets of bench in the evening, four sets of flat flies, four sets of flat flies, et cetera, eight sets of leg curls, then eight sets of leg curls later. So you can just look at it and be ok, these sessions are far more reasonable, you know. And we got trained individuals doing a very high volume protocal. Like we're doing 32 sets per mossi group like, ok, this is, this is wild, right? So

this case, they did specifically observe that strength gains were higher in the group that was training two a day. However, there wasn't a significant difference between groups in terms of their bice quadruceps, either one of the sihts or their pecks, a hypertrophy. So something for strength not necessarily observed for hyperdrophy. But hey, you know, it's, it's, it is overall, kind like, we would say neutral depositive if you're viewing it from a body blitter lens, it is just obviously positive if you're viewing it from a power lifter lens, or just a strength lens in general. So i think that is example werehay, if we meet these criteria, now we're starting to see how it could possibly benefit someone, which is interesting.
