Effects of Decreasing Training Volume on Muscle Growth and Maintenance
The chapter explores a study comparing low-frequency and high-frequency training protocols among well-trained individuals, focusing on the impact of reducing training volume on muscle growth and maintenance. It discusses the findings of the study showing that a 50% decrease in volume can maintain muscle growth while complete detraining leads to muscle mass loss. The speakers analyze the implications of volume, rest periods, and frequency on muscle growth, emphasizing the need for context and study design in making conclusions.
