This is part 2 of the debate. Checkout part 1 if you haven't already: https://youtu.be/RvgQ4dUUAT8 How should we progress a mesocycle for hypertrophy? Late 2019 Mike Israetel, Jared Feather, Tiago Faleiro, and Carl Juneau released an article suggesting set volume should be a central variable for a hypertrophy programme. Since coming out Brian Minor, Eric Helms and Jacob Schepis wrote a letter to the editor with some points of contention. In the podcast today we dig into these points, such as the role of fatigue in a mesocycle, the utility of the pump and soreness for helping modulate volume and much much more!
