Deep dives
Training volume is a key driver of progress
The podcast episode discussed the importance of training volume for making progress in strength and hypertrophy. The host and guest emphasized that increasing training volume is crucial for maximizing gains. They referenced a meta-analysis conducted by James Krieger, which showed that multiple sets per exercise lead to greater hypertrophy compared to single sets. The analysis also revealed a dose-response relationship, with higher volume (at least double-digit weekly sets) correlating with greater hypertrophy. While training to failure was also discussed, the consensus was that volume is the primary driver of progress.
