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! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:41 Main reason for the Letter to the Editor 04:23 Mike's perception of the critique and talking about the reasoning behind the recommendation of 10-20 sets per week 11:56 Response to why 10-20 sets may be too aggressive and actual critique to the paper 15:31 Potential higher risk for injury 20:31 Set progression & MEV to MRV 27:18 Why not keep going if performance is still good? 30:54 Pumps & Soreness 47:44 Predictor of progress & why soreness & pumps are put above performance https://journals.lww.com/nsca-scj/Abstract/9000/Mesocycle_Progression_in_Hypertrophy__Volume.99298.aspx https://journals.lww.com/nsca-scj/Citation/9000/RE__Mesocycle_Progression_in_Hypertrophy__Volume.99236.aspx https://renaissanceperiodization.com/expert-advice/in-defense-of-set-increases-within-the-hypertrophy-mesocycle Thanks, please comment, like and subscribe!
