Episode notes
Minimum Effective Dose vs. Optimal Volume
- Minimum Effective Dose (MED) suggests training with the lowest effective volume.
- However, Dr. Israetel argues for optimal volume, finding a balance between minimum and maximum.
The Volume Range for Gains
- Productive training exists between Minimum Effective Volume (MEV) and Maximum Recoverable Volume (MRV).
- Start at MEV and gradually increase towards MRV, then deload and repeat.
Leverage Maintenance Volume
- Maintain muscle with lower volume than needed for growth.
- Prioritize specific training goals by reducing volume in other areas.
