ANECDOTE

Bryan Borstein's Low-Volume Experiment

Bryan Borstein shares his personal experience with low-volume, high-intensity training during bike season.

ADVICE

Progress Is Crucial

Ensure your training volume allows you to progress consistently to optimize hypertrophy.
Avoid volumes that hinder progress by overwhelming your recovery capability.

INSIGHT

Volume Needs Vary by Muscle

As training age increases, individual muscle imbalances require tailored volume across muscle groups.
Specializing volume by targeting weak muscles periodically optimizes overall hypertrophy.
