390: High Volume Training - Brad Schoenfeld, Milo Wolf & Dr. Pak

Nov 18, 2023
Brad Schoenfeld, Milo Wolf, and Dr. Pak discuss a recent high-volume study, addressing concerns about hypertrophy measurement, junk volume, rest times, escalating volume, and the dose-response relationship with training volume. They provide practical takeaways and delve into the benefits of blood flow restriction training. The speakers also discuss the need for studies comparing training methods and the limitations of studying training volume in isolation. Additionally, they explore the concept of pushing limits through supervised training and express gratitude for the guests on the podcast.

Quick takeaways

  • Higher volumes of training can lead to slightly better gains in muscle hypertrophy.
  • Blood flow restriction (BFR) training can be beneficial for muscle hypertrophy, especially for those with joint or injury concerns.

Volume and Muscle Growth: The Role of Junk Volume

The study discussed the concept of 'junk volume' and whether it actually exists. The participants in the study increased their quad training volume over time, and the study found that higher volumes led to slightly better gains in muscle hypertrophy. The study also addressed the concern of measuring muscle hypertrophy accurately and examined the effects of rest times, fire perch fee, eccentric movements, and tempo on muscle growth. Overall, the study concluded that, while junk volume is a theoretical concept, the focus should be on higher volumes contributing to more muscle growth rather than worrying about junk volume.
