52 sets a week to maximize gains....REALLY?
Oct 18, 2023
Chris and Paul discuss the effects of progressing volume in a training study, analyzing the optimal number of sets and stimulating reps for maximizing gains. They also compare different rest periods in volume literature and explore the increase in muscle volume and its effects on the body. The hosts discuss practical solutions for maximizing gains without technology, delve into the physiology of achieving high levels of recruitment, and highlight the improvement in the quality of debates and arguments concerning physiology and exercise. They also discuss the belief and understanding of the range of motion effects in muscle training.
