Episode notes
Optimal Training Volume
- Do the least amount of strength training work to elicit the most change.
- More work than necessary compromises your body's adaptation and slows results.
Least is Best
- The optimal training volume is also the least amount, not the most you can tolerate.
- Exceeding this optimal volume hinders adaptation and slows progress.
