Tom is another intelligent and deep thinking coach. He has the ability to get his ideas across in a succinct and straightforward manner. An inspiration to the serious athlete. I understand my own training pitfalls a bit better now. Especially the "Download phase." I am 73 years old and when I get to 120 years I hope Tom is still coaching.
This is first time it finally all makes sense. Thanks, Tom. I’ve been watching videos and reading articles for over a year and I am not unintelligent but it just wasn’t coming together in my mind. I think a lot of content providers assume that everyone already knows this fundamental information. Or, they explain it in a way that is either oversimplified or overcomplicated. This really hit the mark for me and put me in a position to create a sensible, hopefully effective, program.
Please make a program for mental 5 year olds like me. I'm not good at programming, every time I try hypertrophy work it turns into heavy triples/doubles/singles. A basic hypertrophy program for home gym users focusing on squat/bench/deadlift/OHP/shitloads of lat work utilizing these principles would be fucking sweet. I'm just not smart enough to do it for myself. The proceeds of this program could even go to the podcast because I live in Canada and shipping/exchange rate is absolute murder and makes me sad. Love you Tom, I'm always excited to see you here.
Crazy quality information presented here! Shame that other flashier videos with less substance get all the clicks. People focus on subpar material and wonder why they get subpar results 🤦♂️
Question : If that "only last few reps are effective", does this imply that myo-reps is exclusively better than any other set structure ? You keep something quite light, and you can just do 25 effective reps in few minutes. I understand the beauty of the effective reps model, but doesn't it sound oversimplified, meaning that any sets above 5RIR are totally ineffective to anything ?
Not inherently. Myo reps is just a very good way of accumulating a high number of MERs for a lower amount of total workload. Sets less intense than 5RIR are not "ineffective for anything" per se. For example, proximity to failure has been shown to have little to no effect on strength development (provided correct loading is just). Likewise, lower load work in higher rep ranges can have benefits for tendon development and mitochondrial function. So are there some benefits to less intense work? Yes. But this video is explicitly about hypertrophy. In the realm of hypertrophy lower intensity sets can only stimulate gains through the production of growth factors (like MGF1) in relation to the accumulation of lactic acid and hydrogen ions. But while this can and does stimulate hypertrophy, its role is MUCH smaller than that achieved by mechanical tension
I just downed 7 whole eggs in 1min 45 secs, I realized that by the time on the video, wasn't attempting anything, jus observing. I think that may cause me some hypertrophy considering it was a week of overeaching training. löl
....yeah just listening on with the video, it's just amazing how so many people in the gym don't make much gain, too much junk volume and the need to recuiperate that rather than to build the muscle. Great explanation once again Tom Shepperd, thank you.

More Tom! He's simply a wealth of knowledge and I feel so much smarter everytime I listen to one of his vids.
That was absolutely the best and most detailed explanation ever recorded.
7 minutes in and already a phenomenal amount of information....thank you
I missed this guy! More videos with him
Awesome stuff once again from Tom. Thanks to Tom and Elitefts.

Yes! Tom is amazing. I love your collabs 🤘
God bless Tom sheppard, I haven't finished the video yet but fantastic so far
Nicely explained. Enjoying your Whole Body Training E-book Tom. Extemely rational and well thought out approach. Thank you!

Love you Tom, I'm always excited to see you here.
Great video! Interesting how the volume recommendation is a bit different than the usual 10-20 sets per week.
One of the best vids about hypertrophy on youtube.
Very enlightening lecture. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge
Excellent presentation 🔥🤘🏼
incredible information, gold standard stuff here.
That’s really well explained !
Very informative. Thanks.
Killer info, Tom, thank you!
Best and most simple video I've seen so far and fuck...have I seen a lot - well done and thank you
My favorite part is that you say "hyper-trophy" instead of "hy-pertrophy"... Sometimes
Awesome video. Great explanation.
That was a master class in breaking shit down Barney style.
