At the University of South Florida, we have an isokinetic unit from "Speede" in our lab, and I must say, it’s one of the most challenging training experiences I’ve ever had! While I’m grateful for the opportunity to try it, I don’t think I’ll be returning for another round anytime soon. After just five reps on the bicep curl, taking about 90 seconds to complete the set-I ended up with slightly bruised biceps and has. Similar experience to Josh! I was sore for days! It was definitely an eye-opening experience!
Very Low Intensity / Very High Frequency training inquiry: Lets say I work from home and there is a park in front of my house. I work for 50 min and then take a break, go to the park and do a set of chin ups, many reps shy from failure (Depending on the exercise). I repeat this process many times with different excercises. My idea is that by stimulating the muscles a bit but many times through the day, the total stimulus would be the same. And by doing just 1 set I can stave off the fatigue. Any thoughts?
I Wonder If at a advanced Stage you have to priotize a muscle group with more Volume intensity maybe even frequency and put all other on maintainece. And If a dirty Bulk maybe Work If you train more, that there IS a benefit which only Show with Training more
Ideally I would go more through maintenance as full body once a week and keep hitting a smaller area for the rest of training. There is a thing as finite resources, especially depending on age and nutrition. It makes sense that resources need to be optimized in order to obtain maximum result. I am still making gains with full body at 45 but, as imaginable, are stupid slow. Given the absence of any training till my 30ies it is normal to pack very slowly but definitely possible. Swelling occurs and also is heavily affected by nutrition.
When i Stopp Training for example high Volume arm Training or reduce IT Just do Some Sets of pull ups and presses, for an week= the real growth without swelling?
Main takeaway: I really wanna try that isokinetic device now
Lmao @GVS, got your book SWEAT and love your content

Great discussion guys, enjoyed the video! It’s great to see more in depth discussions being had on the dose response relationship to hypertrophy.
Twitching for the guys to get to the strength side of the volume and frequency research!! 🙏
8:30 it would be cool if you guys broke down exactly what we are seeing here, for those of us that aren’t familiar with ultrasounds

I am swelling in response to this video
