    I find volume (and intensity) directly proportional to gains but inversely proportional to social life and a clean and organized home.

    Something to add on, recent studies have shown that undulating periodization may be more beneficial than block or linear periodization. Linear periodization is what Brad discussed in the video, having phases up to 8 weeks of high volume followed by phases of lower volume. While undulating periodization is alternating intensity and volume daily or weekly. For example:
    Day 1: Heavy leg day, work up to 90%1rm
    Day 2: High volume chest day, 8 reps minimum
    Day 3: Heavy deadlift day, 5 reps maximum.
    Day 4: High volume shoulders day, you get the point.
    One unquantifiable benefit of undulating periodization is the variety. You have days you get to look forward to telling gravity to fuck off and you have days for that sick pump. Doing only strength or only hypertrophy for periods of time gets boring. Just a few tips for you fella swole bros out there. Cheers!

    For the last year, I've been on a 3-week mesocycle training schedule - strength, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance. The volume, weight, sets, rep ranges, slow eccentrics, etc., vary from week to week. I've also implemented those "Meadows rows" during my back sessions. My back has expanded GREATLY! Thank you, John! You are appreciated. No doubt about it.

  • @raffaelecorrente1123
    @raffaelecorrente1123 6 лет назад +2

    Thanks for the interview!
    I read the paper yesterday and have several thought/question about this topic.
    a) first of all, are the greater gains related to an increase in myofibril proteins or are they related to an increase in sacroplasmatic proteins?
    b) the authors used 10 sets/muscle group/session for upper body. This is the volume many researches suppose to be give the best results. So, from this prospective, Schoenfeld's study says nothing new. What if they used an higher volume for upper body? Can this be harmful?
    c) The more sets we do, the less benefits we get from every single sets. What if we reduce the single session volume and increase the frequency at the same time? (for example, we have 6 training sessions/5 sets per muscle instead than 3 sessions/10 sets per muscle group)
    d) the guys having the very high volume training in this experiment performed something like 50 total sets per workout. This is a very high volume to handle in a single workout. I do not if they trained the upper or the lower body parts first. Anyway, I can guess that they were tired when they trained the last muscle group.
    What if they splitted the upper and lower body parts, training six times per week?
    e) the very high volume group got more muscle in the short period. But what about long period? overtraining apart, I suppose that after a while, the very high volume should stop making gains while the other groups could continue to progress.
    f) 50+50 doen't necessarily means 100. If I put the water on the fire 2 times and every time and the water reaches 50°, it won't boil. To boil it needs to reach 100°. Can we apply this concept to muscle gains? Are 7 sets 6 times per week the same as 42 sets three times per week? Muscle growth is an adaptation to a mechanical stimulus. If the stimulus is not 100% for the single session, will the muscle grow having 2 sessions at 50%?

  • @Nykau

    Just wanted to say that this is truly one of the best bodybuilding channels on RUclips! Doing the Taskmaster right now and I am loving it, some of the workouts are brutal!

    With very busy long days and Heavy outdoor construction work I can no longer spend everyday in the gym or do very specific workouts for muscle groups so I went back to basics, 2 exercises for chest, back and shoulders with 5sets per exercise, and superset bicep tricep 4-5sets. Rest next day, legs and abs after that day around 8-10 sets, another rest day before starting over again but I switch out exercises every second pass and cycle between 6-10 or 15-20reps depending on soreness

    Volume of 12-20 sets per body part EACH workout works best for me. To combat that I do push, pull, legs am and pm workouts. So on pull day am 12 sets for biceps, 8-12 forearms. Pm back as in lats 15-20 sets, 6 traps, 6 lower back. You will be exhausted every week but you push through. I allways gain strength even when on a diet. I do it year round. The only time my volume drops is on my diet here or there for a week or two. Sometimes I have to drop volume slightly when calorie deficient but it picks back up after that for at least 4 weeks.

    • @tarkamlokar9709
      @tarkamlokar9709 5 лет назад

      One factor you didn't mention is how intense those sets are. How many reps do you perform pr. set and how close to failure do you get?
      I've found amassing high volume is difficult if you reach failure or stop a repetition before failure on most of your working sets.
      Also the sets you count are those all sets no matter intensity? From a strength and hypertrophy building and recovery standpoint there's of course a big difference between warm up sets, working sets and hard working sets.
      I wonder what a good relation between intensity and volume is. The harder sets are the more fatigue you accumulate but you also won't grow much from a very high number of easy sets.

    It will be impossible to tell what people do just by looking at them until they tell about you about their methods etc. My recipe is simple...I use everything like volume , heavy and medium weight ..lighter at times and all the technic I've learned in order to get a constant progression...High reps , low reps ..depend on what I like to achieve ...I will say I use all the available tools the proper way and I make sure I know how to use these tools to sculpt my physique...Not sure really about others. You can only compare what's comparable...I have been trying for the past 37 years many methods etc and I only kept the one who make me look and feel better ...When I feel tired and I realise my progress is not going as well as I like to I then take 1 week off in order to replenish my energy , motivation and give a break to my ligaments , tendons , muscles etc...Training hard well I will say training smart for longevity

    Not many people are willing or able to train very intensely. That means most people need to rely on volume for any type of progress. That's what research on hypertrophy reflects. It doesn't mean low volume highly intense training doesn't produce greater hypertrophy. It means most people won't do that type of training, even if instructed to. Scientific results always reflect a group average result. A group average of training intensity will never be very high.

    If two groups are doing the same program but ones doing 10 sets per week the other is doing 20 per week then the higher volume will undoubtedly see more gains. They need to do a study of low volume / higher intensity VS high volume / lower intensity and see the results. My guess they’d fair pretty much equal. Then it would come down to individual choice: do you prefer to go gym more often and not train as hard OR go less often but bust your arse more.

    I always count my volume spread over 8 days when on a push pull legs split where as on a more traditional body split i count it per workout. Ive been training for 11 months now at age 40 ( i trained from my teens to age 28 ish and stopped in 05) and finding 16 intense sets per workout is right up to my limit before im hitting all the symptoms of overtraining within a couple of weeks. I was doing more than that as When I was younger so have gone through a few bouts of overtraining to find this number of sets. I could probebly do more sets if i decrease the intensity but i like to keep things simple and just go all out everyworkout in terms if intensity as I find it easy to make gains and track progressive overload

    So I recently came across this channel a couple days ago and absolutely love the content! I binge watched literally 15 videos in a row and subscribed. I have a question about chest. I really want a chiseled chest and always seem to have a problem with the lower outer part of my chest to give it that filled out look. What are some exercises I can do for that specific outer part?

    Great information, excellent. I really would have liked the obvious question asked though: What would your presumed optimal training schedule and breakdown be? He did a lot of talking, but didnt leave us a definitive answer by my estimation. Also interesting, in another video of yours with your three biggest mistakes as a beginner, one mentioned was too much volume. Dont know if it came before or after you received this information, but would be interested to know.

    For volume I condition my hair Monday and Friday and I have gained zero muscle. Just kidding thanks John, I write your your ideas in a notebook and have made gains for the first time in my life.

    How do you hit the lower lats? I understand you cannot change lat insertions. I notice a lot of lifters mid to upper lats become well developed. I have implemented Dorian Yates advice of focusing on reverse grip and narrow grip pull ups/pull downs/rows. My lats have definitely improved because of that. I started doing single arm cable rows and pull downs and I really feel it in my lower lats.

    Love ALL of your content!! Is it safe to assume that the volume being discussed in this video refers to "working sets" (or "hard sets" as you like to call them) and does not include warm-up sets or "build-up sets"?

    Hey John, great content as always! Love Brad and the amazing work he does for the industry! Just wondering, when you say ".....if you can handle X amount of sets for Y amount of weeks" what do you do then? for example if a person does 20 sets for biceps in a week over 2-3 sessions then finds he is getting fatigued after doing this for say 3 weeks, should he then back off to like 10-12 sets per week and build up again? like 12, 14, 16 etc.. peak at 20 or so again, and cycle again?

    • @mountaindog1
      @mountaindog1  6 лет назад +4

      yea, you could back it way down, or try just reducing 20% of volume

  • @traingear9578
    @traingear9578 6 лет назад

    wonder how Brad would determine wither it was the increased volume to 45 sets in a week that attributed to most the gains, VS the higher frequency of the dosage itself training the body part 3 days per week that attributed to the gains.
    Because the study was NOT a study on volume only, the way it was structured it was BOTH volume and a high frequency training study.

      Hi John,
      I hope you are well!
      Thanks for such great quality information on your videos.
      I've implemented your advice to my training with great results.
      If you have the time I hope you could answer me this question or give me a thumbs up if you think it could work;
      I vary between bro split and a high frequency training system.
      On high frequency I have a 3 day split but train 5 times a week.
      Mon Legs calves
      Tue Chest Delts Tris
      Wed rest
      Thur Complete back/bis
      Fri Legs calves
      Sat Chest Delts Tris
      Sun rest
      as you see I hit each body part every 4th day.
      Using legs as an example, rather than hitting 20 sets in 1 workout if on a bro split, as visiting every 4th day I split the volume for about 10-12 sets on each of the 2 days, and may prioritise hamstring on of the days.
      I would perform usually 3 movements on each day, 4 sets on each, maybe a 4th movement if I reduce the sets on other exercises to 3?
      I would as an example reach a few reps short of failure on 2 sets, the 3rd set closer, then if its the last set of any given movement I will take it to complete failure, often using set-pause, maybe partials or some deadstop reps, clusters etc.
      I try this method for my entire split.
      Do you think this is feasible to recover from, chemically assisted and 8 weeks from Universe.
      calories are not very low and training always fuelled with cluster dextrin EAA'S peptopro's.
      Thanks for your time.
      Matt.

    The interplay with training frequency was not really addressed. I feel I can train and train when i am fresh. I feel great in the gym but then my recovery sucks. totally knocks me around. But then I am a middle aged ectomorph.

  • @cameroncorbin7824

    When he says 45 sets for legs, he is talking about all the different groups of muscles as a whole, correct? Quads, Calves, Hamstrings?
    Also the 30 sets for arms, is that Biceps/Triceps? Thank you!
