I find volume (and intensity) directly proportional to gains but inversely proportional to social life and a clean and organized home.
LOL!
My cleaning skills get worse the leaner I get is there a cure?
really i find the complete opposite...give me a few years tho.
hahaha
Intensity is also proportional to injury rate I think 😷
Johns biceps have their own zip code!

Then his quads must have an area code LOL
chris rocco and your point is?
Bicepticons are invading
True.
Hands down the best channel for fitness.
thank you!
top 13 for sure

Oh , so you’re new to RUclips? Lol
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.
thank you!
Both guys are wonderful, giving out great information to think about. Sad that John is no longer with us.
Absolutely the best channel for fitness/bodybuilding i have ever come across. Thank you John for your content very much appreciated.
I swear every time I’m pondering something about my training John pops up with loads of info on that very topic. Thanks John!
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%?
Finally, love this kind of studies! So many talk about doing 16 to 20sets max per week...but after 10 years of training, not sure this always applies! Awesome info right there
Btw, would love to know by which way do you plan your increase in volume/intensity week by week? I'm starting GammaBomb soon, so I've seen a bit, but your opinion on this would be cool
gamma bomb is volume increases for 6 weeks , then a sort of repeat scaling up again
This is my go-to all time favorite result producing routine:
Upper / Lower split 2-3 x week. Each muscle hit 1 x 4-7 days.
*UPPER*
- Bench Press
- Rows
- Inc Bench
- Chins
- Lateral Raises
- Pullover
- Chest Flys
- Rear Delt Fly
- Tricep Extension
- Preacher Curls
- Military Press/ Tricep Extension (Alternate every other workout)
- Curls/ Upright Rows (Alternate every other workout)
- Grip Squeeze
- Face Pulls (Rotator Cuff)
*LOWER*
- Squats
- Calf Press
- Zercher Squats
- Donkey Calf
- Glute Ham Raise
- Leg Extension
- Romanian Deadlift / Good mornings (Alternate every other workout)
- Calf Raises
- Leg Curl
- F/B Neck Raise
- Ab Sit Up
- R/L Neck Raises
- Cable Ab Crunch
** Each exercise is performed 2 x 8-20 reps to positive failure
** Rest 2-4 min Between sets depending on Exercises.
* Warm up 5 min Elliptical
* 50% x 8 / 75% x 4 of working weight.
Good shit dude, going to try this. Thank you
I've really enjoyed Brad as a guest John thank you. Volume has been my ticket to bigger muscles at 65. 3 set of 10 did nothing for me. 6 sets of 12 twice a week is my magic number for growth.
we have more coming
You didn't lose strength from more volume?
I could never achieve these kinds of volumes working to near failure on each set.
Hey John!
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!
After listening to this video I started to wonder- when did you started to split the volume of your sessions in different workouts and did you personally see big difference?
Thanks!
oh thank you!!! i saw a difference, I wouldnt say a massive one, but I'll take what I can get at my age
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
interesting video! never thought of it that way until having problems balancing out my recovery time... family time... going to work... sleeping...!
M
What a duo, my godness!
Intensity is where it's at. If you're not crippled from your workouts then are you even lifting? MAXIMUM EFFORT.
Mind-blowing study. Can't thank Brad enough for his work.
U should have your own TV show UK needs a great teacher to watch 😎
So great to have Brad here with John for full experience and power!
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.
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.
@@tarkamlokar9709 i go to 80-90% of failure on 4 out of 5 working sets. I might go to 95% on the last 2 even.
Best duo in the industry, thanks for the great content John!!
RIP John! You will always be missed! 🙏🏿
Ur doing God’s work John
Hi John, could you speak to the issue of rep range and volume?
I love these in depth videos, thanks so much John!
Definitely in the top 5 for proper form /fitness content on social media I’ve raised this question to others who make like content who say “ have any questions or comments leave it in the comment section but never reply that being said “ what shoulder & back exercises would you recommend for a weight lifter in a chair ♿️ Thanh doesn’t cause over rotation of the hips or flexing of the lower spine I’ve been doing resistance band training for 15+ years
pulldown variations come to mind...horizontal rows.....all versions of side laterals for delts and even some good ole arnold presses!
Thanks Mountain Dog I usually bounce between 161 / 181 lbs so any advice would be greatly appreciated again thanks for getting back to me
Great shirt Doc. I had the same back when I was in school.
One of the best on RUclips!! Keep it up!
God bless you John, thank you for always posting dynamite content!
Sounds like Dr. Fred Hatfields periodization program. I bought that program in high school called "serious growth". It worked. Within weeks people were noticing increased muscularity and my strength was increasing quite well.
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
There is a system that actually use a volume ramping method like stated here...if my memory is right, its called "big beyong belief III" by Leo Costa jr.
I’ve came back to this video 3-4 times in the past couple years just as a refresher. Two experts using their knowledge, research and experiences and explaining it all in an easy to understand way. Timeless content.
Loved this episode and love this channel! Thank you John
Really amazing and informative content out here!
Congrats on 100k my man. You surely deserve more!
thank you!
Your channel along with Greg Doucette are my top fitness channels. Jeff nippard is also very high up there!
thank you!
I don’t know if I’m doing too much...
CHEST - 30 sets per week
BACK - 36 sets per week
SHOULDERS - 28 sets per week
BICEPS - 22 sets per week
TRICEPS - 22 sets per week
Not to much. That’s ideal to me
Good topic. Please can you get Dr Eric Serrano on more please
yep
Good stuff and John and Brad! Love the info keep it coming!
hands down best channel
Great video as always. Very informative. Could you go more into the signs to look for when we should start pulling back on intensity. You touched on it slightly, but I think it would be beneficial to many if you could cover this.
Just give ur 100% in ur training and u will see result, ur body will tell u when to slow down or push harder .
the hardest part is slowing down, it’s the last thing you wanna do when progress stalls
Best Channel ever in body building.
congratulations on 100k subs john!!!
thank you!
I have lurned so much from this channel.
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.
Brilliant stuff John absolutely brilliant really enjoyed it
That new look is cooler
Does this slightly contradict Mike Israetel theory of; MV, MEV & MAV?
not really...build your work capacity and MRV up
Supports what Mike is saying if anything.
Mike's MRV recommendations are way below 30-45 sets per bodypart though.
Thats his general guide lines, he says to start there and figure out what you can do induvidually
This whole video supports his approach a lot I think
Based Exo the 30 to 45 sets refers to the muscle overlap i.e 5 sets for chest pres and shoulder press= 10 sets for the triceps and anterior delt.
Hands down is a 5 day split like the pros do the best for advanced natural athletes or should one still work with higher frequency?
Curious on forearm volume, mine is having a hard time growing
Forearms and calves you have to hit it with volume AND higher weight just bc they are such frequently used muscles they have to be worked even harder
I find this very encouraging as a guy who loves really high volume workouts. I could never stick to any workout program that did less than 20 sets per body part. Just didn't feel right for me
Try 50sets or more per week for a month straight. You’ll put on size. I’ve done it. My arms have plateaued for 4 years now. Grew 3/4 inch in that month
Very important topic, great work guys, kind regards Richard U.K
just inspired me to go from bro split to doubling it up! Thanks my bros
Happy to see a great bodybuilder and a real bodybuilding researcher talk over the issues. Thanks!
such a valuable and informative video thank you
Great video thanks John.
Thanks for the amazing content John and Dr Brad. Could u do a video on nucleus overload?
So John, how do you recommend increasing the volume?
Maybe adding 3 sets a week, or maybe a little faster?
So nice to see you with Brad!!
I was waiting for that one!
Great video John keeping coming 👌
Extremely valuable info, thank you both👏
Loving the beard John boy !
Oldtime strongman would change things up when they went stale. This would mean listening to your own body. Seems it holds true still today. I'm starting to understand more and more what they meant by going stale.
Great video. Thank you
I had to Google what "caveats" meant. I am now wiser. *** Thanks for the videos mountain dog
Me: 30 sets over the week for all muscle groups. Do that all the time
TopLift do you de load after? And then work your way back up to 30 sets? rinse and repeat?
@@evergreenthunder could have asked me on my channel. never saw this
@@h1a2m3z4a5 probably had to deload once a month.
Always great informations!
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.
100k by midnight?! How will you celebrate John? This is a big accomplishment ! That's 100k lives you've influenced. not many people can say they have done that . I will be happy for your quality 100k than some people's garbage half a million.
ill be snoozing...I have to do a seminar tmrw morning!
Good luck, Do a 100k rep workout after 😁
My experience at 70 I do 6 days body part each day 20-28 sets very short rest times get my cardio at the same time it works for me on a carnivore diet as well so the best I have looked body wise and to many benefits to mention happy as 85 is my goal to be the best I have ever looked hay the glass is half full mate
More is MORE...97% OF THE TIME!!!!
100k congratulations!
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
great post!!! agreed
That was awesome!!! Thank-You
Glad you enjoyed it!
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?
slight decline work, but it maybe more diet related
Great video cheers John
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.
Digging the beard man!
RIP John! you will be truly missed :(
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"?
RIP big homie, I’m still learning from you. Thanks.
Congratulations on100k
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?
yea, you could back it way down, or try just reducing 20% of volume
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.
But what about intensity? Was intensity the same in the different set-numbers?
Any info on the rest time between sets? Also how many sets taken to failure?
Awsome video as always !!
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.
CONGRATS on reaching 100+k
And the beard is a good look.
Do you think you can keep it until the end of the year or will the wife put you in the dog house?? LOL
wellll.....I had to shave,but now it's growing back cause Im headed to Vegas..haha
Have fun at the "O"!!!
Time flies...
Will you have video from their as well?
Awesome episode.
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.
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!
The best video on volumen
U should have way mre suscribers........gr8 wrk
Legends.
