@@vicviv9275 yeah... I've experienced that in the past if I didn't do any warm up or work up sets. The second set felt better than the first. But third set worse than second.
individual workouts in isolation simply do not matter. Workout until you are done, focus on overload and volume as time goes on. A most recent study showed that people who pushed all the way up to 54 total sets a week for a muscle group got significantly better results. But that just isnt that feasible all the time. Workout to you energy levels for that day with a goal to lift more weight and volume over time.
Number of sets in a workout ABSOLUTELY matters. As mentioned in the video, there is not only a point of diminishing returns, but research shows that there can even be regression with 12 sets or more in a workout, so you'd actually be doing more harm than good. The study that progressed volume to 52 sets revealed no significant difference in muscle gains. Not to mention that it was only for a single muscle group... not training all muscle groups with that amount of volume in a week. Working out to your energy level can actually have you doing more than is necessary and do nothing more than increase the amount of fatigue you accumulate and more time to recover.
@@Edgycoo as the researchers state in that paper, "While our results indicate a POTENTIALLY SMALL benefit for higher volume conditions regarding hypertrophic adaptations, the LIMITED CERTAINTY of our findings WARRANTS CAUTION." The benefits of 52 sets in that study was basically negligible. And it was only for the vastus lateralis... a single muslce head of the quadriceps.
@@losefatgetjacked in such a short period, that is a huge advantage over time. I have started doing 52 weekly sets per muscle and it is quite tiring but I have gained over 10lbs of pure muscle inside of a month
@ 10 pounds of muscle in a month? 😮 How are you measuring this? Are you natty? How long have you been training? Are you doing 52 sets for all muscle groups? If it’s working for you… that’s all that matters. But based on the lack of confidence from the authors of the study and hearing from other authors from previous volume studies where they found 10-20 sets was best and now they are back tracking their recommendations… yeah… I personally won’t be recommending high volumes

Thank you so much. I appreciate the positive feedback.
I always do 3 sets
It's been engrained in us. Tough to break.
@losefatgetjacked funny thing is for me the first set is often the hardest

@@losefatgetjacked actually in the 52 week study it was a dose dependant response. 52 sets won out.
