Awesome interview! Funny, I was going to suggest having Lyle McDonald on to debunk a lot of the exercise science literature…he’s a bit polarizing, but seems so cut through the bs. Big thanks, as always!
Hey Richard thanks for that great feedback. I'm trying to get Lyle to come on the channel! He hasn't done any interviews for a while but hoping to make it happen with some gentle nudging behind the scenes
@@carvedouttastone Funny we talked about Lyle, he just released a new video about the high volume research. He seems pretty adamant about it. Thanks again!
Damn, that’s disappointing…but he’s been back online calling out the bs. He had another video last Friday. If he does another one, I’ll shoot him an email and see if he’d be interested. He said he doesn’t read or respond to RUclips comments and he might read his emails, lol.
@richardarmillei6207 yeah even Sumi went into bat for me but no dice. He can at least say "fuck off Shawn" and that would be a clear answer. He's doing a podcast with another guy this week so it's not like he's no longer doing interviews. Bit disappointing to be shrugged off by someone you've admired and help promote over the years, but that's this weird industry I guess.
Training to failure or close to it for muscle growth - depends on the individual everyone is different. In my experience smaller muscle groups tend to respond better to high volume and moderate to low resistance.
It's definitely a sweet spot that's different for everyone - exactly related to Borge's analogy of the suntan prescription - everyone's going to need different levels of sun exposure to get a tan. Yes, I've found smaller muscle groups respond.betrer to higher volumes also - but the current science would say "no" this isn't true. Borge also said that one of the main things holding people back is that they want to be told conclusively what to do - when in reality, you have to be your own guru at the end of the day
@@carvedouttastone Correct, you have to hold your own counsel. There is also a certain pain barrier the trainee has to go through which is highly subjective, tolerance levels vary between individuals. But most people will respond positively to a level of training if it is consistent and makes them more uncomfortable than what they're used to. Then there's training for specific movements vs training for muscle growth...
Yes im back on it strong now after the Xmas break. It's game changing for me because when I deviated over December for a stretch, things really went to shit for me

thanks for timestamps
I still train myo-reps so will give this a watch thanks for the interview
Yeah I'm gonna switch over to myo reps from traditional rest pause as it seems a better way to train as Borge explained it. Thanks for commenting
Great podcast. Thanks!
Thanks Turbo. Glad you enjoyed it and if you have anyone you'd like to see interviewed please let me know
Awesome interview man! Well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
grreat interview. hes from where i am , norway :)
Thanks for watching and commenting. Great to hear. Yeah Borge is a treasure man. So intelligent and well spoken
Looking forward to the video discussion about 'the last program "
Thanks mate. Yes it's a great program indeed. Borge nailed it

@@richardarmillei6207 keep trying Lyle but he won't respond to any messages so probs give up on that one 🤷♂️

@@DH-zp7bc well said. Totally aligned with that
still doing the carnivore diet? i started doing paul saladinos animal based diet and so far i feel good!
Yes im back on it strong now after the Xmas break. It's game changing for me because when I deviated over December for a stretch, things really went to shit for me
This is Mike Mentzer type training!
Mike had the right idea, he just took the general principles to the wrong extreme via faulty reasoning and incorrect methodology
