Want some help gaining your next 10-to-15 pounds of muscle? Or losing your next 10-to-15 pounds of fat? Or both at the same time? Here are 5 ways I can assist whenever you’re ready, including free fitness plans, coaching, books, and more: www.mikematthews.co/yt

Trained with higher volumes 12-20 per week per muscle for years and just couldn't recover from it. Started getting lots of aches and pains which continue 'til this day. Dropped down to 5-10 sets per week per muscle. Started gaining strength a lot as an intermediate and pains and aches went away for the most part. Wasn't my cup of tea. I can push my sets so hard and I just can't recover from higher volumes with my intensity of training. Been training my whole life and it seems to impact it a lot. Just start low and move from there to find own best volumes. For most it's 5-15 sets per week per muscle.

Was Milo born yet when Mike started podcasting😂

It is fascinating to me that a supposed PhD would argue against progressive tension overload as a driver on hypertrophy. But this is Milo "Lengthened partials are the only two words I Know" Wolf we're talking about. Perhaps he could explain the following. 1. Literally 99.9999% of training studies ever done add weight to the bar over time. I can think of maybe 5 that haven't in decades of work. There might be a couple that I missed. 2. In the 52 set study Milo has such a hardon for they state: "To ensure appropriated stimulus and standardize the left of effort between the experimental groups, load was also progressed according to repetition zone throughout the intervention period." Translation: they applied progressive tension overload over time along with the volume changes. Note: in the discussion of that study, the researchers themselves state that the small difference in growth isn't worth the roughly 2.5 times greater volume/time investment. It also only used quads. Pray tell how does doctor Milo plan to apply that to the roughly 8 primary muscle groups (chest, back, delts, biceps, triceps, quads, hamstrings, calves). 400+ hard sets/week. Give me a break. 3. In his own recent study on lengtehend partials, it states "Barbell load was increased in 0.25-0.5kg increments when the participant was able to perform 20+ repetitions with full ROM on the first set. " Translation: they applied progressive tension overload in addition to what they were testing. 4. Why he bothered to build up to a 400+ squat (claimed on his website)? If progressive tension overload doesn't matter, why isn't he just squatting 135 for volume. I can think of two reasons he'd say something so utterly dumb. 1. He's got something to sell and wants to sound edgy and contrary 2. He's still butthurt over me and, due to that, is required by NPD law, to argue the opposite of what I (correctly) claim. Just another insecure child in an industry full of 'em. Without progressive tension overload OVER TIME, it's not training and anyone with any real-world training knowledge knows that. Endurance athletes don't just do longer durations without going faster. Neither do sprinters. If you don't progress the load, it's not training. To argue against that shows an ignorance of epic proportion. I'm not saying volume doesn't matter. To state progressive overload is of minimal or no importance simply proves the tragedy that is the fitness industry. And why a 24 year old, PhD or not, is still a know nothing 24 year old. One who's own statements contradict not only nearly every study ever done, but his own studies, along with his own personal training style. In a less generous mood I might call him another liar in an industry full of them. Instead I'll simply call him inconsistent in what he says versus what he actually does.

Lyle, I have been adding reps to most of my lifts as a progressive overload. Am I wrong in this, and should I actually putting more weight on the bar. I'm 46 and joint pain is my main cause of adding reps rather then weight and I try and stick to higher rep ranges 15-30. Then once I reach the higher rep ceiling then I would add a little weight. So a double progression.

Damn I was hoping this wasn't actually your account. Never meet your heroes On that note... you know you've made it in the fitness industry when Lyle is talking shit about you.

Hey Mike, what was the podcast discussing the lower volume approach for maintenance or lower gains? I’m excited to listen to this one!

A good, sensible podcast/interview. Milo is a rising star in the 'lifter-scientist' community...!

Ahh yes advocating for 52 sets a week for hypertrophy is totally evidence based.

Another useless PhD more interested in edgelord IG memes and fad jumping you mean.

He knows two words "Lengthened partials" and nothing else. Anybody who says progressive tension overload isn't important doesn't know jack crap.

@@lylemcdonaldisright i'll guess what I meant to say was: Wolf knows how to present and explain stuff. Whether right or wrong.Watching your new progression video now as we speak.

No, no it is not
