    For people who lift hard, take every set to or close to functional failure, and you legitimately know what failure is, 16 sets a week of legit working sets will do the trick. No need to complicate it.i don’t think Arnold and Mentzer etc needed periodization and deload to build thick muscle

    How do you all feel about doing 3-4 reps on the first few sets and then your major set to failure. So you are having less junk volume and more effective reps. I guess you can say it’s more of a high intensity style and low volume. Am I losing out on the volume from those first few sets without training to 2-3 reps in reserve on those sets? The way I look at it as I’m maximizing my effective reps and hitting failure anyway without all the reps that don’t count.

    That's fine. I like more like 6-8 or so, but you should be saving your energy for your working weight. I'm assuming you do more than 4 reps on your working sets (5-30). Warm up sets should not be close to failure.

    Reps ranges vary depending on what you're trying to achieve. Lower reps for body building and higher reps for power lifting. In general though Mikes always refers to anywhere between 6 - 30reps/or failure.

  • @chuck6652
    @chuck66522 күн бұрын

    I can confidently say that I cannot overtrain. I’m currently at 50+ sets per muscle group per week. I have been for several months. It took 6-8 weeks to ramp up volume, to avoid ridiculous DOMS at such high volume. Since I adapted to the volume, I haven’t been sore for any reason besides poor programming, ie. pushing a chest day off and having 30+ sets in the next session 😅🤢 High volume has gained me 50+ pounds of decently lean mass in the last year and a half. My point is that more volume is recoverable, effective, and is certifiably fun af. I went from 150 to 200 lbs BW as a 22 year old guy over multiple bulking and mini cutting cycles. The progress is continuing to go hard af. No injuries with slow, “good” technique and using lots of stretched movements. Increase your volume. It’s worth it.

  • @chuck6652
    @chuck66522 күн бұрын

    Why not ignore the periodization aspect and do as much volume as you possibly can as early as you possibly can, all the way up to 52 sets per week per muscle group. That’s what the research shows is effective, all common sense aside. Genuinely I do 52+ sets per week for quads, hamstrings, chest, back, arms, and shoulders. I didn’t get sore after the first 6-8 weeks of increasing volume to that point. I am growing like mad. My progress hasn’t slowed down in the last year and a half. Just separate your muscle groups across the week to keep sets per session to less than 20. Easy W. Yes I do two a days most days and spend 2-3 hours in the gym lol but screw it why not.

    Why everybody thinks there is range of set you can do to maximize gains. I think you can increase volume like number of reps or weight on the bar. If someone stop adding reps and weight. He can add more and more sets every session. Of course 100 sets of each muscle is strange and a waste of time but if someone wants it he can get there. Question: What sets number is best? is like: What is best weight? Answer: It depends on the individual history of training. Someone know how train to increase volume? Not strength, hypertrophy but volume. How we can add sets when your sets in reps looks like 10,10,8,6,3 ?

    I’d take a peek at the RP book Scientific Principles of Hypertrophy Training. It is a LOT to read lol but goes into all kinds of details. Like if you wanted even more volume but would go under 3 reps in a set, could do drop sets (lowering weight) or various other techniques

    Systemic fatigue sneaks up on you slowly and even with all the will in the world you will just hit a point where your strength and endurance begins to fail. You'll be able to get it back with some serious rest (take a week off) but if you're reaching that point too frequently then you should probably look at your routine and cut back on volume. Just knocking off 1 set per muscle group per session can mean you can go for much longer before needing a complete de-load to recover, in the short term it might feel like you're losing ground but over the course of a year it means you can see more progression overall. It's basically endurance racing versus a sprint, you're trading speed for distance
