A win for high volume?

If you’ve been tuning in for a while now you’ll know I recommend 4-6 set per muscle per week.

Recently you might have seen a study going around that proves I’m wrong 🙄

Muscle growth keeps going up way past 30 sets! Muscle growth doesn’t slow down! How could you be wrong about muscle growth :(

Here’s the problem.

It actually links heavily to the newsletter I sent you yesterday. Click here to read

• The study doesn’t actually show muscle growth continues past 4-6 sets

• The study doesn’t actually disprove anything I’ve been saying

• The study DOES prove something I’ve been thinking for a while now

You see, most of these studies make no sense.

Let me show you why.

If you’re observant you might have already noticed 😏

HOW THE HECK CAN YOU BUILD ALL THIS MUSCLE WITHOUT ANY STRENGTH???

To put it simply, it’s impossible to have no strength increase whilst having a ton of muscle growth.

That hypertrophy chart literally shows it consistently continuing, it’s just not happening…

So here’s what this tells us.

• Muscle growth maxes out at 4-6 sets/muscle/week

• Measurements of muscle growth (muscle thickness) have one big weakness, it can’t differentiate between swelling, and growth

• These hypertrophy studies are actually muscle damage studies

As you all know, muscle damage doesn’t cause growth.

It’s something we want to avoid.

It’s a by-product that’s harmful.

Following what this chart would suggest, is not the right path.

Stick to my recommendation of 4-6 sets per muscle per week, and you’ll be great.
