Today our CSO (Chief Science Officer) Natalie dives into some evidence about the effects that Different Resistance Training Volumes have on Muscle Hypertrophy

 

• Volume overview
• Goal of volume
• Junk volume - more volume does not always mean better gains because there is a threshold. 
• Some studies do show a dose-response relationship between training volume and muscle mass, the greater the volume, the greater the muscle hypertrophy. 
• But there’s also literature proposing an inverted “U” relationship 

Study to critique - by Baz-Valle and collogues wanted to address high/moderate volume and relationship muscle growth  Reference:
