In the second episode of the Volume Month, Dr. Mike Israetel is sharing his views on optimizing training volume.

He is a proponent of progressing from the least volume you can progress on to the most, and repeating this process. I will try to challenge him on this to the best of my abilities, let's see if I succeed!

1:35 - How important is volume compared to progressive overload, intensity, failure proximity, etc?

7:25 - Martin Berkhan, Jeff Alberts, and people who grow so well on low training volumes

14:00 - Going from low to high volumes (why is it beneficial if its beneficial)

14:50 - Why add weight but not add sets?

24:30 - I'm trying to challenge Mike on the volume landmarks

28:26 - I'm trying to challenge him a bit more here

35:40 - Can you add sets if you're recovery is not 100% on point?

41:08 - How much more gains will you make if you do the most volume possible vs the minimum effective dose?

50:20 - Schoenfeld's 45 sets a week study

59:05 - Mike's new volume landmarks?!

59:45 - How much volume does Mike do?

1:06:45 - Where can we find out more about you?
