In this episode James Krieger, MSc discusses with Jeff:
 
-how many sets are best for maximizing hypertrophy?
-is there a point at which adding more training volume is detrimental for gains?
-how important is training to failure?
-is it better to space volume out across the week with higher frequency training or have more per-session volume?
-the value of relative vs absolute volume for hypertrophy
-why James' 2010 meta-analysis on volume survives criticism 
-hints about some unpublished research from James and Brad Schoenfeld on training volume and hypertrophy 
 
...and much more!
