We came to our fourth (and probably last) episode of our Volume Month. After interviewing 3 amazing guest, one of my favourite came last! In this one, Dr. Eric Helms is sharing the theoretical as well as practical side of increasing training volume to make better gains. You'll learn why you should probably not get carried away with increasing the number of sets in your program too quickly, and why if you're progressing as an intermediate or advanced lifter, you're probably doing things right, and it's needless to worry about whether you could be progressing even faster.

Time-Stamps:

1:10 - Why is training volume important?

3:38 - Is progressive overload or volume driving growth?

6:29 - What's a good starting volume for an intermediate lifter?

12:23 - Discussing the Schoenfeld high volume study (long back and forth)

22:30 - How can we implement these high volume studies in real life?

27:05 - How do we know if we could/should increase our training volume?

30:33 - How much faster will you progress on higher volumes?

34:50 - How much volume does Eric do?

38:05 - How many sets per session do you do?

40:14 - Where can we find your work?
