The size principle does play a fundamental role, but its still possible to reach maximal levels of voluntary activation without training all the way to failure (heavy loads short of failure, and explosive movements like plyos for example) To add to that, reaching maximal recruitment is not sufficient by itself, but the overall dosing of the tension in that recruited state. In the case of plyometrics, you can reach high levels of recruitment, but there is very little volume of tension being accrued in that state. -Brian
Most important variable for muscle growth: caloric surplus. @11:11 If you don't have the resources to build muscle then nothing gets built. Obviously training is important, but I have seen plenty of 200-pound people who are bigger than 100-pound people.
True, but they are also moving more bodyweight day to day, which is why a lot obese people still have very high levels of LBM. I like Helms' analogy that nutrition is like the soil, sun, and water. Training is the seed. Nutrition is permissive but without progressive overload observed over time, new muscle isnt likely going to be built. - Brian
My guess before listening: Effort
My guess before listening: Number of effective sets per week (call it effort, intensity but not weight lifted, proximity to failure)
This is great. Is there a longer video on this topic and was it just this?
There is! This is from our podcast here: ua-cam.com/video/Qb0X87odRlQ/v-deo.html -Brian
Consistency
Lifting weights is probably pretty important, if not the most important factor for muscle growth.
Rest and recovery
Intensity for me
Overload
In order to recruit the maximum number of motor units, you must train to failure. It does only take one set to achieve. Henneman Size Principle.

Volume is KING
Actually, no. Christ is King.

What’s the primary driver of sarcoplasmic hypertrophy? The pump?
If so, stick with me here
Why don’t we see significant penis hypertrophy?
The sponge hypertrophy
Once a year, is not enough.
It’s not a muscle
You can make your Penis larger AMD maybe even thicker
