This info is a gamechanger for those who struggle with injuries or seem to respond poorly to conventional loading schemes. I accidentaly stumbled upon this concept years ago on an experimental program and it was, to date, the most successful and pain free program I've ever done. Thanks for putting this info out there in a formal but clear manner!
@@MuscularMontel Trying to find it, will post back if/when I do. Something like pick 3 exercises, test your 1rm (either through 1rm test or 3rm), run those at 70% 5x/week for 5 reps of 5 sets (can't quite recall) and don't change weight for 3-4 weeks. I think you could vary this theoretically, i.e. 4 exercises and 4 sets or similar. I would run this a bit more elegantly now but I loved it. Super chill, almost meditative gym time and found some sizable strength and reasonable hypertrophy gains.
Provided you laid such difference between strength-focused sets and hypertrophy sets, do you still think power building makes sense? After primary strength-focused sets with maximizing velocity on high loads away from failure, is close-to-failure work for hypertrophy still valid in terms of progress and recovery between sessions?
you can choose whatever split you like. The most important thing is just that you get around 4 sets per week per muscle as a minimum if you want to grow muscle. The studies show that on average 3 sets per week is a maintenance volume, and with 4 sets per week you can get appreciable gains. Split it up in whatever way you prefer.
But isn't high psychological acuity at say RPE 7 comparable to low psychological acuity at say RPE 9? So if proximity to failure doesn't matter as much, why bother going through the stress of arousal?
This channel is gold. Wow
pure gold, criminally underrated
Anecdotally; when I started trying to move all my lifts as quickly as possible I noticed an increase in progress. Great video!
Absolutely fantastic work guys, and eagerly waiting for more to come!

May I ask what program this was?

@@RohannvanRensburg nice. I had the same findings as you when running Barbell Medicine’s low fatigue template.
Great content and production! You guys should roll out a (second) video on the Infinity Programs - barely any info on it out in the ether.
Fantastic work! Im here for the algorithm!!!
They don't miss.
As always, amazing video. Love the new format.
Another great video! Thank you guys
I really enjoyed the video. Great info and well laid out.
Love your content!
When if ever would you consider incorporating pauses in the lengthened position?
Thanks

Great content but for some maybe hard to understand how to apply
If lifting twice a week on Monday and Thursday, should I do full body both days, or split in half 50/50 on both days?

Please get Dr Mike on
Please do not, we need a break lol
