The videos are great and very thought provoking. I am struggling a bit though on how do I practically apply the message. I think the point is sometimes we can overdo it when trying to progress. Ok. pavel says never go to failure. Another guy says not only go,failure but beyond failure. Another yet might say it depends on how you recover. So what do you do? Is high intensity training good? bad? I had a high school,coach tell me once to train but don't strain. We have to challenge the body or a muscle to stimulate and adaptation don't we. Sorry but I am confused.
Great video! But very theoretical.. you should do another video and put these ideas in a more practical context : Should you be sore after a workout? How sore should you be? Generally what signs do you have to look for when aiming to progress?
He's focusing on the big picture instead of the minute and seeking to educate rather than dictate. If you understand the theory well you can at the least, differentiate between misinformation and quality content and at the best formulate your own theories which you can then subject to the scientific formula.
@Basti, check out Schoenfeld and his work. Lot of good info on exercise induced muscular damage, at least in terms of hypertrophy. If you're a powerlifter or endurance athlete, then I can't help you much.
Basti S. I'm well aware of Brad. He is an intelligent individual but he states that high volume training is superior to low volume HIT based on his analyzing studies which are not accurately comparing the two. Rather a low volume approach but not in the traditional Jonesian Philospohy of HIT. also powerlifting is a sport and should not be mentioned when discussing strength training for the masses.
david klein the body of evidence points to higher volumes (to a point) are superior for MAXIMIZING muscle hypertrophy. That does not mean lower volume training will not produce great results, because it can and does. also individual differences have to be accounted for. But for most people most of the time, training with higher volumes will produce better growth according to best available empirical evidence, and anecdotal evidence
Basti S. I agree with you in their being individual responses to exercise, this is a case of finding the appropriate dosage which can be done with manipulating intensity not necessarily by just increasing evidence. the existing studies that support higher volumes have not been done with 'proper high intensity' methods or done by experienced HIT trainers. training to failure is an art form and in absence of good tutition then a higher volume would obviously be more appropriate
I have had people tell me "I have to take Naproxen or Advil" before working out or after because of the soreness/pain/stiffness and have been for years... o.O
Tom is the only guy making videos on youtube whom I can watch without jumping forward in the videos. Such a wise man.
how come I watch fitness and bodybuilding youtubes for 5 years and found this guy only now? I'm shocked
😂
Much respect for when Tom immediately corrects statements of what he (presumably) believes with what he knows.
Awesome
Thanks Tom!
Best video on progression ever.
Such a straight shooter, and with awesome info. Thank you so much! :)
These videos are gold!
Great analogy, awesome video (again)!

Does he have a book I can buy?
♡♡♡
Lost respect for this guy when he used the word retarded in a derogatory manner.
Made perfect sense to me in that context
