About the channel:
I am Pak, a scientist, a coach but most importantly, a lifter.
I did my PhD on "the minimum effective dose for strength" and currently, as part of the Applied Muscle Development Lab (NYC), my research focuses on strength and muscle growth. As a coach I work with individuals of all professional and sporting backgrounds, from elite strength athletes to busy professionals looking to get stronger and improve their body composition.
As a lifter, there's not much more to say than "I lift and enjoy training hard". Citations for the "I lift" part can be provided upon request.
This channel is essentially me rambling on about all things lifting, including the odd "hot take" here and there with the aim of helping other fellow lifters as well as inspiring non-lifters to lift.
Some might say te title is clickbait but it's actually understating the time savings. 36% less time actually equal 56% faster workouts (1/[1-0.36]=1.5625.) you could've made the title even more sensational 😉
"GAIN MUSCLE 90000000000000% FASTER AND MAKE MILLIONS RESTING"

You need to make one explaining how to gain muscle slower, because since I've started watching your channel I can't stop making gains no matter how hard I try, I'm starting to scare my children already, please help me
Brad been doing all these side quests lately and I love it
Holding on 2 machines is not easy in a commercial gym but on the other side you can be flexible with your exxercise selection.
If lat pull down is taken do pull ups.
If flat press machine do incline.
You did Brad dirty on that thumbnail! 😂

I always train this way. Get out of the gym quick. It works and gets you pumped, so there is a fun factor too.
Straight sets this, straight sets that. What about the gay sets?!
Gay sets are old news. It's all about trans sets now.
@@doug853 Non-binary sets. One heavy pulling set followed immediately by a light pushing set.
What about non-binary sets? You aren't being very inclusive
What about tran they them sets?

Ive gone front traditional sets -> Atagonistic Supersets -> Rest: Pause / Myo Reps.
I've migrated to Myo Reps as I enjoy the training intensity over the shorter time frame and for me being busy with the family it is gold.
I feel like I'm progressing more than with straight sets with Myo Reps and can still progressively overload with Reps and/or weight. And the bonus is I'm not in the (Home) Gym any more than I need to.....unless I need more time out from the family !!
What I would love to see is an updated study on Rest Pause (or Myo Reps) - do you know anyone planning to complete one?
Love the content.
I superset back and chest, triceps and biceps and i do non-overlapping supersets as well. Like side delts and abs or calves and hamstring isolation. I usually rest 1 min but sometimes i just rest longer or dont rest at all. The workouts were hell when i first started using them.
I dont superset taxing leg movements, although I could do non-overlapping supersets like quads and biceps or hamstrings and neck work. I just dont have the energy.
When it comes to the nausea, in my experience has only been a problem when I do a lot of super sets back to back to back. Like a circuit.
However it's never been a work capacity problem. I'm pretty sure it's due to the vagal response (name might be slightly different), but it's supposedly due to all the blood leaving your organs. When half my body has a crazy pump from super-sets, then no amount of cardio conditioning will make me not feel sick after a while. Takes 15-20 minutes to go away.
Myo-reps are now my go-to way to save time and get a potent stimulus in the gym. The focus on a single muscle group stops me from getting nausea and it has the added benefit of better SFR due to the ability to use lighter loads but stay close to failure.
When I changed programs I took supersets out because the second and/or third exercises were plagued by fatigue. Even heavy cable wrist curls to medium weight cable lat raise was exhausting but when I broke it up with a 30-90sec rest I almost never failed a set and got a better pump (likely due to more time under tension).
The way I am doing it and I don't feel nauseous or exhausted is like this:
I start my timer and I do one set every 2 mins alternating between 2 different exercises.
Example:
-I start the timer
-I do 1 set of chest press
-When the timer hits 2 minutes I do 1 set of lat pull down
-When the timer hits 4 minutes I do 1 set of chest press
It's pretty easy.
It saves me 50% of time
Normally i would do 1 set per 3 mins (20*3=60mins per workout)
Supersetting takes me 1 set per 2 mins(20*2=40 mins per workout)
I almost always super set. Works great for me. I do a lot of sets and exercises during most sessions and it allows me to get it done in a reasonable amount of time plus keep my heart rate elevated.
I train like this, but I pair a bigger with a smaller Muscle or a compound with an isolation Exercise to minimise the fatigue.
E.g. I do Back with Triceps and Chest or Shoulders with Biceps and I use the same equipment for both (Cable Curls + Cable Lateral Raise, Single Arm Pulldown + Triceps Pushdown....)
Even in my high Volume Phases (16-20 Sets per Muscle Group)
My workouts are maximum a bit more than an hour long because it is so time saving
Invest in a home gym. Finance the equipment if you have to. Think of the monthly payments as a gym membership. And eventually you'll pay it off and never have to use a commercial gym ever again
i think dropset with superset will help gaining muscle much faster then traditional and superset..... superset will do okay if less people in gym.. can use leg extinction machine doing 4 option with is top leg,leg curls, 2 glutes position
Only problem is training in busy gyms at peak time, you'd need a training partner to hold each piece of equipment & swap back and forth
Menno was with Brad, Dr. Mike was and now Dr. Pak. When will be Milos time, for an audience with the Muscle God
Intresting.
It’s not really building muscle faster. It’s just reducing your time in the gym/ being more efficient. Sounds like the muscles themselves are growing at the same rate.
!!!!!
Please talk overreaching: good bad ugly? Should I functionally overreach
Lol i did exactly that my last session, supersetting backsquat into rdl as my first superset. Rest was isolation work though
So train the same period of time, supersetting to the moon, theres no brakes on the gain train
If sometjing is half the calories you can eat twice as much
Holy buckets!
try heavy ass squats then first then you see some major fatigue in the other exercises
Supersets are great if you have a private gym. If you have to work out in a commercial gym, like most of us, I don’t think they’re very realistic. If you can do the two exercises in the superset on the same piece of equipment that’s fine, but if you need two different machines, or other separate equipment, then they’re very hard to implement. They did address that issue in this video. I still think they underestimated the inconvenience of supersets, however.
Just grab a pair of DBs and take them to the machine you’re using or even try BW exercises. Additionally you can do a ton of supersets on cable pulleys etc
@@Dr__Pak That works for some exercises, but as in the example Dr. Schoenfeld mentioned (Leg Extensions & Leg Curls), dumbbells aren’t going to do anything for you. There are some work arounds, but overall, in a commercial gym, it’s going to be more trouble than it’s worth.

@@Dr__Pak I appreciate your taking the time to list so many examples. I agree with most of the upper body pairings. The leg exercises all seem to be with cables, which I personally find very awkward and uncomfortable. I’m not going to trade all of my barbell and machine leg exercises for cable versions. I’m not trying to force any narrative, or even to be combative. I love Dr. Schoenfeld, and we all owe a ton to his research. This video is fantastic and contains a lot of great information. I won’t, however, be swapping out my leg day routines for cable alternatives just to be able to do supersets. You, and everyone else watching this video, are obviously free to choose any exercises they wish.
@@chrisschutze2315 Nobody said to change all your exercises to supersets 😁I just think that the statement claiming that supersets in a commercial gym are "more trouble than they're worth" is hyperbolic and somewhat invalid. That is all ❤
When I think of Brad's recommendations, I wouldn't say he's pro lots of volume of massive volume.
Its hard to do super sets at a standard gym because there are other people. I can't stand people that hog machines. Pet peeve of mine. One alternative is to super set with a buddy that way you can trade off of course the rest periods will be a lot shorter.
Would just make sense to recommend if you're not completely fatigued and out of breath or nauseous then you can add supersets just fine lol. Sometimes we don't really need more evidence to know this like we have human intuition and logic.
A lot of people don’t have a reasonable expectation of how hard they need to train - telling them they need to sit on the edge of breathlessness or nausea is way harder than they are ready for.
great
charles staley edt bout to make a comeback
What's the "minimal effective warm-up for injury prevention?" We older and injury-prone athletes can't jump in and do 8-12 reps to failure, as this study did. Including a warmup in time-constrained lifting is difficult. Do you have any suggestions? Might make a great video.
There isn't any miracle solution, you simply have to do your warmup sets. I think 2 warmup sets before your first movement is best. First set at 50 % of your top set, second set at 75%.
That being said you don't need to do warm up sets before every exercise if you're training the same muscle. Taking an extra 5-10 min to include warm ups is worth it and not a big time difference.
@kw1213 My super time-saver routine is one set of 15 reps three times per week with no warmup, and I've had gains with that. I think I'll switch to two sets of 15 reps twice a week with one warmup set. If I'm thinking about it correctly, that should be more volume, more recovery days, plus a small warmup for a similar total time. I'd love thoughts or feedback from the good folks here.
Any change in bodyfat percentage between groups, as in, did the superset group lose some bodyfat?
Whas it no rest at all at the supersets?

@@Dr__Pak thanks. Would love to see a similar study with more volume.
Brad the "this is my failure" Schoenfeld
Super sets is just not practical in packed gym..
For the hogging multiple machines things, I put my bag at the main machine and then I usually phrase it as "Can I work in with you, whenever you rest? :)" at the next machine I need to use. At least where I'm at most people are nice. Usually they're not like "No dude, I have to sit here and look at my phone for a few minutes so you can't do leg curls, even though it's 2 seconds of adjustment." Switching up the implements helps a lot to, like barbells, DBs and machines within the super or giant set. It has led to some issues where an old fella says "What gives you the right to do the Smith machine bench AND row machine? How much longer do you have on the Smith?" and I just tell them they can work in on either machine I'm using I'll adjust it for them. It definitely has led to some issues where people can't fathom doing 2-3 exercises at the same time for different muscle groups, but it saves time.

"They all had at least one year of resistance training and some of them were quite large."- So, the study was done on a bunch of fat (and, on occasion, obese) people who were (for the most part) novices at the gym. Doesn't sound so good without the deceptive doublespeak now, does it?
Want to bet that many of our studies’ participants are more jacked than you? We will be including anonymised video footage of the participants of our upcoming ROM study.
Also, read the paper, the participants were indeed not obese and had plenty of training experience.
Ok you guys need to be careful with this nausea stuff, im pretty sure i just got memed into nausea post workout.
Never had nausea post workout my entire life until the first workout post watching this video lmao.
Supersets are the bees knees
Time weights (sic) for no man 😉
He have no cains tho
He don’t know nuthin’
Supersets do require being more "fit" as they are more intense
I am at the end of my bulk and I am gassed from my normal training ngl
that is why I highly recommend resting a bit between the sets. You do not have to go straight into the next exercise. This should solve the issue unless work capacity is terrible, but that should develop over time with this type of training.
Brad looking rough
Interesting information. In the interview, you guys said the goal was to get more people doing resistance training.
I think it's more important to get people to realize how important it is to their aging self to start and keep on weight training. If we keep on explaining this and having more elderly people put their videos on UA-cam, that's better than rushing thru a training session. I think focusing on time is counter productive for society, for qualty of sets and exercise.
Its like when i see people walking their dog and using the phone at the same time. Maybe you can say you're saving time and getting more done, but the relationship between your dog and you is not getting better as far as quality is concerned.
I've trained dogs and walking your pet mindfully is the best bonding and practicing communication time you can get.
Same thing with muscle training. I think mindfully working out is better for humans over all.
I do have friends that superset alot. And their whole life is a rush. Their big, but not happy. Not all of course.
Just my opinion. ✌️😊
I will try some superset just to say i gave it a good effort.
