I mean you could do one high volume day a week if you wanted, but don't stop lifting heavy if you want strength gains.

You should read a chapter in a book on how muscles work. Super Basically*, inb4 know it all fags, they squeeze together tightly and latch onto each other.

To unhook smoothly we need just the right amount of atp to be present. Atp is that thing creatine increases, im sure you heard of it.

If you dont have enough atp present shit tears up left and right in order to unhook itself and you have a ton of metabolic waste and inflammation that your body now has to clean up.

Atp takes up to 3 minutes to be ready so if you do high volume with little to no breaks you didnt give a chance for atp to accumulate and instead you rekt your shit for no reason.

High volume low weight damages the muscles and causes DOMS without inducing hypertrophy, aka no gainz.

So I uselessly wrecked my shit? Yet scooby says DOMS is one of the 3 ways that create Hypertrophy

So doing push-ups = no gains?

Well the thing is if you do this often your bodies going to think youre a retard and it'll equip itself to prevent tears.

But you wont be getting bigger or stronger, it will just be like preemptive care.

I guess after a very very long time you will be safe enough doing this that your body will allow you to get stronger.

I personally got really big pecs never doing anything but flat bench.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It's the medical term for when you're still sore the next day after lifting.
