I just realized you're actually supposed to keep on doi

yeah, idk why the reduce volume to 1/3 suggestion keeps floating around

it doesn't work

maintain volume as much as possible, even if you have to take a little weight off the bar

Volume = Size is the biggest redpill. Volume = weight used x reps. Set structures are secondary, what matters is the volume distribution.

That's why e.g. SS is shit for size (not enough volume for a beginner, which helps the focus on recovery for the lifts) while advanced powerlifting routines with volume work are good, though both have strength as a main goal

Yes. For some reason the entire fitness online world believes:
>strength = muscle mass (strength = moved weight)

But the reality is:
>volume = muscle mass (volume= sets x reps x moved weight)

(this doesn't mean that you don't need overloard in your training btw)

>>42350980
just can just say reps x weight you know

>>42350991
No. Number of sets is biggest lever for managing volume.

What creates more volume?
1 extra rep, 1 extra pound weight or 1 extra set?

>>42349619
roiding for this?!?

I want to kill people

>That's why e.g. SS is shit for size
Its not shit for size. It gives adequate stress for the newbie to gain both strength and size. A newbie does not need to do more.

I believe jordan from the SS coaches forum recommends doing one heavy set followed by 2 sets of 8-12 while cutting. This preserves a decent amount of strength while not overtraining.

>not doing one compound lift in the 5 rep range and then a bunch of supplementary exercises for volume

There is scientifically two main different types of hypertrophy you dingus. When you train at lower reps you gain a denser/thicker muscle mass. When you train at higher reps you gain swoler/puffier muscle mass. Even Dorian "barndoor backdoor genova" Yates, who was known for his muscle density far greater than any other BBer, only trained in the 6-8 rep range. It's why dudes like powerlifters and oly lifters look dense as fucc.


If you train at the 6-8 range, when you cut you can actually make small gains in sarcoplasmic hypertrophy by switching to the 10-12 rep range.

Depending what fucking rep scheme you're going for
5x5 means it doesn't matter between rep or set
5x100 means set
5x3 means rep

Learn basic fucking math brah
