Volume vs. Intensity: What’s Best for Muscle Growth?
Manage episode 475124630 series 1459650
In this episode of The Absolute Strength Podcast, I dive into one of the biggest muscle-building debates: volume vs. intensity. Should you focus on lifting to failure with fewer sets or do long marathon workouts? We break down the history of both training styles—from Arthur Jones and Dorian Yates to the high-volume methods of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Cutler, and modern science-backed training. We also explore what research says, the pitfalls of each approach, and, most importantly, how to apply progressive overload no matter which method you choose. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
