  Eric Helms of Team 3DMJ discusses the most important variables in resistance training programming - volume, intensity, and frequency and shares a nice compilation of research backed advice on these areas.

  So now that we have more research that tells us lifting lighter weights can still be good for muscle size gains assuming we accumulate enough volume it’s always good to test some of the theories behind why the light training may have benefit. Some would say maybe it is because taking a light set all the way to fatigue may recruit all possible muscle fibers – slow twitch for a while and then finally fast twtitch until the muscle is completely exhausted – but is this just a theory or is there actually sound data to support it –...

  Eric Helms, MS - PhD Candidate provides today's guest hosted content in the form of Level 1 of his Muscle and Strength Training Pyramid which helps lifters of all levels gain a better grasp of priorities in trainining programming.

  People give a lot of short term performance rationales about how you should prioritise weight training and cardio – but what about muscle mass gains – does the order make a difference. We examine a new study on this topic in women today.
