Barbell 1 Show — Weight Training - Volume

  Like any topic – say volume means the most gains, or undulating perioidization always means better gains, I think the biggest proponents of these stances would lead you to believe there is no debate and all strength and conditioning professionals agree. I like to show studies like today where there are some people that continue to challenge the “accepted” conventions.

  As you know if you’re a regular listener of the show I typically review original research articles, but occasionally I do cover reviews of research and we have one of those articles today. Often times the reason I don’t cover reviews is because I was to avoid a potential extra layer of bias in interpreting the research, but reality is most people writing an in depth review of a topic are going to be quite while versed in the content and I think reading a few reviews gives a little bit of checks and balances – more than likely...

  I have mentioned openly on the show before that despite knowing one does not have to always train to failure for optimal gains, it is how I personally enjoy training the most. So when I saw this new article on the subject, I wanted to cut my bias and once again look at the topic from a scientific perspective.
