What's the video of? can't see at work :(

I reckon more volume is just a good way of expending more energy and breaking down muscle a little bit more, without requiring more effort*

*by effort I mean the more scientific definition, which I can't seem to put into words :/

Research indicates that volume training leads to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

I felt like I could have done more but I had no grip on the bar. I tried with and without gloves; on the 5th rep the bar fell out of my hands so I stopped.

I tried for a second rep but couldn't lock it out.

There's no scientific reason for it, I don't know enough about that lol. I've just always felt that volume training works well for maintaining a lean, athletic looking body and good mental / physical endurance (slow twitch fibers etc.). Seems to be less prone to injury due to less weight (no slip in technique, particularly training without a coach) and it also gives you a bit of a cardio workout at the same time, particularly with the compounds.

We use low rep / 1RM training at the end of the sets to introduce new weight when we feel we are ready to step up. To me this has always been about training to have more left in the tank no matter what you've been doing beforehand / how crap you feel. Again, no scientific basis, but I love training this way.

I have introduced it to a few people and the result is usually a decent amount of muscle and fat loss, even with an average diet. If you look up German Volume Training, some of the principles are similar, albeit with slightly less sets.

It's not the most efficient way to build strength, but I find it works fairly well on that part, too, as long as you're not looking to be a power lifter,

the bold section is somewhat true however the rep range that you are working to is off for maintaining as you are still working to the magic HYPERTROPHY side of muscle growth (sub 12reps) not to mention doesnt include enough cardio based HR so not exactly getting a 100% from the workout designed.

super setting and low weight higher reps is idealy where you would like to be for this instance in the perfect world

Leesh noticed this comment from Bulk Nutrients today during their lunchtime Q & A

When it comes to "bulking up with muscle" in regards to a female - ask any of our top female professionals on this very Facebook page how extremely DIFFICULT this is to do for a woman. It will not happen over night and it sure won't be the cause of a protein powder. Sure, carb and fat bulk can happen rapidly, as well as a heap of water build up, but in no way will muscle suddenly just appear on a female without some serious serious planning and dedication.

That is from Bulk in regards to a women asking about a powder that wont make her bulk up much, but I thought it was appropriate to some of the things you have said.

This is 100% true. Female lack certain hormones and thus (without roids) can not build muscle. Well thats not entirely true but the maximum is around 1 - 3kg of muscle and as stated years in the making.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
