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.

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
