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.
