@axlewack What I’ve noticed is side delts seem to have a HUGE capacity for volume. I’ll start with 3 or 4 sets of lateral raises, 8-20 reps per set, twice a week. Once I hit the top end of the range range, I’ll start adding more sets. Then, once I’m doing 7 or 8 sets at the top end of the rep...

@paparazi257 When Mike Israetel suggests specializing on two or three body parts at a time and only increasing volume for those body parts for a few mesocycles at a time, should you just keep the others at maintenance volume, or keep them at minimum effective volume and only increase intensity...

@trumpeter2 Yeah, makes sense. Actually just watched a video with Dr. Mike where he talks about that in particular and basically, he says if you’re trying to do so much volume you’re either exceeding that 1.5 to 2 hour mark for one session OR you have to reduce your frequency to less than 2-4x...

@trumpeter2 So what’s the maximum amount of sets you think you could do in a session before eventually fatigue is too much and everything after that just becomes junk volume?

@trumpeter2 My apologies. I mean like total sets per workout. For example if you wanted to take Chest, Back, Shoulders and Arms to MRV in an upper body workout, that’s easily 40 sets in one session (1.5-2 hours at least). I just wonder if it would be so many sets that you would be so fatigued...

@paparazi257 Is there such a thing as total session MRV?

@tinkiepanda Dr Israetel is very knowledgeable, and I would trust anything he put together, however I don’t think it’s worth $100, when you could just easily put together something of your own using the principles and all the free info he’s put out there by yourself. Which is what I’m doing.

@paparazi257 Who is Mike Israetel’s practices supposed to be for? Is supposed to be only for the advanced intermediate to very advanced who can’t necessarily add weight and/or reps regularly? Or can beginners to intermediates train that way to? I’ve heard him mention how beginners and...
