Woah, it's almost as if the guy is just a grifter that's trying to sell you a bunch of useless shit and doesn't actually know what he's talking about.
This shit never fails me. I even verified with this with how he keeps saying he's a "doctor" but his thesis was over shit we already know, 40g of protein per meal is optimal. That was his thesis. He also didn't actually do any independent research and instead it's just a book report.
>two exercises per muscle group >three sets per exercise
At two sessions per week that's 12 sets, at three sessions you get 18 sets. 18 is close enough to 20 I guess.
He literally just did a video with another scientist about how much lower volume than that can already lead to near optimal gains. Basically 6-10 sets per muscle group could already lead to 80% of your maximum potential muscle growth, and somewhere in the 10-20 sets range could gain you the remaining 20%. So you don't really need your 20-30 sets if you just want the most bang for buck but you might need it if you want to realize optimal gains.
I'm pretty sure it was about both, and there were several studies cited, some of which actually focused on strength gains, but the rule of thumb I paraphrased also referred to hypertrophy gains.
You guys are garbage with nuance and context. It must be reading comprehension. The upper boundary of volume is higher for quads than we thought before you hit diminishing returns. That's literally the take away. And no, it's not clear if you can replicate this across all muscles. In fact if you just tried to do your same split but with hella volume you'd probably lose gains because of the CNS stress. But if you wanna focus strictly on your quads for a month or two then yea go wild.
I like Israetel. Been watching a lot of RP content recently and been implementing a lot of their stuff into my own training. And it's actually been helping.
And he isn't always "do moar moar moar volume!!1!" - He's actually made videos talking about reducing volume.
According to studies, newbies had very little difference doing 1 set and 3 sets per muscle. It's just diminishing returns with a risk of frying your cns and killing your joints. Just do whatever you can handle and whatever works best for you.
I personally do 2 drop sets twice per week, which guve you 90% of gains from doing 6 sets to failure, and it works like a charm. Ocassionally 3 drop sets if feeling like it. Or doing 3 regular sets and then 2 drop sets if I want to put and accent on that specific muscle.
This.
That's why programs like 5/3/1 work much better for the overwhelming majority of people than shit like sheiko or bulgarian.
Turns out that it's just better to train at a manageable pace than max out every time and burn yourself out.

Yeah and? You do that on every shitty bro split or PPL program out there
You pretty much have to do 30-40 if you leave as many reps in reserve as this guy.
He has a israelitey name and a israelitey voice. I don't like him.
He looks like shit too. Nothing aesthetic about him.
Good lord he even has meat chunks on the side of his head.
Muscular but has the aesthetics of a meat ball.
his physique is just what you get from a manlet who does HGH

i'm a volumechad and ran one of his programs the last two weeks were too much volume for me even
Aren't they supposed to be self-regulating?
he is 5'5
>Woah, it's almost as if the guy
then why is he promoted by israelitel video streaming services, makes no sense
>why is a israelite promoting misinfo being promoted by israelites

Typical cico shill.
Zamn, why they don't use that instead of bloody silicone

That video was about strength gains not muscle growth

See how easy that was?
My CNS doesnt get stressed from volume because
a) Im not a b***h
b) I eat right
c) that only happens to homosexuals
Lmao junk volume doesn't count buddy but okay. If you're not feeling any stress, then you're not lifting enough weight.
God how could you be so stupid to just rat on yourself like this lmfao lanklet

10-15 is enough.
that was only for specialization blocks, you're not meant to do that all the time.

freal tho why does he have sooooooooo many pretending-to-be-gay jokes in his videos? honest question
Because he's gay.
Reddit humour
When this little guy is sitting behind his desk in his videos he looks like my 1 year old son, but uglier.
Yeah that is the industry standard bro…
never trust a russian israelite
One set per week to failure with maximum intensity is enough.
too much try never working out rest causes muscle grown not lifting
