This is the greatest fitness channel on TH-cam, I base all my workouts and fitness strategies around your advice, thanks for all your videos you put out there Matt!
👍 Case and context specific, and also depending of the time. Today a hundred might be right, tomorrow not. So obvious when your think about it, and so difficult to 👀 see Cheers
I applied an adaptive approach of late, thanks to Matt 😊 I use time instead of sets and reps, by just applying 10 minutes per exercise. The sets, reps, rest periods will change each workout, and also the amount of exercises. Depending on how I feel on the day 🤷♂️ The main focus is form.
One of the advantages of training for skill and strength is that your results are visible through your ability to perform a higher skill. Eventually, every mode of training succumbs to the law of diminishing returns. The higher your skill level, strength, or endurance the more effort you’ll have to put in to achieve miniscule gains. But, I get what you’re saying here, Matt. Just adding more volume doesn’t necessarily equate to achieving improvement.
I like this idea! Something I'd love to get to. However, I suppose this is kinda like autoregulation at a micro level and certainly way too advanced for me to trust myself to decide what has been an adequate stimulus. So a set progression scheme where volume is slowly progressed over time and a deload occurs, is my simple/dumb approach.
I've always thought that training hard and little for little time was the real junk volume killer . 15-20 crappy low effort sets are what makes for junk volume imo . You shouldn't be able to work past half of that number if you worked hard enough

Absolutely spot on Matt. Fabulous content.

It's better to get one set in everyday concatenating on form and feeling invigorated than trying to grind out 5 sets once or twice a week.
Try it out for a takes notes on your progress if it doesn’t you need more volume regardless you won’t loose gains so it’s all trial and error
