It is? I tossed a handful of empty soda bottles into mine. Not exactly sure why, pretty sure it's got something to do with stimulus to fatigue ratio tho
no, it`s only 80-90%, that`s why he jokes around so much, because if there was only knowledge people wouldnt watch every video over the long term. Only 80-90% is sustainable
S:FR changed my muscle building results. I was the literal definition/poster child of "training to absolutely, unequivocal failure" on each set. Switched to doing nearly DOUBLE the total volume because I switched to leaving 1 "ehh yeah its doable" rep in the tank and never ever doing the absolutely failure "if you dont get this rep I kill your family". Not exaggerating. leaving these 2 reps in the tank each set gave me INSANE recovery ability, instantly blew past my plateaus as well. And besides the muscle gains upprbody, im a full time "pro" cyclists who kills it 15-20hrs of hard cardio each week ontop.
@@winterMB91 stopping each set 2 reps from total world destruction level failure. The fatigue accrued from from those final 2 reps literally cut my weekly "total body sets" that I could recover from in half. I used to be able to eeek out about ~30sets and have ok recovery but when I said f it lets keep 2 in the tank I instantly and again not exaggerating, DOUBLED to 60-70 total sets per week last 2 months and not only have I seen more growth but my performance on the bike is more stable because I have less total systemic fatigue from obliterating my entire upper body 30x a week. All this said, im 180lbs and 6ft, so its not like im anywhere near the natural muscle limit...
Same. Over the past couple years I’ve discovered that higher volume (~20-25) on many muscle groups (eg chest) is way better for me, but I can only sustain that by leaving a couple in the tank. Discovering that has allowed me to grow more over the last year than I’ve grown over the previous 10 years. Back then I was treading water without realizing it, unfortunately.
Hey, I’m in this exact position. I do ppl and push everything to failure, and I’m never recovered even though I do like 1-4 sets per work muscle per workout. So you recommend lowering intensity and increasing volume?
Something that's help me is, implementing posture that'd be used in training for everyday things. Not reps or sets, get use to the posture & movement and do it for how long it would take regularly if you didn't. It'll help boost confidence cause you're familiar with the movement. Ex. Picking up 4 grocery bags from the floor, lift it like a dead lift and do arm curls until you get to the counter- those bags are just dumb bells. Need something on bottom shelf of fridge or drawers, do a nice deep squat. Getting up from a seat, do a nice big stretch. Rising out of bed, do a slow roll up to engage the core since you're already half way there from the exercise. Good luck, take it slow and enjoy getting back in training!
@@ZalvaTionZ I think you're confusing Rep Ranges which is an absolute number with Reps in Reserve (or Rate of Perceived Exertion) which is a subjective feeling of how many more you can do. "Reps" and "debunk" ring like the old idea of 8-12 reps being the gold rep range for all exercises for hypertrophy. That, has been debunked.
Would love to see a video on the difference of fast and slow twitch muscle fiber workouts and what types of athletes would benefit most from the difference in these workouts.
This video doesn't just apply to working out. I need to apply these principles to most if not all aspects of my life. ...it's probably the single most helpful video I've ever watched. Thanks Dr. Mike
2:20 clearly Dr.Mike doesn’t know Germany where we red line cars in the highest gear on ends. That’s where German volume training stems from by the way
SFR really is applicable to so many areas of life. Appreciate you sharing where you have screwed it up in the past though. It can be hard to get right! More is more until it's not more anymore. Pushing that last little bit is seductive and if you do it once or twice, it doesn't cause many problems. Then you find yourself totally burned out 2 months later.
@@hpholland I was talking more about how "just a liiiitle bit more," is hard to say no to. In lifting, it's fun to test your max and set PRs. When I was into video games, it was "just one more match." Even in work, I will fall into the trap of pushing more hours: "oh I just need to grind another few days to get some breathing room." (and then there's always more work to do anyway, and I'm even more tired) So to use the cleaning analogy, I'm saying it's funny that the 99.9% clean can be so attractive in the moment. It's not logical but it feels right, and it's free if you only do it a bit. But it's burning the candle at both ends and you can burn out, injure yourself, damage your relationship with your family etc. It catches up to you. I appreciated Mike's example, because I'm not a spring chicken anymore, and I still make stupid mistakes all the time.
I just had to take a full week off. Been pushing very hard for 3 months hitting rep pr's every workout. Got to a point where my body just could not continue, joints hurt, lack of wanting to hit the gym, pumps were not the same and I stopped feeling recovered workout to workout. I feel this video so much. Starting it up again this week in a deload format to continue the recovery.
the fact that i see yall taking breaks after 3 months and im here after one year of training like a maniac,always having headaches and feeling like shit still not wanting to quit cuz i dont want to feel ashamed of myself😭
Story of my life, but i've learned about myself that I just can't train if it's not balls to the wall...I would much rather take some time off then. At the end of the day, you need to enjoy what you do, what is "optimal" may be a different story alltogether...
Hey Dr. Mike and Scott, great video and amazing information. But my only critique is that I'm not a huge fan of all the jump cuts and it makes this video feel more "off-brand" to a certain extent. I'm not sure how to put it but it feels a little off. but overall great video and great editing. Keep up the good work.
I really needed this knowledge I’ve been going hard for months now and couldn’t figure why my sleep is good any more why my workouts aren’t the same anymore and here you answered it all.
What a timing man. Just watched the whole video, as a masochist in the gym people who walk by will see a single tear running down my cheek as i stop at 1-3 reps from failure. Gotta give it a try and some thought (maybe the next week or this one. I don't even know yet.)
Switched to the RP app back in December and it completely changed the game for me. I was a “to failure” only kind of guy for years. I’ve grown substantially and my best friend/training partner (who qualified for the O in classic) also had the best off season he’s ever had. We’re living proof training “less” hard can have way better results.
I needed this video. I struggle with this exact issue i feel like im not working out if im not going to failure. This opened my eyes because im getting way less sets a week
Bottomline: Don't train the shit out of yourself because you will spend so much time to recover and training duration will be shorter in the long term.
Same, but it's only a weird language selection screen by the look of it. I managed to get it on my phone by changing the speed to 0.25x and repeatedly pausing
I remember watching a baseball game that Dennis Eckersley was commentating, and he said something like this about the rookie pitcher: "This guy's gonna be great. He's got some real talent. He needs to learn to not always give his best stuff though." And I remember thinking 'Wait, what? He needs to learn to pitch worse?? What???' And then Eck continued: "That way he's got his best stuff when he needs it." And I went 'Ohhhh...!'
The big section about the room cleaning reminds me of something called "Service Level Objectives" in computer service reliability and I think the fact that SLOs somehow loop back around and apply to getting jacked is WILD. Let's say you have a service you want people to be able to use, since, y'know, why else would you have a service. Let's say you get 100k requests per second (this is normal, roll with it). Getting that thing 90% reliable is pretty easy. Every second you can throw 10k requests on the floor and shrug. Getting that thing 99% reliable is pretty hard, but doable, you can still throw 1k on the floor every second. 99.9%? Shit's getting rough. You need to serve 99900 requests perfectly every second and only get 100 requests of leeway. 99.99%? Your SREs are going to tell you no and either quit or tell you to try again because they ain't meeting that. In terms of time of 100% outage per year, you can have over a month at 90% and... Like... Several minutes? I think it's about 20 minutes? at 99.99%. These concepts seem totally unrelated, but I think it's cool that they line up so perfectly. That extra effort to get to 99.99% is just not worth it in almost any context, whether it's web services or getting jacked.
I'm an SRE and I had the same thought when he was going through that. I've had conversations with non technical people about having services have 4 9s of uptime(99.99%) for systems where thats massively overkill. I tell them how much time, effort and money it would cost to implement and all of a sudden 3 9s is plenty. Even the difference between 99.95 and 99.99 is herculean depending on what we're talking about
I think this applies to any job. In my experience, you can either have things done "ok" at speed or perfectly at a *much* lower speed (with a sliding scale in between those two extremes). In my various jobs over decades, it's been hard to explain to a client why expecting perfection isn't reasonable unless they are willing to pay probably double what 80-90% costs. It very much is a non-linear relationship.
I have been in a state of emotional numbness for like weeks now due to some medication ish but bro im dieing not only at this dude but the comments tho 😂☠️ i love people so much ❤️ lol really needed this great info with a giggle 😅
Another interesting metric for further research would be how many times you can "redline," how often, and each instance's duration correlated with long-term degredation of output capability.
Here's a great analogy I used to not study for my test but I would just pay really good attention in class usually resulted in me getting about 80%. If I had studied just an extra 15-20 minutes of night I'd probably have gotten 90 to 95%. But for me to get 99% I'm putting in an hour at least a night if not more to get that 99%. 80% is pretty god damn good for 0% extra effort.
I work with a couple guys who tell me they do 30 sets of chest twice a week. They workout for 45 min. I always think there's no way they are pushing those sets anywhere close to failure
22:31 I was such a strange child. When my dad took me to the go kart track then I was like 10 that’s exactly how I was attempting to drive and I thought it was really fun to time my turns and hit the straight away as fast as I could. I really got into it
Car guy here, engine analogies are like 40% accurate but I love it. I think those of us who know better know what you mean. Highway miles are easier than city miles, but high rpms do wear the engine at a higher rate, many vehicles can maintain 100mph at a reasonable rpm and you actually see increases in fuel economy and you'll get more miles out of the engine over time because you go more miles for the same engine wear, overtraining is like flooring it at every stop light.
Would love to see a video of Dr. Mike breaking down what his training will look like now that he wants to focus on BJs. I mean BJJ. And just his overall thoughts/recommendation on how to manage non-competitive weight and combat training for folks who just want to look good and move good in the ring/on the mats.
Mike here’s a better example in my opinion to explain the SFR. The parking lot theory (let’s say you can only go in one lane at a time in order). If there is 20% of the lot taken, finding the parking spot is easy. 70% and it’s still quite easy but a good hit harder. 90% and your car has to travel up and down for far exponentially longer for the same parking spots.
Think as a woman a better cleaning the room analogy would be for shaving - easy to do the usual areas legs under arms etc...but having to do the other 9% toes bum top lip etc takes ages and yeah...is really tough. Also; risk of injury also goes up massively. Dr Mike thanks for all the content/advice etc; you can happily use this analogy in the future XD
I had a track coach tell me once, I want you to beat your time from last week, but I want you to beat it by as little as possible. I think about that a lot when I'm trying to make sustainable gains.
"One subtracted from the other". If it's a ratio, why isn't it divided by? If you take Stim/Fatigue, the peak is at 4 sets. If you do Stim-Fat, then peak is at 10 sets. As the units for Stimulus and Fatigue are different (presumably), then subtraction makes no sense.
I’m currently spinning my wheels training every muscle twice per week, 6-7 Sets per session and pretty much all of them to failure or beyond (lengthened partials and dropsets). I never get sore, i always thought i’m doing too little. Been stuck at the same weight for months, thought it was because of my diet but even after eating at maintenance and now in a surplus i still couldn’t make significant progress. I’m always stressed, always tired, my mind is all over the place. After my last deload i went straight back to training this way and in a week i was fucked up again. Seems like it’s a good idea to cut back on the intensity. Currently deloading, after that i’ll start with 5 sets and 2 RIR for the first 2 weeks, see how i feel, then add sets/weight if i feel like I’m finally getting stronger again. Thanks Dr. Mike 🙏

Start today get a jog or quick at home workout in stop the procrastination

Can we get a dedicated video about "Junk Volume", too? It is kinda related to SFR, but I think it deserves its own video.
Junk Volume = Volume of sets that are not in the 1-3(/4) RIR range and thus not effective stimuli. There you go :D
@@perryschnabel it's probably more nuanced than that, considering exercise overlap and such.

I saw that missing frame, scott be slippin.
I tried pausing it many times to see what it said, but I couldn't stop on it. Glad to not be the only one who saw it lol

Another interesting metric for further research would be how many times you can "redline," how often, and each instance's duration correlated with long-term degredation of output capability.
Here's a great analogy I used to not study for my test but I would just pay really good attention in class usually resulted in me getting about 80%. If I had studied just an extra 15-20 minutes of night I'd probably have gotten 90 to 95%. But for me to get 99% I'm putting in an hour at least a night if not more to get that 99%. 80% is pretty god damn good for 0% extra effort.
I fucking love you, Dr Mike, and all of your content. A+ shit
The best advice I ever got from your channel is to do less. Either less volume or more rest days. I've gotten out of a couple years of plateau.
Great topic. Mentzer explains this good too.
Building a skyscraper analogy paints a better picture than that nerd chart Dr. Mike ❤
the "clean your room" analogy is very good. As someone struggled with OCD I have much personal experience with this shit.
I work with a couple guys who tell me they do 30 sets of chest twice a week. They workout for 45 min. I always think there's no way they are pushing those sets anywhere close to failure
And, if they are, they're destroying their muscles far faster than they can be stimulated to rebuild.
If I pump my iron at home first, I’m less likely to get hard while working out
😂 Hilarious.

22:31 I was such a strange child. When my dad took me to the go kart track then I was like 10 that’s exactly how I was attempting to drive and I thought it was really fun to time my turns and hit the straight away as fast as I could. I really got into it
SFR
Cost-benefit analysis
Risk-reward ratio
Amount of resources per unit product/outcome
Etc.
@ 14:30 "You don't want to train at Tier one that's f****** stupid" - bahahhahahahahah
Dr Mike u are amazing thanks for all your work you doing for us. (Sorry if that comment soubd weird but my english isn't soo good)
Car guy here, engine analogies are like 40% accurate but I love it. I think those of us who know better know what you mean. Highway miles are easier than city miles, but high rpms do wear the engine at a higher rate, many vehicles can maintain 100mph at a reasonable rpm and you actually see increases in fuel economy and you'll get more miles out of the engine over time because you go more miles for the same engine wear, overtraining is like flooring it at every stop light.
Would love to see a video of Dr. Mike breaking down what his training will look like now that he wants to focus on BJs. I mean BJJ.
And just his overall thoughts/recommendation on how to manage non-competitive weight and combat training for folks who just want to look good and move good in the ring/on the mats.
Buongiorno Dottor Mike, complimenti per la qualità dei suoi contenuti.
Mike here’s a better example in my opinion to explain the SFR. The parking lot theory (let’s say you can only go in one lane at a time in order). If there is 20% of the lot taken, finding the parking spot is easy. 70% and it’s still quite easy but a good hit harder. 90% and your car has to travel up and down for far exponentially longer for the same parking spots.
Think as a woman a better cleaning the room analogy would be for shaving - easy to do the usual areas legs under arms etc...but having to do the other 9% toes bum top lip etc takes ages and yeah...is really tough. Also; risk of injury also goes up massively. Dr Mike thanks for all the content/advice etc; you can happily use this analogy in the future XD
I had a track coach tell me once, I want you to beat your time from last week, but I want you to beat it by as little as possible.
I think about that a lot when I'm trying to make sustainable gains.
My last job was max out every day, burned out, no sleep, over eating. Happier to be in my new job, lifting again, and losing weight!
"One subtracted from the other". If it's a ratio, why isn't it divided by? If you take Stim/Fatigue, the peak is at 4 sets. If you do Stim-Fat, then peak is at 10 sets. As the units for Stimulus and Fatigue are different (presumably), then subtraction makes no sense.
😵💫
I am literally at this very moment cleaning our place to 99% before listing on the market. That analogy hit hard 😢
thnks for teaching me stuff like this dr mike, i love learning abt this stuff.

beautiful room cleaning analoigy
I love your English accent you should do a whole show with it
oooo subliminal flash at 20:24. And yes I managed to pause it haha
Petition to have the image of Dr. Mike @4:42 to be the new face of Mr. Clean.
I’m currently spinning my wheels training every muscle twice per week, 6-7 Sets per session and pretty much all of them to failure or beyond (lengthened partials and dropsets). I never get sore, i always thought i’m doing too little. Been stuck at the same weight for months, thought it was because of my diet but even after eating at maintenance and now in a surplus i still couldn’t make significant progress. I’m always stressed, always tired, my mind is all over the place. After my last deload i went straight back to training this way and in a week i was fucked up again. Seems like it’s a good idea to cut back on the intensity. Currently deloading, after that i’ll start with 5 sets and 2 RIR for the first 2 weeks, see how i feel, then add sets/weight if i feel like I’m finally getting stronger again. Thanks Dr. Mike 🙏
