LOW VOLUME vs HIGH VOLUME TRAINING | Whats the best way? | Christian Thibaudeau | RBP CLIPS 

omg fouad you teaser , i been waitin for the whole thing ever since you brought it up in the last chat .. hey jokes aside .. i know its work for you but thanks for sharing your knowledge cheers bruh

Awesome! Do you know around what time on Monday?

Bro you did it 🤩 I wrote to you on IG months ago to reach out to Christian ! I am so hyped for the full podcast 🙌🏼

Looking forward to it, thanks.

Awesome so far! Looking forward to Monday! Enjoy Tampa Pro!

As someone who is obsessed with Johns training programs, I really loved your reply here. I also think he is really on to something I have just not been able to express it in that way.

John who?

@@TorAndreKongelf Fuck, i should have known that...thank you...

@@TorAndreKongelf are you going through any of his programs at the moment? I’m revisiting colossus, and am going to start avalanche once I’m through.

your right i did try low volume ,but hight volume (heavy weights )did best for me

Same here! Switched up and now I have less nagging injuries and shoulder pain as well. I love it

same. My strength started exploding when I dropped my volume. I also recover better.

I think what you like most and are able to push yourself the most is what works the best.

Probably because you decreased fatigue with less junk volume and recover better between workouts. Then for each subsequent workout you have a fresher/more recovered nervous system which allows for more motor unit recruitment and more fibers experiencing tension. Chris Beardsley and Paul Carter are very good at explaining how mechanical tension and nervous system fatigue governs hypertrophy

Foud has a training style video on that he talks about pyramiding the heavy compound lifts and straight sets for burning out isolation lifts.

I seriously believe ppl are different,but for me it was the opposite,I wasn't really low volume more moderate but focused on heavier weight less volume for a set of 6-10 reps max and got better results,and this was after years of lifting

@@willthomas7666 yeah it's all different for each person based on their goals, what they're training for & how they enjoy training so it doesn't become a issue with actually going to get a workout in

@@C-24-Brandan yeah I agree.ive seen guys that were huge who trained lower weight more volume and it def. Worked for them,I did it for years and got to a certain point,and then when I did less volume more weight I grew

@@willthomas7666 yah there is no right or wrong answer it's individual specific for the most part

The guys on MindPump podcast preach that the best stimulus is whatever your body is not used to, so if you usually train low volume/high intensity switching to high volume will produce greatest short term gains and vice versa.

I do to,I literally think all the extra volume is almost pointless,I've tried both methods and found lower volume heavier weight more beneficial

What formula?

@@RPEpsilon-lc4vm Basically it started with a philosophy, or maybe more of a thought experiment about how people put a ton of thought and effort into picking their workouts, exercises, set/rep scheme, pre/peri/post nutrition, diet, and so forth, but when it came to the reps themselves they just grip it and rip it. His idea was to focus on each individual rep and try to maximize every part of every rep. Focusing on a slow, controlled eccentric motion, followed by a smooth but immediate transition, and an explosive concentric portion. That's all pretty much common knowledge, and common practice these days among even semi-serious lifters, except for the transition part, which is where I think he really wanted to focus. Everybody knows about eccentric/concentric and how each worked, but his theory was that there was one last place to squeeze out some optimization in the transition between the two. Honestly I don't remember what his reasoning was as far as the mechanics of the muscle and fiber activation and what have you, but the idea was to flip from the stretch to the contraction as immediately as possible. I'm sure I'm doing a terrible job explaining it, but was intriguing, and it's a method I still use virtually every workout. I wonder if they have it archived on T-Nation, or if that site even exists anymore, lol

I am 19 years old and have been training for almost 2 years now. I realized low volume is best for me. I go all out on 1 or 2 sets per exercises. I can’t give it my all and recover if I do high volume. A lot would be garbage sets.

Injury risk is a huge factor because the most important thing for growth is consistent progressive loading over long periods of time. I tend to have joints that get banged up so protecting my joints is a top priority. But I know some guys whose joints never get sore.

This. Hard work is the most important part of the journey.

OLD SCHOOL!!!! Hell yea!

What about fucking to failure?

Literally what are you even talking about?

that's... not how they work...

I have read plenty of med literature. My cousin is a doctor and we often chat about steroids, peds etc. I know exactly what Iam speaking of. Its not my fault you dont understand it. As a natty there is no "constant flow of steroids to your muscle". So all you need to to is lift frequently, to do actual damage to the muscle and also of course to give him a signal to grow. When using peds your body is full of steroids, so you want the steroid molecules (test, dbol, var, npp, eq, whatever) to circulate as much arround the muscle as possible so they contantly attach to your androgen receptores in the muscle.

@@nemiw4429 First, you don't "destroy" the muscle. You use mechanical tension to create a adaptive response due to the stress on the muscle tissue. Whether natty or not, that is the same. Secondly, muscle wise, nutrients are transported via glycogen, which also helps carry branch chain amino acids broken down from proteins. Nitric oxide is produced in the muscle during workouts for many benefits, one of them being to uptake the glycogen/energy during a workout & therefore protein uptake. Again this is the same whether natty or not. The increased testosterone from taking steroids (whichever one it is) then increases the nitric oxide produced, which allows more of the protein you consumed (and then broken down) to be transported into the muscle, during and post-workout. There's more that happens ofc with neuro-transmitters & DNA signalling but keeping it simple. Thirdly, everything is broken down in your body and processed. You don't have steroids flowing around your body like that, attaching to things. HOWEVER, you do have androgen receptors throughout the body, which if you look into will see is not the same as what you imply.

@@danielstacey7785 do you think Im gona battle it out with smart words now to appear intelligent in a yt comment. Nobody cares about the details. They are here to train, not to learn for med school. Edit: Of course you have steroids in your blood after they are broken down from the ester.
