Slow Reps vs. Fast Reps & When To Add Sets for Hypertrophy 

I always love hearing Brian's way of unpacking stuff. I'm glad to have more videos on this channel where he's given the platform to share his take on things in a long form. When other people unpack their thinking (especially with research inferences), he lays the assumptions (which are often not emphasized enough) bare with common-sense questions and observations in a way that really shows the intellectual honesty of the people he works with-they don't feel undermined and embarrassed or go on the defensive.

Unrelated topic but I'd like a podcast about the "optimized" first 3-5 years for a total newbie to weight training with a goal toward competitive bodybuilding. And for Eric I was wondering why we never speak about microbiome study and its impact on nutrients assimilation.

Would yall be willing to make a video of performance drop offs set to set, and potentially using that as a gauge for how much work you could/should perform in a session? It’s something I’ve always found interesting and there are also differences I’ve noticed from person to person. I know how someone trains can impact how much rep drop off you see from set to set, but it also seems highly individual in terms of genetics. Women I’ve trained don’t tend to lose many reps from set to set even when training 0-1 RIR, meanwhile some men could see anywhere from a drop off in 1-5 reps after a set to failure. Would it make more sense for the person losing more reps to perform less work, whereas someone whose performance remains more steady set to set able to do more work since their level of fatigue being displayed being lower. It’s something Charles Poliquin talked about a lot, and it makes a lot of sense to me.

For mechanical tension to be effective, the concentric rep speed must become involuntarily slower despite high effort.

It's a bit annoying. Why you are calling Minimum Effective Dose when the actual definition is Minimum Effective Volume? We all know that Mike Israetel came up with the MEV definition, what not give credit for that? It feels like you are bit jealous.
