Muscle for Life

Most weightlifters know that training volume is a crucial factor in maximizing muscle growth. But how much volume is optimal? And at what point does doing more sets become counterproductive? To help answer these questions, I interviewed Dr. Milo Wolf, a published sports scientist, competitive natural bodybuilder, and online coach, known for his deep understanding of the mechanisms that drive hypertrophy. In this episode, we delve into how much volume is optimal for gaining muscle and discuss when higher volumes offer diminishing returns or even harm your muscle-building efforts. Dr. Wolf breaks down the latest research on high-volume training and offers practical tips, including specific volume recommendations and strategies to make high-volume training more practical and time-efficient. Whether you're a beginner looking to build your first 10 pounds of muscle, or an experienced lifter aiming to reach your genetic potential, this episode is packed with evidence-based insights to help you reach your goals.
