Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

It's actually not in the way you would actually build maximal strength because maximal strength relies on clean, efficient, well-performed repetitions done cumulatively over time.

That's how we get neurologically stronger.

And a lot more volume.

And a lot more volume, right?

Huberman Lab

So that's a different game here.

So for squats and deadlifts, are you taking them to failure?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

No.

Huberman Lab

Same concept as the row.

Huberman Lab

Those big presses like that, or leg movements, I'm not doing true failure on those.

Huberman Lab

I can do other exercises and different variations.

I could do a Bulgarian split squat to failure.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

Mm-hmm.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

Right?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

Because I love that to failure because when I go down and I can't go up anymore, I just simply drop the weights right to the floor right next to me.

So there's different ways to still do squatting patterns without having to put a bar on my back with the heaviest of loads that I can handle and do that.

Per workout, again, probably somewhere between 6 to 10 on some of the smaller muscle groups like the biceps and a little bit more, maybe 10 to 12, 10 to 15 at most if you're looking at some of the larger muscle groups like the quads, like the lats.

i would i would go a little bit more so that breaks down into around if you're doing roughly three sets of exercise you're looking at three to four exercises to get to those larger muscle groups and for the biceps you can get away with doing two two exercises or three exercises for for a total of around seven or eight sets when we do our workout and do our workout like what we do to expose ourselves to more exercises because we can

influence the biceps in different ways a little bit more long head stretch short head focus heavier load more concentration work you could do that just by doing less sets of the exercise and again when you're properly warmed up and if you have enough experience training

Huberman Lab

There is nothing magic about doing three, right?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

We all think three, but like you could do two and then move on to a different exercise that stimulates the biceps differently.
