But when you have sufficient protein and calories on top of that, you'll add more than you would have just by resistance training alone.

It's hard for me to say rules because in life, there aren't really many hard rules, but some really strong guidelines, I would say.

Of course, resistance train.

That's the first thing.

But there's a lot of people who go to the gym and they train.

But they're they don't really you don't really see them change.

And that is because you have to be like change, whether it's emotional, psychological, educational, behavioral or muscle mass.

It requires discomfort.

And so if you are not pushing yourself into discomfort when you are resistance training, you're just not going to see changes.

You'll see changes for a very short period of time and then they will plateau and you won't move past that.

So really what you want is to be doing...

your training to sufficient intensity.

And by intensity, I mean proximity to failure.

The research seems to be relatively clear that, you know, between low, and when I say low, like, you know, three, four, five reps, and high reps, 20, 30 reps, there really isn't that much difference in muscular growth so long as you take each set close to failure.

You probably don't have to go to failure, but you need to get pretty darn close within a couple of reps.

And I will say, if you've never trained to failure, you probably are really poor at estimating what your proximity to failure is.

So you need to do alpha intensity.

And then if you look at intensity as kind of the drug, then volume would be the dosage.

And you can tell your volume to your goals.

Like for me, I do a lot of training volume because I'm trying to be the strongest, most muscular human being I can be.
