Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Yeah, I mean, because there's obviously studies that support failure training and hypertrophy.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Sure.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

But we've always communicated that on the show.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

That's in the context of this short window.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

And it's like at one point that trick doesn't keep working.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

That's right.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

And so what it looks like is like, okay, so you have the group that is going to just consistently โ€“

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

trade the intensity for volume and practice that's going to be this like slow gradual climb you see the in the short four six weeks you know you're going to see that failure training spike here but then it's going to have a hard fall off and then plateau where they're just going to keep

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

You're going to keep going.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

So you extend that out.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Yeah, you're going to extend that out six, eight months, a year.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

And it's not even close.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

The person that was constantly tilting into overtraining and training in failure all the time.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Well, it's like you can only pull that lever one time.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

That's right.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Once you pull that, I'm going to failure or max intensity.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

It's like it's done.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

So that's where my whole โ€“ the goal is to do as little as possible to elicit the most change came from is like I want to do as little as possible so I can save these levers that I can pull as I reach these little plateaus throughout this.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

If I go all out right out the gates and I pull all the levers at once, it's like, sure, I might see this.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2854: The Optimal Sets & Reps at Every Intensity ! Soviet Science Explains

Great.
