@seannalewanyj: Don’t just think of volume as “total sets”. Think of it more in terms of high effort reps. As you approach failure, each rep carries more stimulus than the ones before it. That’s why fewer sets pushed very close to the limit can match or exceed the “volume” of more sets with several reps left in the tank. P.S. If you want to learn exactly how to put this into action and start making better gains with less time in the gym, my complete TrainWise system gives you everything you need. Inside the app you get: - Structured low volume high intensity programs (2-4 days per week, works for beginners to advanced) - Step-by-step progression for consistent strength gains - Simple nutrition targets (no extreme diets or restrictions) - Workout tracking, exercise tutorials, and 150+ recipes all in one place - Adaptable to any equipment (full gym or basic home setup) The same evidence-based system that’s helped thousands of people achieve their goal physique with maximum efficiency. 👉 Link in bio #Fitness #workout #gym #bodybuilding

I generally agree with the thought, but 3-4 RIR is still more than close enough to failure for the majority of your sets. It only really becomes a problem when we start getting 5+ RIR.

For chest I only do 3 exercises. Incline smith machine for warm up. Incline DB press and pec deck for working sets. Pushing to failure. I’ve seen real growth. I’m at 90-95 for DB’s and 225 on incline bench.

Teacher Mike English :
Yeah most of my life I've done 3 sets per exercise and not realized that most people keep 1 RIR when doing that. 😅 Recently dropped all my lifts to 2 sets instead of 3 and am seeing better results.
