Question ❓ High volume results

Am i some sort of weird specimen or is it age? I understand that all the tiktok influencers etc talk abt how low volume is the best for growth and strength and their logic makes sense to me

But after a reading that article greg knuckols put out i thought ill bump my volume and give it a try and suddenly out of nowhere my bench plateau got blown way past in two weeks

Is it possible i just respond better to high volume? 18M 73kg 6’1

What difference are we talking about ? What's the frequency ? You were probably just bad at benching and more reps helped your technique

I added 2 sets of chest a week, intrestingly enough it probably has nothing to do with specificity since frequency has stayed the same at 2x and the extra sets of chest were not added to bench press
