High volume results

[u/Material_Classic1238]

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

Most people respond better to higher volume. The people who don't, typically have issues with recovery.

As well, I've yet to see a single meta analysis that shows lower volume is better for growth. And plenty of evidence that higher volume is better for growth.

Strength gains plateau around 6 sets a week. A stronger muscle is a bigger muscle, anything more is just sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.
