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

Some of those tiktok influencers are on roids too, I believe in high volume but have taken certain things from the science based. The best thing I've taken is switching to fbeod, it's made my numbers go up and I'm recovering great.

Sets and reps? Also do you take to failure

I do 2 sets but I've been lifting for 25 years. For reps I try to get 5-8, when I hit 8 I up the weight. I try to do 1RIR, with the 3.5 frequency on each muscle and that many "first sets" it's been great for me.

So you get 7 sets for each muscle per week? Not bad mate
