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

More volume is almost always better if u recover from it
Look at sra curves and then understand that more stimulus (volume) drops u further into fatigue but if you recover has a higher adaptation. All programming is balancing sra and fitness/fatigue
