Every claim below is a statement made in this recording, quoted word for word and linked to the second it was said, so you can hear it rather than take our word for it. The wording comes from the transcript published alongside the recording; the sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording.
Their wordsI've been asking you for 15 years to perform your sets to failure, and I've been consistent with that for a reason because I know that you need an adequate level of stimulus for that muscle to even want to change.
Their wordsFor every one of those sets that you perform below failure, you're going to need to perform more of them in order to reach an adequate level of volume or stimulus to change.
Their wordsThere's no magic to lengthen partials. That's nonsense. That's not what that's about. It's a matter of accumulating total tension.
Their wordsyou either train long or you train hard, but you cannot do both. So as you increase the difficulty level of the sets, then you decrease the time you need to spend doing them.
Our reading
Resting 30 seconds or less between sets brings the hard, growth-driving reps back sooner.
Their wordsif I keep this rest time short, 30 seconds at most, when I get back into this set again, I am not going to need to go through the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth repetition to get to those more difficult repetitions.
Their wordsslowing down or manipulating your time to an exaggerated amount where it actually starts to limit the amount of weight that you can actually use on the exercise is going to not really result in more muscle hypertrophy
Their wordswhen you allow that to grade up, you're able to have the protection of the joint in the process and still have a high intensity set.
