Firas Zahabi on Training Volume

and 'Rate of Perceived Exertion'

and other stuff.

Here's the comment section...

Humans like to talk about things.

I only box and do Calisthenics regularly. Will deadlift, squat, and KB swing outside of that. I have to really kill it at least once a month to feel sore or I don’t feel like a Man!

I think this applies to conditioning mostly. If you want to gain strength you have to damage muscle and rebuild it with sleep and food.

Recently or say last 20 years …..I’ve always trained 70 -85% of my max each work-out I’ve finished my work-out feeling good ,on a high WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO HOME TOTALLY EXHAUSTED AND WASTED. Proves nothing and accomplishes little. Sometimes its ok to Push it to the limit. NOT EVERY WORK-OUT. I guess I knew it intuitively, while others are just finding this out today……..and its being proven. Volume over Intensity. Finish a work-out feeling rejuvenated not wasted!
