SSD Podcast Ep. 45: Are you doing too much volume? (Re: Borge Fagerli's FB post)

The SSD Podcast is back!! In episode 45 of the podcast, I'm reflecting on a Facebook post that former coach and informal of mine (Abel) has made not long ago on the topic of training volume. As most of you probably know, training volume is a critical component of any training setup, and up to a certain point at least, more volume yields more muscle growth. This Facebook post however questions the degree to which most trainees should run this concept - perhaps, many of us are actually doing training volumes that are way too excessive given what our goals, life circumstances and genetic underpinnings are. The post in question:   / 936685109815496   Time-Stamps. 0:30 - why this post was important + what is training volume, why its important 4:14 - Borge's first point - maybe we don't need as much volume as we think 9:00 - who can benefit from high volumes + what is minimum effective dose? 15:15 - evaluating the results of your training + what are your real reasons for training as much as you do 17:40 - Borge's recommendation - resetting your mind and body + what can you expect from taking time off the gym 23:45 - is high volume training appropriate for you? 25:10 - caveats and conclusion Insta: @ssdabel
