I agree with most of what you have written, but I don't see why time under load at ~45 seconds should be optimal. Why would it be better than, say, 30 seconds or even 90, if failure is reached at the end of a set properly performed? https://www.cbass.com/CarpinelliNoNonsense.htm https://www.researchgate.net/public...nce_to_support_recommended_training_protocols https://www.cbass.com/Carpinelli.htm
athleanX.com This guy knows a ton about targeting muscles, safe exercises etc. He espouses it on one of his video, not as dogma but just matter of fact.
No link but his education and knowledge is vast. He knows his stuff, similarly to one of my early guys that has recently, Bob Gajda. https://athleanx.com/articles/maximum-muscle-building-when-8-reps-becomes-the-new-12-reps
Sounds reasonable, but I don't think there is sufficient evidence to support it. As it happens, my sets are at least 45 seconds to failure, so I know how arduous they can be. But the guy recommends explosive lifts? That's using momentum and is a form of cheating for someone who wishes to employ maximum intensity. You don't need to move explosively to activate fast twitch motor units. In addition to the links I posted earlier in this thread, Carpinelli also concluded the following in his last paper: Time under Tension Section Summary: The significant implication of this section is that there is no resistance training study to support the superiority or inferiority of any specific TUT for stimulating hypertrophy. https://www.researchgate.net/public...OR_MUSCLE_HYPERTROPHY_IN_EXPERIENCED_TRAINEES I have seen a number of the AthleanX guy's videos. Jeff Cavaliere produces A LOT of content for a subject that, in the end, should be relatively basic and straightforward. But business is business. I'm reminded of something I read and posted a few years ago, written by Richard Winett, a lifelong fitness enthusiast and exercise researcher: "The irony is that through all my training incarnations, I had about the same lean body mass. The only thing required to capitalize on my best assets was to just watch my diet a bit more."
In his own words: But beware: So if Dorian Yates was training as a young man with superior genetics and with the aid of drugs 4 times a week, 45 minutes per workout, using HIT principles, then I would think that people with more average genetics and without chemical assistance would do well to train less often and with lower volume. That's my take, anyway.
On the Joe Rogan podcast he said 3 times, probably, he had the upper body in mind. Thanks anyway, got a free moment & some sup, will watch it right now.
Maybe he was dumbing it down for Joe's audience. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-health-and-nutrition-pseudoscience/science-vs-joe-rogan
That's me, basically, in the red t-shirt, in that vid, that you shared, behind him talking, thus, it's very believable.
