Heavy Duty College podcast

Client: surprised that he had made such uninterrupted progress...
with heavy duty High Intensity Training [HIT]
"Should not be a surprise; has been happening for centuries;
it is logical and rational--
cause & effect relationship between
intense exercise & muscle growth
has been known for a long time
-even though many 'experts'
fail to grasp it

It is the laws of nature that dictate the CAUSES to enact that
will EFFECT muscle mass build up beyond normal...
Once these causes are understood; the task of building
muscle strength, while requiring HIGH INTENSITY EFFORT,
is really quite simple
Perhaps exercise scientist will
observe weightlifters & conclude:
it is volume that matters
"That is where I looked at first"

If volume is key: then more is always better...
20 sets: okay; 40: better; etc: Volume argument is absurd
It is counter-productive

Since quantity is not the right variable for muscle growth;
that leaves: INTENSITY
Example:
100# barbell, 10 reps to failure
-first rep: least intensity of effort [~8-10%]
-fatigues a little bit, so
-second rep: requires ~15% intensity
-each rep requires more intensity
-last rep: 100% intensity
Absolute Failure: shaking, gritting
teeth, barely get bar to top
Which rep required most intensity? LAST REP
