    high intensity or high volume, which is best?

    I have always thought that training heavy, too often, is not necessary. Thoughts? Here is a recent ergolog article. http://www.ergo-log.com/muscle-growth-is-the-same-whether-you-do-high-intensity-or-high-volume-resistance-training.html

    Hyper Sets - do you do 'em?

    I'm hearing hyper sets being thrown about at the gym lately but I don't believe anyone is actually executing them properly (can't rely on what I see at the commy gym I go to lol). I am under the impression this simply means max effort work sets, such as jokers in a 5/3/1 routine. Is that...

    reps per set, rest time between sets, and "workouts"

    This question was inspired by reading the article linked from the thread Light vs. Heavy Weight High reps or low reps for muscle growth? - flexonline and everyone's comments on it, but it doesn't involve the heavy vs not-so-heavy question, so I'm starting a new thread. Here it is ... I've...

    Honest Question

    Now im relatively inexperianced compared to the majority on there when it comes to the gym. What I see a lot in my gym is people that do 4 or 5 different exercises for the same body part. Like 4 different variations of cable curls. I see this as pointless but then again I have little experience...
