  2. Intensity is the weight? Or the rep ?

    Me I keep 10 set whit 12 rep when get easy or I feel ready I put more weight.
    I start whit 5kg dumbells I expect to reach 25kg in two months same number if set and rep my goal is 60 kg dumbells. I did before but car accident make me lose everything. I'm not in a hurry.

  3. To keep things in perspective. If your priorities are health, longevity, and being injury-free… then both high volume and training to failure intensity are wrong. With high volume probably being at least safer option if it's done with less weight. I've lost count of how many people wrecked their body pushing it too hard. Ending up having trouble doing basic things in your day and living with pain for 30-40 years doesn't look like fun.

  4. I am 63 years old and work out 4-5 days a week-should I be lifting to failure on my reps ?.I'm 5'7" & in good shape and stretch and walk for 20 minutes before I lift. I lift to be stronger not huge-Any thoughts?- p.s. I think your videos are great

  5. I'm really enjoying the workout with Jeff, he explaines the exercises so they're easy to understand. It's like have your own personal trainer. Thank you Jeff from Patricia (Sydney Australia)

  6. It's hard to get my chest sore on intensity with heavier weight and no spot but i made the switch last week. I started working out with drop sets from 50-55 dumbells down to 25-30s about six months ago to get my stamina up but just like you said my shoulders and supporting muscles feel it more than my chest these days so I'm kicking it up to 60-70s as many reps as possible and only drop setting the last set to see how it goes. Thank you!

  7. Yes intensity is key but I wonder what that guy named Arnold would say about volume as well, you know, that guy who is the greatest bodybuilder of all time. I wonder.

  8. Just for clarity, when you say research shows that 4-10 quality sets is optimal for protein synthesis, do you mean per week (as opposed to per session)? Also, if more volume is bad because it is assumed it tends toward lower intensity, what if one was able to increase volume without decreasing but rather maintaining intensity? Would it still be better on the net in that case?

  9. 2 methods to use. Isocompress heavy weights at the 2 extremities top and bottom and that could get the right power without that pesky elastic band. It'll induct into the center range of motion.
    And the other being in the 80% center just do medium weights that's Isotonic.
    Done, Mission accomplished 😌 👌 😎.
    Or you could do what million other Seniors recommend , 'Fitness.'

  10. The more volume, the less intensity…. it's as simple as that…. the less intensity, the less hypertrophy… it's as simple as that…. you can lift a coke can for million reps without any results… there should be a balance between volume and intensity… a sweet spot… because, like in everything in life, there is DIMINISHING RETURN…. more is never better…and I believe, Nippard is also saying the same thing as Jeff does… just from the volume perspective… both volume and intensity are necessary but up to a point!… And I know that a lot of gym bros are doing much more volume than they really need … Jeff is Jeffinately right….👍

  11. This is exactly the truth.. I've been in the lifting game for more than 35 years and Jeff really knows what it is about volume and intensity… you really don't need a lot of sets… you just need high quality perfect form perfect eccentric concentric slow reps taking 2 to 3 seconds each with good time under tension close to failure (1 to 3 reps in reserve/in the tank) quality over quantity!!! …. the gains from 12 sets are even not twice of gains from 1 quality set!!!… believe me…. experiment variations… take what feels good… and really like Jeff says,… 4 to 10 quality total sets per body part are all you need….👍👍👍

  12. I needed this. I’m that guy that would do like 30 sets in 1 day and 60 per week 🤦‍♂️

    I cut my workout down now, I realized exactly what Jeff is saying and now I only do the basic and true Og compound movements
    Bench press, push ups, squats, deadlifts, etc

    I made gains before but I hit a ceiling and I feel like this is definitely going to be a huge change that’ll get me the results I want

    Thanks Jeff!
