One of the biggest debates that has been baffling the bodybuilding world pretty much since before the “Golden Era” of weight training is the battle between training HIT style versus “volume training”. (Yeah, I know, HIT didn’t come along until Arthur Jones / Mike Mentzer…but that’s not the point of this blog).
Those that are for HIT being more effective for muscular size, aka hypertrophy, claim that it’s the intensity of training that elicits the sought after effect. While, on the other hand, many claim that it’s in fact the overall volume that’s the real bottom line.
Well, I know which of the two is more important; BOTH!!! But not the way most think. And, something I notice is that many have the wrong conception as to exactly what “volume” is. To you, what is it? Amount of sets? Reps? Exercises? Training frequency?
There’s more to look at under the surface if you want to find the truth to how to structure you’re workout routine to build muscle mass fast. It’s not a matter of “either, or”.
More to come…
