2 sets per exercise per session is USUALLY the answer…you’ve squeezed almost all (if not all) of the juice out of that lemon There is a time and a place for 3 sets On occasion…1 set is even the answer But most often…2 is the play “How about 4... show more

Training Volume / Intensity / Rep Range / Progressive Overload — Everything You Need To Know: (This is what will grow MOST people best) 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 45ish-60ish total working sets per week - If training 3x per week, this will mean 16, 17, 18ish sets per session - If training 4x per week, this will mean 13, 14, 15ish sets per session - If training 5x per week, this will mean 10, 11, 12ish sets per session 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 - For balanced development, you’re going to want to perform 5, 6, 7, 8ish sets per body part per week - If prioritizing a muscle group, you’re going to want to perform 8, 9, 10, MAYBE 10+ sets for that body part each week - If deprioritizing a muscle group, you only need 2, 3, 4ish sets for that body part each week to maintain existing development 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬 In all likelihood, you will get MORE (in the way of stimulus) by splitting the work you do for a given muscle group across 2 sessions per week Splitting the work you do for a given muscle group across 3 sessions per week can work as well but the potential benefit is probably NOT that large and it diminishes the margin of safety Performing all the work you do for a given muscle group on ONE day (Bro Split Style) can work but it like has an opportunity cost associated with it 𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗘 The sweet spot is generally 2-3 sets for a given exercise in a given session 1 set is fine depending on the context of the programming as a whole but you likely didn’t squeeze all the juice out of the lemon If you preform 4+ sets of a given exercise in a given session, what the fuck were you doing the first couple of sets? 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬 The intensity you take sets to can GREATLY IMPACT how many total sets you can perform while still allowing for adequate recovery from session to session Generally speaking, it is a good idea to leave about 1 RIR on most exercises to ensure stimulus is robust but fatigue is kept at bay There is one HUGE caveat to that however: If you do not trust your ability to accurately gauge RIR, it is better to just take your sets to 0 RIR/Failure than it is to risk sandbagging sets by leaving an incidental 2, 3, 4+ reps in the tank…just know you will not be able to generate as high a net stimulus throughout the week if you live in this intensity range 𝗥𝗲𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲/𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 Pick a weight you can do for 5-6ish reps with GOOD-GREAT technique @ the prescribed RIR (should be 0-2 RIR) Once you can hit 7, 8, 9, 10ish reps with the same GOOD-GREAT technique @ the prescribed RIR, increase the load You can weight select on a SET BY SET BASIS — this means in theory some of your sets could be heavier/lighter than others (assuming you’re doing multiple sets of a given exercise on a given day)

Most strength programming advice sounds complicated. Percentages, periodization blocks, readiness scores. And some of it is worth knowing. But the framework I always return to for strength, speed, and power has been around for nearly a century: the “3x5” protocol. This is how it works: 3-5 days per week 3-5 exercises per session 3-5 sets per exercise 3-5 reps per set 3-5 minutes of rest between sets The range is not a prescription. At the low end, it’s 3 exercises, 3 sets of 3, 3 days a week; you're looking at roughly 20 minutes. That is the entire program, and it works. At the top end, 5x5 at real weight, you're doing something genuinely brutal that most people shouldn't, and probably can’t sustain for long.

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY

You can trick your body to lift more than you normally can Because of this, I do it every session on my personal training, which I’ve shared through my Super Set program. It’s called Post Action Potentiation (PAP) and it’s a temporary state where your muscles and nervous system are activated and operated in a heightened state It’s all about ramping up to reach this state and I use 3 steps to get there. Stage 1: bodybuilding exercises, low effort and longer durations. Think bicep curls, reverse flys sets of 12-20. Perfect for the first exercise/set scheme of the day. But it’s not enough to get to that true state of potentiation. We need more. Stage 2: You’ve got some blood flowing, you’re warm up and starting your primary exercise of the day like bench press. Your warm up sets are ramping up with low to moderate weight paired with high effort. This starts really recruiting those bigger stronger type II motor units. Remember you don’t need the reps near failure to recruit type II motor units, you just need effort. Stage 2 is great but we can go even deeper Stage 3: These are the working sets. You are pairing heavier weight with high effort. The magic is doing it without taking on fatigue. My programming and coaching notes guide you. Each set sets you up for the next, allowing you to end on a max set of some kind. Then every exercise and set after that you’re able to lift more than normal. You’ve reached this state of potentiation and you ride the wave down Super Sets uses 2 more secondary strength exercises followed by single joint bodybuilding exercises. We squeeze the juice completely The training split for Super Sets is one muscle group per day, you can run it 4-7 times per week.

The FIRST working set you do of an exercise should be the BEST working set you do of that exercise (assuming relative intensity is equated across sets) In the event that it’s not, you almost assuredly are NOT warming up properly Fatigue accumulates over the course of a workout as sets transpire This makes it physiologically impossible to improve performance as a session progresses unless you (A) weren’t ready from the outset or (B) were sandbagging earlier sets (could be intentional or unintentional)

The dirty little secret in public education is it’s often the schools that spend the most money per student are the ones that deliver the poorest results per student. The real problem is HOW that money is being spent. The right answer: merit-based compensation for educators.

“The minimum wage of Nigeria is N70k per month. I live in the UK, if I translate it to pounds, it’s £35. This means a Nigerian is earning a minimum wage of £1 per day while UK counterpart is earning £12 per hr. Even though cost of living is higher in UK but think about £1 per day & £12 per hr. For e.g., Nigerian electricity cost is near that of UK. You are earning £1 per day but paying electricity cost almost the same with someone earning €12 per hr.” ~Nick Agule

The status quo simply isn't working for most Americans. We need to acknowledge that. But the answer isn't burning it all down. The answer is building government back up in a way that works for all of us.

#CNNInterview It is so striking how the overall majority of commentators missed the essence in this exchange… superficial minds right? ‘If your question is concerned with whether my forces are in DRC rather than why they would be there in the first place, then my answer is I don’t know if they are there.’ This is actually at the same time so revelatory of how superficial and unidimensional this Congo madness has been dealt with in “mainstream western media”, which most of the time sets the tone of all others… certainly the Africans who don’t count on their own capacity.

Stephen Miller: "All of our systems were set up and established for a high-trust society. I think that most citizens probably assume that there’s some verification process that takes place for the receipt of most federal benefits. The reality is that there is not."
