About this listen

In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris dive into whether more volume is always better. The episode opens in the late Silver Era with Sergio Oliva’s high-volume split, then pivots into a brand-new study that compares “high” vs “super high” volumes in trained lifters.

Key topics include:

  • Sergio Oliva’s late-Silver Era routine
  • New study 18 vs ~32 sets per week
  • Why “more volume” didn’t produce more hypertrophy
  • Damage as “resource drain” vs damage as fatigue
  • No fascicle length changes in trained lifters (and what that implies about sarcomerogenesis)
  • Practical programming tip, reframing “rest days” as repair days
