How many sets should you do weekly for the biggest and fastest gains in strength and muscle size? How many workouts per week? Is the sky the limit, where more training always leads to more muscle growth? Today, we cover a new meta-study that hints at what the upper limits of muscle growth, strength gains, and training frequency might be. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

In the last episode, we established that you can build more muscle mass while losing fat—even if you’re not a beginner in the gym. Let’s follow that up with a bunch of great questions on the same topic, sent in by our fantastic listeners! Timestamps: 05:50 – Question 1: I'm trying to be in a caloric deficit to lose body fat and lower my body fat percentage. How long can you be in a deficit of around 500-800 calories daily before the effect diminishes? Does the metabolism decrease by a lot? 12:00 – Question 2: How would you structure your strength training during a caloric deficit? 17:00 – Question 3: How much does muscle mass affect caloric needs? Can you increase your resting metabolic rate if you build bigger muscles? 21:00 – Question 4: How big of a caloric surplus should you be on to build muscle? When does the surplus become unnecessarily big? 26:00 – Question 5: If I recall correctly, you mentioned in an earlier episode that you should eat the amount of protein appropriate for your target weight when on a diet. This means that if I weigh 100 kg and want to drop down to 80 kg, and I want to eat 2 g protein/kg, I should count my protein need using 80 kg and not 100 kg. Will I lose more muscle mass if I do that compared to if I would have counted using 100 kg? 30:30 – Question 6: I strength train 3-4 days per week, and on the 5th day, I started doing kickboxing cardo, which usually burns around 1,000 calories in an hour. On the kickboxing days, I end up in quite the caloric deficit compared to the rest of the week, where I eat to a maintenance level of around 2,400 calories. My question is: should I make it a point to replace those extra 1,000 calories I burn from kickboxing in order to maintain my muscle growth, or is it not such a big deal since it is just one day a week? *** Do you like what you hear so far?

We’ve already done three episodes on fat loss (see episodes 20, 21, and 22). Now it’s time to tackle the holy grail: How to build more muscle mass while still losing fat! Most know that this is quite easy for overweight beginners. But what about the rest of us? Can it even be done without cycles of bulking and cutting? Let’s discuss it! To help guide us, we will also answer a handful of questions on the topic from you guys. *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player.

Do you gain more muscle and strength when you change your exercises regularly, or can you keep doing the same ones all the time? That’s the topic for today, and to kick the discussion off we have a fun new study on this subject! The researchers wanted to see if varying exercises (for the same muscle group) are superior to just doing the same exercises all the time, and recruited 90 untrained women to do so. The results? Expected and surprising at the same time! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that subscribe button!

It’s time to wrap up the mini-series on training for bigger arms, with your best questions on how to succeed. Should you, for instance, train your arms daily for better gains? And how do you train if one of your arms is in a cast because it’s broken? You guys had so many good questions today! See the timestamps below. And don’t miss the last one, where we discuss muscle asymmetry between the left and right arm. Having one arm that’s bigger and stronger than the other one, is quite a common worry out there … Timestamps: 03:15—Question 1: Is it counterproductive to train arms every day? By that, I mean to train them hard and with high volume—not just a few reps after the regular training. Some believe that it is not possible to overtrain the arms. 09:30 – Questions 2 & 3: What has more visual impact, big biceps or big triceps? And how much of a difference do the shoulders make for the appearance of the arms? 12:25 – Question 4: Please give us some fun and effective exercises for the forearms! 17:50 – Question 5: Is it possible to train your arm to prevent tearing the bicep tendon while deadlifting? 22:00 – Question 6: How should you train if you have a broken arm? 26:40 – Question 7: When doing overhead triceps extensions I get a cramp in my left rotator cuff. Is that because of mobility issues, and will it disappear if I just continue doing this movement? 30:30 – Question 8: What is the best exercise method to increase 1RM in barbell bicep curls? 35:50 – Question 9: I’m 79 years old and I have, against all odds, managed to build substantial biceps and triceps muscles after 5 years of strength training. The problem is that I got bigger muscles in my left arm. I’m right-handed and can handle more with that arm. Should I do more reps with the right arm to trigger those muscles more? *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that subscribe button!

The triceps are one of the biggest muscles in the upper body, and for big-looking arms, they are more important than your biceps—making up around two-thirds of the muscular volume in your upper arms! Training the triceps is not as straightforward as training the biceps, and if you want big, strong triceps, you’ll need to know the tricks of the trade. In this episode, we give you a quick anatomy lesson, followed by exercise selections and our recommendations for sets and reps. In the next one, we’ll answer your questions about training for big arms. If you want to know more about our workout routine Armageddon, read this article. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Here we have it, every man’s (and quite a few women’s) biggest dream: bigger biceps! Is it enough to only do pull-ups and rowing exercises for maximum bicep growth, or should you add direct bicep work too? After a short anatomy lesson, we present you with everything you need to know about building big, juicy upper arms, including exercise selection, training frequency, and different approaches on how to include bicep training in your workout routine. Next episode, we’ll flip the coin and talk about the other side of your upper arm—your triceps! Also, we have merch now: check out strengthlog.com/shop for t-shirts and coffee cups.

Last episode covered the three best fitness supplements to spend your money on, and three that might be worth it under special circumstances. We flip the coin today, talking about the most overhyped supplements for strength and fitness. Either because they have been shown to not live up to the claims of the supplement companies or because they can’t be deemed safe for human consumption yet. Does this mean that it might be worth your money if we don’t mention a specific supplement in this episode? Absolutely not. The ones in the timestamps below are only the most popular ones, but there’s a lot of crap out there. Save your money. Timestamps: 04:10 – BCAA 09:30 – Turkesterone & ecdysterone 15:15 – Testosterone boosters 18:30 – Fat burners 22:45 – HMB For a more complete supplement guide in PDF form, sign up for our newsletter here. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Which supplements are worth your money, and which are not? In this episode, we’ll examine what the science actually says about fitness and strength-related supplements, to give you our list of the best ones. When all is said and done, not many supplements remain that are worthy of your money—the opposite of what supplement companies want you to hear. However, we hope you’ll be interested in this knowledge. But! There are a few that will help you become bigger and stronger. And they are mostly quite inexpensive. We’ll discuss six different ones (see the timestamps below), how they can improve your training, and to what degree they are worth investing in. Next week, we’ll cover overhyped supplements to avoid! Timestamps: 07:00 – Protein supplements 18:00 – Creatine monohydrate 26:00 – Caffeine 31:50 – Vitamin D 35:40 – Omega 3 fatty acids 41:20 – Beta-alanine For a complete supplement guide in PDF form, sign up for our newsletter here. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

In the final episode of our trilogy on fat loss, we discuss crash dieting. Crash diets—also known as very-low-calorie diets and semistarvation diets—are very popular, and we’re here to tell you exactly how stupid it is to go on one and expect sustainable results. Especially if you care about your muscle mass, which we do believe most of our listeners do. But can you do a successful crash diet, and how would that look? And what’s the superior alternative?

In part 1, we covered the basics of fat loss. Today, we continue this miniseries on training and eating to lose fat by answering your best questions on the topic. Is starvation mode real? How do you deal with the lack of energy on a caloric deficit? Is it a myth that strength training burns fat? How do you avoid regaining all the weight you’ve lost? See the timestamps below for all questions! Timestamps: 05:20 – Question 1: Should my approach to losing weight differ if my goal is to retain as much strength as possible, compared to retaining as much muscle mass as possible? 09:00 – Question 2: Why is it so hard to lose weight? 11:20 – Question 3: How do you best deal with the lack of energy when on a caloric deficit? 14:00 – Question 4: What should I do to not gain weight quickly again after a weight loss diet? 18:10 – Question 5: Is it a myth that strength training leads to weight loss, or more specifically, fat burning? 22:50—Question 6: Why does my weight loss diet stop working and my weight loss stagnate, and how should I counteract that? 28:40 – Question 7: Are you two, the hosts, comfortable in your bodies, or do you want changes?

Losing fat is the most common fitness goal for both men and women. It’s most commonly expressed as wanting to lose weight, but it’s fat we want to lose – not our hard-earned, important, beautiful, and sexy muscle mass!

In the upcoming part 2, we’ll explore the subject further with the help of your best questions. Have a question you want answered? Leave it in our community on Facebook!

For optimal quad growth, it’s probably not enough to just train squats, leg presses, or similar exercises. This has been bro science for decades, and today we will discuss a new study that confirms this. The study had the participants train the leg press with one of their legs, and leg extensions with the other one. And the results of muscle growth in the quadriceps differed enough to make a long-term difference in your training! Want to try a great leg workout?

Training volume is a never-ending topic of debate. How many reps should you do when you want to become bigger and stronger? How many working sets? We focused on reps in episode 5, so today it’s time to focus on our favorite way to measure training volume: the number of working sets you train at or close to failure for any given lift or muscle group. We kick things off with a new study from Brazil on football players with plenty of gym experience, that measured the effects of different weekly set volumes. Then we broaden our discussion, by answering a handful of questions on this topic from our listeners. *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player.

There’s been much ado about bench press in this podcast. In episode 6, we talked about the mistakes you should avoid if you want to become a great bench presser. But that episode focused on the negatives, and today we feel much more positive. What are the best practices of training the bench press, that you should implement immediately in your own workout routine? We’ve gathered our 10 best tips on how to increase your bench press, no matter if your goal is to build bigger pecs or to compete in powerlifting. Enjoy! *** Do you like what you hear so far?

You asked, we answered. And what an amazing bunch of questions you sent in! Thank you for both listening and contributing to the podcast. The timestamps for all questions are listed below. We’ll discuss yoga, sleeping positions, high-rep training for squats and deadlifts, rest days, and more! Timestamps: 04:30 – Question 1: Do you think the sleeping position matters for muscle growth? 08:45 – Question 2: I want tips on calluses in the palms of my hands! What do you do to keep them at a reasonable level? 12:40 – Question 3: What’s your view on endurance-focused strength training such as Body pump? 19:25 – Question 4: If you are training for strength, would you expect better gains over time (say after 2-3 months) if you did yoga (45-minute sessions) on rest days (at least 2-3 times a week) vs. just resting? 23:30 – Question 5: How important are rest days really? 28:10 – Questions 6 and 7: If one is doing suboptimal training (at least by the definitions for what is considered optimal) but still “working hard,” can gains and/or maintenance still be made? And: If you stop progressing in weightlifting and keep on lifting the same weights (same sets, reps, and weights), what happens with your strength and muscle size? 38:30 – Question 8: Why does high-rep training work better for the bench press than for squats and deadlifts? 43:15 – Question 9: What is the body recomposition method, and does it have any credibility? 48:30 – Question 10: How do I train to maintain being a good runner and a great powerlifter simultaneously? 58:00 – Question 11: Does poor form/technique when lifting weights in the gym cause injuries? *** Do you like what you hear so far?

How much does the lifting tempo you use in the gym matter? Well, a lot, at least according to a new meta-analysis that lays the foundation for today’s episode. The study showed that lifting weights intentionally slowly leads to slower strength gains, while lifting them as fast as possible leads to faster ones. But what about injury risk? The eccentric phase of the lift? Take our hand and we’ll show you the way to faster gains! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player.

Strength training and enough protein are the keys to stimulating muscle growth. Recovery and sleep matter, too, of course, and we’ll cover those subjects in future episodes. But today we’re talking about protein, buddy. Because everybody loves protein. How much protein should you eat daily for muscle growth? Does the amount change if you’re also trying to lose weight? How much protein can you use for hypertrophy from a single meal? And what are the best sources of high-quality protein? In this episode, we cover all the basics about protein for anyone looking to pack on more muscle mass! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player.

If your goal in the gym is to train for muscle growth, you just need to know the basics and a few core principles. In this episode of The Strength Log, we'll break it down for you: How fast can you gain muscle mass? What causes your muscles to grow? How often should you train a muscle group? How many weekly sets should you hit your muscle groups with? How many reps should you do in each set? How long should you rest between sets? What are the best exercises when training for muscle growth? That’s about it. It’s not very complicated—in theory—but the more time we spend in the gym, the more we tend to forget about what actually matters. So, here you go: our quick guide to muscle growth! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that subscribe button!
