Description

What if the key to maximizing your strength and muscle is based on how you vote?

No, not for president or your local politicians, but between two important choices:

Volume vs. Intensity

Let's settle the long-standing debate: do you cast your “vote” for volume—stacking up work (reps, sets, tonnage, and skill development) to build a solid foundation? 

Or do you go all-in on intensity, focusing on heavy, high-effort lifts to push the envelope and increase your max force production?

Main Takeaways:

  • Volume and intensity are often seen as rivals in strength training
  • A periodized approach lets you get the best of both worlds
  • The importance of “building a base” before pushing intensity
  • How to adapt volume and intensity for sustainable, long-term gains
