Podcasts about training volume

Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they're often the reason you're exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn't equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you're spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That's what this episode is all about. What's Discussed: (00:48) Why rest periods are an overlooked driver of strength and muscle gains (03:25) ATP, creatine phosphate, and what actually recovers between sets (05:03) How rest determines strength, hypertrophy, or endurance outcomes (06:51) Why heavy lifts require three to five minutes of rest (07:46) Using shorter rest to create metabolic stress for muscle growth (09:13) How short rest trains fatigue tolerance and muscular endurance (10:52) What breaks when rest is too short or too long (15:41) Why timing rest separates training from random workouts Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

→ Free Body Recomp Strategy Call | Yes, we were wrong... But luckily for you, you get to learn from our mistakes.Today we go through the training and nutrition beliefs we've had to unlearn over the years. From things like deload frequency, training to failure, and calorie surpluses, to rep ranges, progressive overload, training frequency, and more.You'll learn:How much volume you actually need to maintain muscle once you've built itWhen a calorie surplus is and isn't required to build muscleIf you should train to failure or leave reps in the tank (RIR)If taking deloads is necessary to manage fatigue and avoid overtrainingHow progressive overload actually works and how to appy itIf you've been lifting for years and feel like progress has stalled, something on this list is probably part of the reason.→ Get a FREE Month of Coaching (Podcast Special) → Book a Free Body Recomp Strategy Call → Get My Free Body Recomp Guide → Follow Kade on Instagram

If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

In this week's Q&A episode on The Brad Jensen Show, Craig and I sat down and answered some of the most real world questions we see from clients, coaches, and high performers trying to level up across life. We talked about the hardest part of starting a business and honestly, it usually is not strategy. It is managing uncertainty, self doubt, and staying consistent when results are not immediate. We shared what challenged us the most early on and what we wish we knew sooner. We also dug into client retention as a personal trainer or coach. I broke down what actually keeps people long term and it is not just workouts or macros. It is connection, trust, and helping people become someone new, not just do something new. We answered the question of whether lifting six days per week is too much. Like most things in fitness, it depends. We talked about recovery, training intent, life stress, and how to know if you are progressing or just surviving workouts. Another big topic was how long someone should realistically work with a coach. We talked about when coaching becomes less about information and more about identity, accountability, and long term lifestyle integration. Craig brought a really powerful lens to the conversation around avoidant tendencies and how they show up everywhere. Not just relationships, but business, health, communication, and even goal setting. We talked about how to recognize those patterns and what to do when you see them. We also touched on a handful of other training and nutrition questions that came up from listeners and clients this week. If you are trying to build something, improve your body, or just become more self aware in how you move through life, this episode will hit.   Next Level Links: Nutrition Coaching Free Consultations - Schedule Here Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive  Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

238. Triathlon Training, Volume & Longevity with Coach Jack SaundersToday we sit down with triathlon coach Jack Saunders to explore the world of triathlon training, endurance performance, and what it really takes to succeed across three demanding disciplines.Jack shares his journey into triathlon during the pandemic, how his swimming background shaped his progression in the sport, and the key lessons he's learned as both an athlete and coach. We unpack the realities of triathlon training volume, the complexity of balancing swimming, cycling, and running and scheduling intensity into the training week.This conversation dives deep into the often-overlooked importance of swimming technique, the role of cross-training for runners, and why strength training is essential not just for performance, but long-term injury prevention. Jack also shares insights into athlete success, coaching philosophies, and why consistency and sustainability are the foundation of endurance sport longevity.We discuss:• Jack's pathway into triathlon and coaching• Training volume and structuring triathlon programs• Different triathlon distances and how training changes• Why swimming technique can be a major performance limiter• How to structure swim sessions for beginners and developing athletes• The importance of brick sessions and transition training• Cross-training benefits for runners and single-sport athletes• Strength training for injury prevention and performance• Traits commonly seen in successful endurance athletes• Why consistency and sustainability outperform short-term intensityWhether you're a runner curious about triathlon, an endurance athlete looking to improve performance, or someone interested in the coaching and lifestyle side of multisport training, this episode is packed with practical insights and real-world experience.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction to Triathlon Training with Jack Saunders02:44 Jack's Journey into Triathlon and Coaching05:44 The Life of a Triathlete: Training Volume and Structure06:29 Understanding Different Triathlon Distances08:40 Swimming Techniques for Triathletes11:25 The Importance of Technique in Swimming18:47 The Importance of Swim Technique21:09 Balancing Technique and Cardiovascular Training24:47 Neuroplasticity in Swimming Technique27:51 Structuring Swim Sessions for Beginners30:24 Cross-Training Benefits for Runners33:03 The Role of Volume in Endurance Training36:26 Common Traits of Successful AthletesFollow Us:Instagram: ⁠@strongerstride⁠ | ⁠@lydia_mckay⁠ | ⁠@jacksaundersauYouTube: ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAP9eXZNoDB_9zk7WBMm9WADiscount Codes:TAILWINDSTRONG: 15% off Tailwind NutritionSTRONGERSTRIDE: 15% off Vivobarefoot shoesSTRONGER15: 15% off Skorcha SunscreenThanks for tuning in!TSSP x

Training volume makes sense on paper. Applying it in the real world is where most lifters get stuck.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Eric Helms for part two of our training volume discussion. In the previous episode, we broke down the research, dose-response relationships, and what the hypertrophy literature actually shows.Today, we shift to the applied side.We cover:HOW MUCH TRAINING VOLUME BODYBUILDERS ACTUALLY DO IN THE REAL WORLDPRACTICAL TRAINING VOLUME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE 3RD EDITION OF THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDSA FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRESSING VOLUME WITHOUT BLINDLY ADDING MORE SETSToo often, volume discussions get stuck at the extremes. Either doing as little as possible because it feels easier to justify, or piling on volume without a framework for recovery, progression, or sustainability.This episode is about clarity.We talk about what successful physique athletes actually do, how to interpret volume recommendations intelligently, and how to progress training over time without burning out or stalling.If your goal is long-term muscle growth, better performance, and sustainable progress, this episode will help you bridge the gap between research and real-world training.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/Email: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comFor Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.comMy Reading Recommendations: THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDS https://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

In ETP 207 we step through our nuanced approach to determining training volume needs. Emphasizing the importance of context and individual factors that influence how much volume a lifter effectively needs. We highlight our proposed Training Volume Model with four main characteristics: quality of execution, capacity and recoverability, enjoyment and sustainability, and availability.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Training Volume Needs05:29 Updates on Training Regimens19:58 Determining Training Volume: Key Factors32:05 Understanding Muscle Group Volume Needs47:06 The Importance of Enjoyment in Training57:14 Specialty Cycles and Volume Management Work 1:1 with Aaron ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/nutrition-coaching-apply-now/Done For You Client Check-In System for Coaches ⬇️https://strakernutritionco.com/macronutrient-reporting-check-in-template/Paragon Training Methods Programming ⬇️https://paragontrainingmethods.comFollow Bryan's Evolved Training Systems Programming ⬇️https://evolvedtrainingsystems.comFind Us on Social Media ⬇️IG | @Eat.Train.ProsperIG | @bryanboorsteinIG | @aaron_strakerYT | EAT TRAIN PROSPER PODCAST

Training volume has become one of the most misunderstood and oversimplified topics in fitness.Over the last few years, there's been a strong push toward low-volume training. It's often framed as more efficient, more recoverable and even superior for long-term muscle growth.And while that idea sounds appealing, especially if you're short on time, the science tells a more nuanced story. In this episode, I'm joined once again by Dr. Eric Helms to break down where the training volume research actually stands as we move into 2026.WE COVER:• THE LATEST TRAINING VOLUME RESEARCH, INCLUDING THE 2025 PELLAND META-REGRESSION• WHY THE LOW VOLUME VS HIGH VOLUME DEBATE IS A FALSE DICHOTOMY• WHAT THE HYPERTROPHY LITERATURE ACTUALLY SHOWS ABOUT DOSE-RESPONSE & DIMINISHING RETURNSThis conversation isn't about doing the most volume possible or the least volume possible.It's about understanding what the evidence supports, how training volume actually drives adaptation over time and how to apply it intelligently based on your goals, training age, and recovery capacity.If your goal is long-term muscle growth, better performance, and sustainable progress, this episode will give you clarity.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/Email: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comFor Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.comMy Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

Our coaches address the common question of why your friend may be faster when doing less training than you, as well as why your experience level or race category probably doesn't indicate how much you should train. We look at the different returns on investment with training volume vs intensity, selection and survivor bias in cycling, a survey of power and training volume with racing cyclists in the US, and why comparison can be the thief of joy, but when it can be a useful tool for goal setting. We also answer your listener questions on genetics, time in zone progression, training time as a limiter, and more.

In this episode, Jason Leydon and Ryan discuss the importance of load management in high volume sports, emphasizing the need for proper training volume and recovery strategies. They explore the differences in athlete capabilities, the significance of tracking both internal and external loads, and the implications of performance enhancement in sports. The conversation highlights the necessity for coaches to understand individual athlete needs and the potential consequences of high-volume training without adequate preparation.   Takeaways Load management is crucial in high volume sports. Athletes need individualized training based on their capabilities. Tracking internal load is as important as external load. Movement economy affects long-term athlete durability. High volume training without foundation leads to burnout. The acute to chronic workload ratio helps in training decisions. Coaches must account for lifestyle factors affecting performance. Proper recovery protocols enhance athlete performance. Communication between athletes and coaches is vital. The future of enhanced sports raises health concerns.

How many sets should you do weekly for your muscle groups to maximize strength and muscle gains? That is the eternal question for gymgoers, and even though this is a relatively well-researched subject, we still can't say for sure. Let's look into a new study that had participants perform eight sets of leg presses per week with one leg and 16 sets with the other, to see which leg got the biggest gains in muscle mass and strength after five months of training. In this episode, we discuss this study, its results, and its practical implications for your strength training. *** Do you like what you hear so far?

Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.

More sets = more gains? Not so fast. In this episode of The Fitness League, we break down a brand-new meta-analysis that challenges the age-old belief that more training volume always leads to better results. We'll walk you through what 67 studies revealed about how many sets per muscle group actually lead to optimal hypertrophy and strength—and where doing more can actually backfire. Whether you're lifting 3x per week or programming for clients, this is the data-driven breakdown you've been waiting for. Learn the sweet spot for per-session volume, the difference between total vs fractional sets, and how to structure your week for max muscle without burning out. You'll walk away with clear answers to: How many sets per muscle actually lead to growth? What's the best training split for strength and recovery? Are you doing too much in one workout? Why volume cycling may outperform flat set plans How to tell if your training is pushing results—or stalling them Spoiler: Quality > Quantity. And your nervous system will thank you.

What if you could take a long break from running and not lose any fitness?  The theory is simple; train harder now so that you have mileage “banked” for later when you might be training less.  We'll look more closely at whether this could be an effective strategy with topics including: Why mileage matters for building aerobic fitness How long it takes to lose fitness during a break from training What is supercompensation and whether it helps you to hold onto fitness longer Whether it matters how you spread mileage across a training cycle or if it's only the total volume that counts Whether banking mileage is an effective strategy that you should consider adopting  Don't let a break eat into your fitness and find out if you can really bank fitness beforehand.

We brought so much gratitude to this amazing episode! The main topic was the news announced this weekend: David's Leadville 100 performance won the International Trail Performance of the Year. Yes, tears were shed. To everyone who listens, THANK YOU. In ways that go deeper than words...thank you. We reflect on the training, the journey, how our lives have changed, and what's ahead. Shooters shoot. Next it was a "No Secrets" Q+A! Topics: why hydration recommendations of "drinking to thirst" are often wrong in races and training, fitness apps, early AM training, when training volume hits a saturation point, what weekly volumes might lead to breakthroughs, how love evolves (or doesn't), recovery runs, AI and energy use, gel flavors, adaptations to long-term heat training, the number of workouts we suggest per week, our frustrations with running media, and Listener Corner. This community kept us going with love and belief through some dark forests this year. This is OUR award. It would not have been possible if it was just us chasing history. But when we have this team lifting us up? Well, we might just F around and make history. We love you all! Huzzah!
