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","meta_description":"In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present , Jake and Chris dive into whether more volume is always better.
