Episode 12 with Ethan Grossman - All Things Volume
Episode description
In this Episode Ryan, Ethan, and I talk shop on the nuances surrounding some of the more technical issues in the training world. We don't give concrete answers and we all have different opinions, but if you love the extremely important yet granular details of the weight room and programming you will love this conversation.
Tracking Volume and RPE/RIR
1 to 1 for agonists and synergists?
Sets to a 6 RPE vs. sets to a 9 RPE?
Accounting for different strength curves in exercise selection and volume tracking?
Accounting for position in exercise selection and volume tracking?
Progressing Volume
Do we oscillate volume or do we ride it until it is broke and then move up or deload?
Can we just play the tension game for decades and work around and work to prevent over-use injuries or would we be better off utilizing different macrocycles within the training year?
Utilizing strength and loading as the primary driver of volume?
