yes, when I said do, I should have said 'created', I did see hypothetical. NWlifter said: wow, they did do a study like that (even if hypothetical using data from other studies), awesome, thanks for posting it!!!

" Training Status: Novices may benefit more from higher frequency and volume, while advanced trainees might require more recovery." that is the part that is interesting to me. Studies seem to show that as we advance, if we use a 'like' program as earlier, we recover faster and the protein...

oh wow that's from 2000?

very interesting, sounds very spot on !

Yes, I don't believe that new fad of recovery being better with heavier. I was thinking the frequency reduction based on the volume (1x15, 2x10, 3x5_) Ok interesting on the second post, cool info.

cool adjustment on the frequency. I had a thread years ago where I was thinking it might be cool to do 2 weeks of 15's , one set,(1x15) 3x a week full body 2 weeks of 10s, two sets (2x10), but each muscle twice a week (ab, rest ab, weekend) 2 weeks of 5's, three sets (3x5), each muscle three...

Agree, I've found that proximity to failure is the number one thing that affects my recovery.

for sure a full body of 1 set a week vs full body 3x a week would usually find the 3x a week way better. But, the volume equated tells us the truth, that 9 sets once a week is the same as 3 sets 3x a week. it keeps all variables the same except frequency so that one can be looked at. The bummer...

It's hard to guess on that, it's one of those 'theory vs reality' kinda things. Most studies on frequency now find that it's individual, it depends on recovery (not just the muscle but the joints, connective tissues, CNS, etc.) and that most of the time, the differences are so small that 'weekly...

The main thing is, regular training obviously works. (5x5, 4x8, myo-reps, higher reps, lower reps, etc.) the idea with HST is to 'hack' the system and gain faster. We have no idea what our individual 'fast' vs 'slow and steady' gains might be, so it's hard to judge these things. Some of the...

I'll comment a bit on some of your points above ( @Clayton) Metabolic 'stuff' so to speak, does for sure upregulate some of the signal factors for hypertrophy, as does mechanical stress (newer info. looks like that's via the opening of 'titin' in the sarcomere). I myself am pretty positive...

I think repair and hypertrophy all happen at the same time, but if there is significant damage, the whole process can take a lot longer. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpendo.00454.2020?fbclid=IwAR1zgaQsi7G9uBL4XQ0hDZSGhOy70c8iow86TBEH5AOY3Uft7lASxFBja44&journalCode=ajpendo...

It'll come up with extra D my wife got hers into the high 30's in 6 months and hers was super low, so many people in non sunny areas have low D I guess

What was your D level? A few years ago my wife was tested and she was at like 6, the doctor was like omg, never seen anyone that low before.
