What do you make of Greg Nuckols reasoning for doing more volume (taken from his Bulgarian manual)It just makes sense to me that stronger makes you bigger makes you stronger etc.
And some element of hypertrophy from a volume based routine will be more weighted towards glycogen & water than from a load based routine. No idea how that can ever be measured ofc.
"Once you max out those neurological
factors, you’ve simply got to grow. This is why training volume (the main driver
of hypertrophy) with adequate intensity (at least 65-70%1rm) is the crucial
factor for long-term success on a problem.
For this reason, when you hit a plateau, the way forward isn’t to strain harder
on your daily max, but rather to do more dropback sets after that daily max;
you simply must increase training volume to drive hypertrophy, and thus future
strength gains."
