We've chatted about this topic before, and with more work, more time is spent on the backend recovering for the next workout. But what if you shorten the timeline, say a training bout of 8 weeks where you aggressively kick up the amount of work you perform. How much "more" is "more" related to what you can expect out of improving your strength and muscle size. How many sets per week for a specific muscle group might you actually need? How much relative weight do you need to lift? How quickly should you lift the resistance? How much rest in between sets might you factor in? We'll chat about all these questions and more in this episode, along with a few things to consider if you decide now is the time to ramp up your workouts. Happy training!
