VOLUME VS. EFFECTIVE REPETITIONS
Volume vs. Effective Repetitions
Reconciling Two Sides of the Same Coin.
By: Eric Bugera
- Mechanical tension appears to be the main driver of muscle hypertrophy.
- Challenging sets that generate high degrees of mechanical tension can be accomplished using many repetition ranges.
- Use moderate to higher repetition sets (or a greater number of sets) to generate the required mechanical tension until skill or strength enable you to use higher load with less repetitions.
Â
Confused?
Building muscle is one of the most common goals a client will bring you. Luckily, the literature on hypertrophy has expanded enormously over the last few decades – providing numerous strategies, clarifications, and mechanistic underpinnings to guide your decisions in the gym.Â
Two seemingly rival themes have emerged amongst most successful muscle building philosophies. First, a set must be meaningfully challenging to assure a reasonable hypertrophy stimulus was delivered to the muscle – high eff...
PODCAST EPISODE #322: SICK PODCAST
SUBSCRIBE
This episode is jam packed with Pre-Script coaches in a roundtable with Killian Hamilton, Brandon Schultze, Jordan Shallow and Jordan Jiunta. The Canadian conversation quickly diverges into discussions on forward modeling and making decisions in life and during exercise. The importance of creating awareness to effectively utilize a warmup and when that crosses into the borders of vigilance to become detrimental to a training session are talked about. Intuition, fatigue management and adopting a mindset to better understand clients and meeting them where they are is a huge take away from this can't miss episode.

BALANCING WANTS AND NEEDS
Balancing Wants and Needs
Giving clients what they want by giving them what they need.
Abdurahmaan Saloojee is a personal trainer from Ottawa, Canada. He enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with cats.
Â
- People often don’t know what they need when you first talk to them.
- Our job as trainers isn’t to tell them what they need, but to help them uncover it.
- Our job then becomes to provide them with what they need while giving them enough of what they want in order for them to remain interested.Â
When people sit down with a personal trainer they usually are not sure what they want, let alone how to get it. If they did, they wouldn’t be asking for a trainer. That often becomes muddied by what they need – sometimes, those can be two different things (in some cases, two opposing things). By asking better questions and listening more, we can gain a better understanding of wants and needs, thus providing a better service and improving client retention.Â
