do you need to do sets of three four no but what I would say is like don't necessarily count them out because uh a lot of people actually just do really well with variety

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

so you know lean body mass and strength are very closely tied together but when it gets to those finer levels of strength it's kind of just practicing the actual you know one rep max so when it comes to uh you know getting strong you can absolutely get strong you know doing sets 10 15 because you're increasing your lean body mass do you need to do sets of three four no but what I would say is like don't necessarily count them out because uh a lot of people actually just do really well with variety so you know periodization was kind of a big thing for lifting back in the day and now we've kind of shown that at least in the research studies it doesn't appear to produce greater gains in lean body mass maybe a little bit better strength gains but that's probably just because people Peak better when you're periodizing things but what tends to actually be shown is that people just tend to like periodization better because they're varying their repetitions they're not as bored right so you never want to kind of pooh-poo the psychological effects of those things I talk about this with diet as well adherence is the most important thing just getting people to come in and do it
