In the final instalment of our deep dive into training volume, Dr Soko joins us to give you guys exactly what you need to know to ensure you know exactly what training volumes are best to drive your progress, how to adjust that volume accordingly over time, and how to interpret the research data in context.

Tonnes of topics covered in this one, including liver enzyme escalation in bodybuilders, useless nootropics for bodybuilders to use, increasing dopamine without next day negatives, balancing glutamate & GABA, the list goes on!

This episode, we help you guys to cut through the noise of the current social media craze in the bodybuilding world, training volume.



We cover what some of the new research says, our interpretation of that data, what in the trenches anecdotal evidence tells us, and how to use the whole body of evidence to make a decision on where to set your own volumes on a per body part bases.



Also, some cool side quests regarding effective reps and how to track volume with various RIR and rest pause sets also.



For part 2, Dr. Chester Soko will be joining us to give us his expert opinion on all of the above too!

We kick this one off with a surprisingly scary yet funny story from Joe's travels to Milan, and then some extensive Q&A featuring modafinil recovery and nootropic protocols.

After our brief podcasting hiatus, Austin & Joe get caught up over the Christmas period, with some funny stories from the end of the show season dropped in there too!

This is one from the archives that had not yet been posted, when Austin and Joe get caught up at the tail end of the 2023 season. Considerations for any new competitors to keep in mind when rolling into their first season.
