Training to Failure vs. Smart Volume – How many sets do you actually need to grow, and when pushing too hard stops helping
Volume vs. Intensity: The Curved Line of Gains – Why more isn’t always better, and when pushing harder just adds fatigue
The Myth of “All-Out” Every Set – Why one to two reps in reserve may be more effective (and sustainable) than full failure
Muscle Growth Is Nonlinear – Why more isn’t always better—and how to find your sweet spot for gains
-Pushing to the Limit: When Spirit Energy Beats Science – Why some people train to the edge for reasons beyond results
