Building muscle is about getting close to failure to maximize muscle fibre engagement. You also need enough volume which right now has been determined as 10 sets or more per muscle group per week. That is why he can change it up all the time. As long as he does enough sets per week and pushes those sets as close to failure as possible he gets all the gains he can. If you train and you stop your sets at 12 because the program tells you to but you could do more you are leaving gains on the table. Train hard every time and train frequently to get volume. Progressive overload will happen naturally since you are always pushing your self you will be increasing reps and weight all the time.

I still think your missing out on a monster exercise for your calves Ryan. Where one kneels down on the ground (a towel for protection underneath) and tuck your toes and palms of you feet under a bar or heavy sofa. Then lean forward trunk slightly bent(if too straight then it goes into the hamstrings) keep the tension by rocking back and forth. Then watch your (inner) calves absolutely blow up. It's the best exercise I've found bar none for calves.

The thing that worries me is that Ryan advocates a lot of reps. I worry that's an issue for long term training. There is a reason why power lifters and heavy lifters seem to have long careers and are able to lift heavy late in life compared to bodybuilders.
Ir seems the tons and tons of sets and reps cause more long term joint issues compared to heavy weight and less sets and reps. I feel for longevity, it's better to do heavy weight and less volume.

Great work! I have dumped a lot of my other subscriptions and anxiously wait for your content. It is counter intuitive compared to many others but makes perfect sense. Short and sweet. Let's get after it! Also happy to see other plant based trainers gaining traction. I appreciate the fact you don't stand on that soap box to increase your exposure.

Thank you for your videos. They set the standard.
How about some drills for those with a noticeable imbalance in size. For ex, my left arm is bigger than right (left handed. My work shirt is tight around my left arm, but I can stick 2 fingers in sleeve on right. Noticeable in mirror as well. Thanks for what you are doing.

Awesome once again -. Rayan you go from a normal rep number to a high number - am confused! Always been taught to do either one or the other but not both together. You tend to do both combined. Pls do a video to tell us how you manage this as part of a weekly routine. Thx a lot

How do you complete the hammer curl/drag curl exercise? Is it 1x hammer rep then 1x drag rep straight after the other in the same set? If so, how many reps in the set? Or are they 2 separate sets to be completed altogether? If so, how many reps in each set? Please reply!

you said this: when you pull it up just protant your thumbs out and lean into it and make it worse. then, you block head, you show an example and you do not lean into it at all. you remain at the angle. nothing you say is consistent except your guaranteed buffoonery.

Big fan of your videos, keep them coming. Maybe you have answered this before, but I-m new to the gym. What is the best way or format to put together a work out with out spending all day in the gym? Do you have a plan or guide to help with this?

Hey Ryan first off let me say I really enjoy all your videos and content but could you please do a full body workout for guys like me who can only get in the gym 3 to 4 times a week. Your knowledge and concepts would be greatly appreciated.
