So I am following a PPL routine and was curious if having one day be weighted and the next day be high volume be beneficial to me. (Ex. Push day 1 I do less sets more weight and on Push day 2 I do no weight and more sets). Will that be best for muscle growth if I’m on a bulk?
UW said that during this stage, oliguria occurs, and there is a volume overload state. Ok, makes sense. Then, renal tubular dysfunction results in low urine osmolality, high urinary sodium, and high fractional excretion of sodium. How??
If there was high Na in the urine, and if water followed along - which would cause a low urine osm, how would this be considered oliguria?
Hi, I'm just a newbie in resistance training. Have been worked out for several months. I always hear that for hypertrophy, volume is king. My question is when doing progressive overload, when i increase the weight, i will only be able to finish less reps. Doesn’t that mean the overall volume (total reps x weight) will be less than previous week? In the end, my overall volume doesn’t increase (until several weeks/months later)
I came across Mike Tyson's supposed workout routine and found it odd that a man who weighed 109kg at 178cm didn't do any free weight exercises and only did very simplistic calisthenics exercises for a very high volume. Here is the supposed workout:
Daily Regimen (7 days a week):
5 AM: Get up and go for a 3 mile jog
6 AM: Come back home, shower, and go back to bed
10 AM wake up: Eat oatmeal
12 PM: Do ring work (10 rounds of sparring)
2 PM: Have another meal (steak and pasta with fruit juice)
3 PM: More ring work and 60 mins on the exercise bike
5 PM: 2000 sit-ups, 500-800 dips, 500 press-ups, 500 shrugs with a 30kg barbell, and 10 mins of neck exercises
7 PM: Steak and pasta meal with fruit juice
8 PM: Another 30 minutes on the exercise bike then watch TV and go to bed
I know Tyson was a genetic freak and probably on enhancers (as I think most professional athletes are) but even still 500 dips/push ups etc. rather than any free weight exercises or even difficult body weight movements does not seem like it would be conducive to a physique like his. Do you think this is genuine or was this routine a red herring as I imagine boxers ideally wouldn't want to release their workout information into the public domain?
Also can you use your "house Carl" or other mercenaries as pack mules? Do npcs have the same weight overload slowdown as the player does?
Hey guys, I've been doing PPL for the past couple of weeks and I am trying my best to incorporate progressive overload into my workouts as its important. I've ran into the problem of not being able to overload even if its by 1 rep? I usually can increase the rep by 1 for some exercises but for others I just can't...? Anyone else ran into this problem? Thanks!
Hi everyone,
So, the programme suggests after 3 deloads, turning into 3X5 for a specific exercise. this causes a decline in total volume. But of course it is going to help us lift heavier weights. However, what is the logic? the heavier the weights, the better the progress? isn't the decreasing volume against the logic of progressive overload? Or we will compensate this by lifting heavier weights?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Say session one on the bench i succesfully complete 80kg bench 5x5. Total volume 2000kg
Then in next session, i manage the following on 82.5kg
Set 1 - 5 reps Set 2 - 4 reps Set 3 - 3 reps Set 4 - 3 reps Set 5 - 3 reps
Total volume is 1485kg, less then previous session which was 2000kg. So what I do is then quickly hit a 6th set using 60kg
Set 6, 60kg - 9 reps
So total volume for session 2 is 2025kg
So there is a 25kg volume increase between session 1 and 2. Is that progessive overload?
So I've mostly been a lifter for the past 2 years or so, but due to frequent travelling requirements as part of my job I've been thinking of switching to a more bodyweight-focused on routine.
From my understanding, volume has always been the main driver of hypertrophy which is my primary goal. Which also seems to suit the calisthenics form of training as it is easier to increase volume than to add weight.
Now, my question is, how exactly do you make continous progression on volume alone without it becoming too much? I would imagine programming to be something along these lines:
Week 1: 3x10 Week 2: 3x11 Week 3: 3x12 Week 4: 4x10 Etc.
This is a rather simplistic representation and of course I don't imagine progression to be that linear. But say you eventually hit 10 sets of 12, does that become too much? How would you eventually move on from that?
I've used and enjoyed an app called "stacked" by Mike Mathews and I've also used "trainerize." I liked that trainerize allows you to keep track of whether you beat your volume records, and I like that Stacked tracks your lifts on a timeline showing your improvements over time.
Have any of you found a progressive overload app that does both? I want to base my plans on progressive overload but don't know the best way to track my progress.
Hi guys! I'd be really appreciated if someone could explain to me these 2 questions that have been bothering me as of late(sorry for being long)
-
As you know, the key to gaining muscle mass is progressive overload, and therefore "doing more work" and therefore more volume than you did on your last session. But volume is equal to reps x sets x weight. So, let's imagine that for a DB press, I can do 3 sets of 10 reps for 130 lbs. My volume would be 3 x 30 x 130, which is equal to 11700 lbs. So, next week I'd increase the weight to 140 lbs(The minimum I can increase is 10 lbs on Dumbbels), and I perform 3 sets of 9, 8 and 7 reps for 140 lbs. My volume would now be 3 x 24 x 140, which is equal to 10080 lbs. This means that even though that I increased the weight, my volume decreased. Is this bad?
-
For Dumbbels, I find it easier to increase the number or sets than the weight(like I said above, the minimum that you increase is 10lbs). So let's say that I can do 3 x 8-10 for 150 lbs. Next session I do 4 x 10,9,8,8 for the same weight. And then next session I'd want to increase the weight, so I did less reps: 3 x 6-8 for 160 lbs. Does this count as progressive overload? Because I am afraid that when I decrease the number of reps(by doing one less set), will hurt me even though that I increased the weight.
Cheers!
Are there any decent programs which use extra sets instead of extra weight/reps as there choice of progressive overload?
I find it waaaaaay easier to add extra sets to the end of my working sets than I do adding weight or reps into one of my working sets. I’ve tried loads of different approaches to doing this but nothing seems to work.
I cannot control my voice, i.e. I can't articulate myself well enough, I talk way too fast, and way too loud above all. But I suffer from extreme sensory overload and when I ask people, most times my family, to turn down the volume of the radio, or to talk more quietly, I get an "you can't control your voice but we have to be quiet? Who the hell do you think you are?" and they keep their voices up. Then I have to leave and get all introverted and they tell everyone (at family gatherings especially), "no surprise why she is being excluded at school", "drama queen", etc. In short, they mock me for it and I do not know what to do. They don't know about my Aspergers.
(I have not been diagnosed with it officially because my parents don't believe in mental health issues/anything else and believe I'm making up excuses. However, I have read ~1000 sources (not kidding, been doing research for over a year) on ASD, I have written a 13- page exam on it myself, etc. and I am confident that it's exactly my issue.)
I hate this. DAE get these kinds of problems in their social proximities?
Hi, medical student here, just have a question regarding mitral regurgitation and volume overload.
So I understand that mitral regurgitation is the back flow of blood from the LV to the left atrium as the mitral valves don't close properly.
What I don't understand is how this results in an increased stroke volume, because if there is back flow of blood into the left atrium, wouldn't that mean there would be less blood to pump out from the left ventricle, meaning a decreased cardiac output?
Thank you in advance for helping me clarify this!
