JK- this was another great, straight to the point, article.
As an aside, your 12/16/23 article on resistance training for fat loss really made a light bulb go off in my head. I’ve changed my training based on that article. So, thank you.
My question for you- do you have a preferred total volume(sets and reps) that you use to facilitate hypertrophy? I’ve seen plenty of opinions; I’m interested to hear your take.
Traditionally, 10-12 reps, 5 sets moderate heavy for hypertrophy. Working 1-2 sets per exercise to failure also has shown to be effective. Spotter needed for squat and/or bench if working to failure. Very effective.

JK,
How does intensity differ from resistance?
Thank you for reminding us it isn’t complex.

When referring to resistance training, intensity is the level of resistance or weight used
