I’ve been playing around with a variety of training strategies to make training more time efficient recently - antagonist supersets, drop-sets, past-failure training and more. If you’ve got a busy lifestyle, but still want to make gains, these techniques are a must.

There is no shame in deprioritising lifting, even if it's a big part of your life.
Although chasing maximum gains can be a fun and rewarding journey, it's totally fine to have other priorities and opt for good enough gains, even if lifting is a big part of your life/personality. Research consistently shows that low training volumes, as little as ~4 sets per muscle group per week, can still be effective for strength and hypertrophy, even in trained lifters accustomed to higher volumes.
If you’ve been struggling with a training, nutrition, or recovery puzzle you just can’t quite crack, I’m here to help.
I’m now offering 1:1 consultations where we can dive deep into your specific questions, troubleshoot what’s holding you back, and map out clear next steps tailored to you.
Don't get me wrong, if waking up at 3am and taking ice baths makes your life better, then by all means rock it. That said, being healthy and fit is simple. You don't need a specialized morning routine, fancy supplements or to do anything too unconventional. Be physically active, lift, have a regular sleep schedule and do your best to mostly eat whole foods. The rest are minor details at best.

Growing big legs is a struggle for a lot of lifters - not because they’re lazy, but because leg training is easy to misapply.
Volume, execution, exercise selection, range of motion, and progression matter far more than just “trying harder.” A solid science-based routine can cut years of trial-and-error.

Our systematic review on longer muscle length training has been published and is free to read! Training at longer muscle lengths tends to produce more muscle growth, particularly in the vastus lateralis. It may also increase fascicle length, suggesting greater longitudinal hypertrophy, though evidence is mixed and based on questionable extrapolation methods.
The structural mechanisms remain unclear, as no studies have directly measured serial sarcomere addition.
Training at long muscle lengths may favor distal muscle growth, however, most research has been conducted in untrained individuals with low ecological validity. Future research should focus on trained populations, direct sarcomere measurements, and ecologically valid training protocols.

Anecdotal experience can be valuable, but it's not infallible. In a self-experiment, countless confounders go unchecked, making it easy to misattribute progress to a single change. Someone might add a new exercise, see gains, and assume that it's because of that single exercise, while ignoring a ton of factors that could have explained the gains they've experienced. When PEDs are in the mix, things get even muddier since growth can happen regardless of training changes, making it even harder to know what actually caused gains. A well-designed study removes many of these confounders, making its findings more reliable. Just because something worked for you doesn't mean it was the reason for your progress or that it will work for others. Science isn't perfect, but it's the best tool we have for understanding what actually drives muscle growth.
