In episode 896 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Chris Chavanu to break down Mike Mentzer, Heavy Duty training, low-volume training, high-volume training, workout intensity, failure, recovery, progressive overload, bodybuilding nutrition, contest prep, and healthspan. Chris explains why brief, hard training may build more muscle with less time in the gym, while Robert challenges the idea with real world bodybuilding experience. If you care about muscle growth, training frequency, recovery, and staying lean while building a strong body, this talk gives you a clear look at both sides of the volume vs intensity debate.
