The author seems to ignore the fact that "1m rest periods is best" and "5m rest periods maximizes hypertrophy when volume is kept constant" can both be correct

The author seems to ignore the fact that "1m rest periods is best" and "5m rest periods maximizes hypertrophy when volume is kept constant" can both be correct when you consider that:
- Volume is EXTREMELY important
- People have a finite amount of time to lift weights
The person doing 30 work sets in 60 minutes is going to get more gainz than someone doing 10 work sets in 60 minutes.
- mrits 6y agoHe does mention that in the article actually.
- bseidensticker 6y agoIt is mentioned that volume matters, but I am saying that this conclusion is wrong: "The bodybuilders had lots of opportunities to experiment and tinker, with lots of skin in the game, but they were still getting things pretty wrong..." All they did was mistakenly attribute success to short rest periods when it was actually about volume.
