Welcome to The Muscle Mentors Podcast!
In this episode, Luke, Paul, James & Ross talk about all things Training Volume.
You know, that age-old question: "How many sets per week/session are best for X muscle(s)?". That's what we're chatting about here.
Want to come and learn with us in person in the UK? Make sure to add yourself to the waiting list for our upcoming events here: https://www.themusclementors.co.uk/sold-out-page
We chatted about:
- How training volume is classically defined and measured.
- The issues with the majority of the research into this area.
- A new and interesting way we could start viewing training volume going forwards - what Luke recently termed 'The New Paradigm for Training Volume' on our Education Portal.
We recently delivered an in-depth webinar on this topic on our Education Portal. Make sure to get involved in these Live Education Sessions by joining the Portal here: www.themusclementors.co.uk. We hold them every Thursday at 7 PM (UK Time).

Welcome to The Muscle Mentors Podcast!
This week Cal and Ross are joined by Joe Jeffery and Christian Chapman of the Physique Collective, and Tom Hames of Evolution Coaching to talk about diuretic use within the world of bodybuilding & physique competitions.
Following tragic recent events within the industry, the guys thought it would be a great idea to spend some time discussing diuretic application in physique sport, the risks, the reasons for deployment, and the mechanisms in play.
Also discussed are some alternative methods to peaking, and why perhaps this could be the superior protocol when it comes to driving maximum response whilst maintaining the integrity of health markers.
The boys didn't go too heavily into the specifics here as that would be getting beyond the scope of the conversation, but some knowledge bombs to be taken nevertheless.
As you'll see, this is part coaching chat, part open discussion, and part general catch up!

Welcome to The Muscle Mentors Podcast!
In this episode, Luke, Paul & James discuss the age-old concept of *Range Of Motion* and how it relates to our own training and work as coaches.
Want to learn more from us? Make sure to book onto our October 2021 Level 1 Practical Camp: https://www.themusclementors.co.uk/practical-camp-booking
Specifically, the guys look at the debate between the approach of always performing exercises with a *Full Range Of Motion*, versus the often misunderstood approach of using *Active Range of Motion*.
This episode will help you understand how much nuance there is to the term: *Range of Motion*, and more importantly, how you can start looking at and performing exercises to help ensure you maximise your "lifting longevity", so to speak.
Undoubtedly, some feathers will probably be ruffled by this episode (particularly if you're a Full R.O.M advocate). Hopefully, if that's you, you'll still enjoy the episode and take some useful bits away from it. If you have any thoughts of your own, please share them with us below.
Similar to last week's conversation, this was great fun. If you want the guys to discuss it further, please drop a comment below, and perhaps consider joining our Education Portal (www.themusclementors.co.uk) so you can be a part of future conversations we may have on there on the topic.

Welcome to The Muscle Mentors Podcast!
In this episode, Luke, Paul & Ross discuss what it means to train 'to failure', the many different (and often conflicting) definitions of the concept, and what this all means for our training and coaching.
Want to learn more from us? Make sure to book onto our October 2021 Level 1 Practical Camp: https://www.themusclementors.co.uk/practical-camp-booking
The concept of training to failure is always a hot topic in the industry, and rightfully so! There are SO many different versions of it when we get into the nitty-gritty of day-to-day training.
This conversation will serve to open your eyes to some of these versions of failure, and how you can use them within your own training and coaching practices.
We also get into the weeds a little with respect to how the various conflicting definitions of failure can and do dramatically affect research being done in the area of hypertrophy.
We all really enjoyed this conversation, so if you want to hear us discuss it further drop and comment below, and perhaps consider joining our Education Portal (www.themusclementors.co.uk) so you can be a part of the conversation too.
