in your last discussion with Nuckols, you discussed hypertrophy training with higher reps (20 rep max). And was wondering about a few aspects of my training planning for my company run,next year. I wanted to focus on running after my current 7 wk )
hypertrophy plan ends, and I was thinking about how to change my training volume. so question:
is 1 set of 20 reps the same as 4 sets of 5 reps in terms of volume?
Since I will likely lift twice a week (1 day less) I was hoping to keep my volume higher for the comp lifts. For example do more myo rep sets. My focus will be running but in those two days I want to keep my volume as high as possible and I thought that sets at 14-16 reps would achieve that goal.
is there a difference in hypertrophy/muscle gain outcomes between a workout with high reps and one with low reps if the total volume and rpe are the same? ex: 3 sets of 6 @ rpe 8 vs 1 set of 18 reps @ rpe 8? (I realize the most optimal is the 6/8/14-16 rep variety of the hypertrophy template)
since I will only train barbells twice a week once running training begins, can I do high rep sets (like myoreps) of the competition lifts to maintain volume and not lose too much of the strength I gained from the 3 day hypertrophy plan (which im currently rerunning)?
