Should we focus on intensity or volume of training? Some will tell you to focus on intensity, that you have to train hard until failure for better muscle gains, while others will advise you to focus on training volume. But what is the most effective method for gaining muscle? What do the studies say? I finally give the answers to the question that many of you ask yourselves: should we do short but very intense sessions or is it better to accumulate a high training volume for maximum muscle gains?
