Join us in this clip from The Proof with Simon Hill, Episode 306, where I sit down with Alyssa Olenick to explore the nuances of achieving muscle growth through resistance training. Alyssa, known for her deep understanding of exercise physiology, takes us beyond the common workout myths and into the realm of effective training strategies. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on the quality of each set over the sheer number of sets, and the benefits of spreading workout sessions throughout the week for targeted muscle groups such as the glutes.

In this engaging conversation, we cover:
• The ideal balance between the number of sets and their quality for muscle growth.
• Effective ways to structure weekly workouts to avoid fatigue and maintain workout intensity.
• Tailoring workout volumes to individual fitness goals and body responses.
• The crucial role of consistent, progressive training in seeing real gains.

Get the latest insights into fitness and join the conversation on the science behind effective muscle building.
