random q:

Anyone know how much intensity / length of workout matters for strength workouts vs overall volume? 

E.g. if I workout 4 days/week and lift a total of X lbs, what changes if I lift the same X lbs over 6 days but do shorter workouts each day?

all very good advice in the replies!

realistically if you’re a beginner to intermediate lifter, any intensity level is going to be OK. volume of lifting matters much less. there’s a finite ceiling of improvement you’re going to hit early on, so resting is >>>

beginners really need to focus on the quality of their reps. the strength of ligaments and tendons, stabilizing the body, and listening to your muscles (both actively and during recovery) is first priority.

your volume and output will fluctuate dramatically, even 2-3 years into lifting

damn i was so excited to give out beginner advice 😅
