More is not more.
Let me tell you something that took me years to figure out.
More is not more.
I spent a big part of my training life thinking the answer to every plateau was to add more, more sets, more exercises, more days in the gym. It's what the culture tells you. Push harder, do more, grind through it.
But here's what I've learned. When results stop coming, the problem almost never is that you're not doing enough. It's that what you're doing isn't sharp enough.
Your sets aren't focused. Your rest periods are too long. You're going through the motions instead of actually connecting with the muscle. You've been doing the same exercises in the same order for six months and your body stopped responding because there's nothing new to adapt to.
That's when most men add volume. That's the wrong move.
Sharpen what you're already doing first. Slow the rep down. Tighten the rest period. Change one exercise. Add a drop set on the last set of your best movement. Force your body to respond to something it hasn't seen before.
Four to six sharp, intentional sets will outperform ten sloppy ones every single time. I'd bet everything I have on that.
Quality of effort beats quantity of effort. Every time. At any age.
When you hit a plateau, what's the first thing you change, and does adding more volume actually work for you?
