In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake Doleschal and Chris Beardsley break down a pre-steroid bulking routine from Alan Stephen, an underrated Silver Era bodybuilder who trained with a pretty unique method. They explore how this high volume, low rep program makes sense with the stimulating reps model, and use it as a springboard to unpack one of the most misunderstood training concepts: work capacity.
Key Topics:
• The three definitions of “work capacity” and which one actually matters
• Why volume doesn’t improve your ability to do more work
• How cardiovascular endurance (and not higher reps or more sets) influences gym performance
