Why upper body require more volume?

[John Hanley]

Provide to me your test scores.

You still shitting on standardized tests, Bro?

Also, fuck that Brooks article. Pure ramble.

My only question is about recovery... the larger muscle groups should be able to recovery from an equivalent workload faster.

These muscles have a much larger work capacity and move far more weight in a workout.

Everything I have read has indicated that the smaller the mucle group, the FASTER it recovers....... Just things I have read throughout the years so take it with a grain of salt. But seems like others are agreeing.

[John Hanley]

Always will, and I excelled at them. They are a game.

Triple Nine Card, please.

The point is valid, but obfuscated with unnecessary words.

This is an age of anxiety

Similar ages have led to fanaticism

Let me recommend a simple trick to avoid fanaticism: maintain rationality and equipoise in the face of complex, ambiguous, anxiety-inducing reality.

Whatamimissing?

I'll add my anecdotal evidence to the large pool of anecdotal evidence... (again talking about 'not hurting' vs 'recovered')

After OHP my upperbody 'feels' almost nothing after 15 seconds or so. I still need to rest for close to 10 minutes to hit my next set of 5.

After my squat I need 3-4 minutes to not 'feel' anything, but I need 8 minutes to be ready for the next set.

Now I can squat like this 3x per week, but I can't OHP over and over.

stop asking questions /s and slowly titrate upper body variables until lifts start going up consistently... after running standard LP

upper body is all about titration

Need more data:

Age, height, weight, squat and press

Provide to me your test scores.

His test levels are over 9000. I've seen the lab reports.

(which was three decades ago), +3

Weird. I thought IQ was stable over time.

Also: logic is gay.

Why can a 115lb woman squat heavy 4-5 times a week

One of my speculations were about total work as pointed out by Pawn. But to even match total tonnage (weight x reps x sets), upper body volume (sets x reps) needs to be significantly higher than lower body volume.

Regarding recovery I recall dr Mike Israetel saying that the bigger the muscle, the more recovery it needs. I don't remember his explanation for this, if he provided any.

PS. Found dr Israetels vid. He only stated the fact, didn't explain it. But in a 7 min video he really didn't have time for it. However he mentioned chest one of those large muscle groups that need more recovery. Granted the info he provided was in the context of bodybuilding style training.
