 Next question is from Catherine health journey. Can you explain how too much volume is negative for hypertrophy? Why is doing more exercises or more frequency often considered negative? Yeah, you know your your body isn't you're not building muscle You're not you're not improving your physique or your performance or your strength in your workout You really aren't all that's doing is it's sending a signal to the body that says We need to adapt and get better at this so that this same stress next time is no longer a stress And so your body what you want is your body to get stronger and you feel better And then next time you have to add weight do a little harder workout so you can continue that process If the stimulus is too hard and it overwhelms your body's ability to Adapt all you're gonna do is heal all you're ever gonna do is your body's ever gonna just try to heal and recover And you get stuck in this situation where you blast your body You get sore soreness goes away you go back to the gym You repeat the cycle over and over again And you never improve because your body can only focus on healing before your body adapts It heals it needs to heal before it adapts And if it doesn't if you give your body too much volume or too much intensity or too much frequency just too much in General your body can't adapt. It's impossible. It's constantly breaking down So the right dose will get you to the results Fastest well, you know more than that. We'll either slowly give that great analogy on the podcast and you haven't you haven't said in a while So maybe you can share it again is when you you know compare it to Sun tanning like oh yeah Tan like so it's it's more like that than something that oh the more I do the more results Yes, yes, you're a tiny tan is also an adaptation process, right? Your skin is adapting to the stress of the UV rays and it's getting darker so that it can tolerate more Well, if you you know if you can what exactly what happens when you stimulate with muscle Yeah, stimulate the body's adapting by building more muscle to be more resilient because it knows it's gonna get beat up like You saying you see the same process and building a callous too with with the skin Yes, so that's one of those things like it's beneficial at a certain point because now You know it allows like you to grip the bar You know without your skin getting so irritated, but there's a certain threshold where if we go too hard It's gonna rip off and we start over and we just got to heal That's right. So the gym is important working out is important, but you go too hard or too long or do too much Your body can't handle it. It's not gonna adapt and all you're doing is breaking down and Healing breaking down and healing. It's the what is that the breakdown recovery traps like a hamster wheel? I know lots of people like this. It's like they never improve or they improve I was this way for years for years. I train because I I subscribe to this idea of training to failure So like every workout it need to be I need to be crushing it more than the last workout And so you and it was like how if I wasn't sore enough the next day problem with that was I was never adapting and growing I was you know, I was recovering sometimes and not even all times fully recovering So I was hammering myself so much that I didn't even not only did I not fully recover I also didn't adapt and get stronger which is and a clear indication of this a real easy way for someone to go Like well, how do I know is if you're not if you're not getting stronger ever And and if you actually see yourself Decreasing strength. Yeah really common to see that where you have all sudden you've been consistent for two months three months Or oh, and you're getting weaker one week are you overdoing it? Oh, this is a hard conversation though to have a lot of times because you think about the person that works so Incredibly hard and it's it's something that they've always done and it's worked out in every other direction But there's there's a certain point where just working hard is is not going to do it Like you really have to be smart about your approach and in the body adapts and that's different than just beating the shit out Yes, we're a hard work is very valuable But boy you can dig a ditch with a spoon and you're gonna be working real hard But the guy next to you with a backhoe he's gonna get there much faster, right? So you got to do it smart too
