Election Day Bonus - You Have Two Choices... for Strength and Muscle (Volume vs. Intensity)

Wits & Weights | Smart Science to Build Muscle and Lose Fat

What if the key to maximizing your strength and muscle is based on how you vote?
No, not for president or your local politicians, but between two important choices:
Volume vs. Intensity
Let's settle the long-standing debate: do you cast your “vote” for volume—stacking up work (reps, sets, tonnage, and skill development) to build a solid foundation?
Or do you go all-in on intensity, focusing on heavy, high-effort lifts to push the envelope and increase your max force production?

Main Takeaways:

• Volume and intensity are often seen as rivals in strength training
• A periodized approach lets you get the best of both worlds
• The importance of “building a base” before pushing intensity
• How to adapt volume and intensity for sustainable, long-term gains
