#204 - Hypertrophy Training Explained: Volume, Failure & Avoiding Junk Reps
Monday, 8 September, 2025
On today’s episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I’m joined by Ryan and CeCe to answer one of the biggest questions in training: how much volume do you really need to build muscle? We break down the science and the practical side of hypertrophy training, covering everything from junk volume and why it slows down your progress, to how close you should be training to failure, to the right number of sets for growth. If you’ve ever felt confused about whether you’re doing too much or not enough in the gym, this conversation will give you the clarity and action steps you need to dial in your program and keep progressing.-25% OFF!
