Yes! Seems obvious doesn’t it. I would start there. To maximize volume, you must follow some biofeedback (movement, heart rate, etc) to listen to your body.

When I do high volume (or any training) I always test every movement via range of motion testing. If a movement, say deadlifts is not showing a better range of motion (biofeedback), I will not do it. You can do high volume, but you need to work into it like all things and just do crappy reps in the name of volume. High quality work is always the most important.

For example, for powerlifting I won’t do movement that compromise my gait / range of motion / quality of movement. This may cost me a few pounds in the here and now, but I know long term I am always moving in a forward direction. Plus my main goal is more “sport” based.

Hope that helps a bit

PS
I owe you an email!

I would like to see any abstracts you have on live protein and efficiency. I have not personally seen any data published on this, but there are tons of studies I have not read. I am all for a more efficient way.

The Hunza are very interesting and I’ve heard Randy Roach talk about them. From what I know they were great athletes and grew all their own food.

It would make sense that the better raw materials, the faster and better we could turn over tissue (excluding of course other factors such as training, stress, etc).

Any more info you have would be great
thanks

Please provide the research you are drawing from to come up with your conclusion that live food protein is assimilated twice as much/effectively as cooked or animal protein. Not websites, but documented/published research that I could easily locate via pubmed.

Thanks

so if this model was combined with the tissue turnover rate stuff, it might make it even faster/better quality. brian clement of the hippocrates institute has done a lot of research on this, and the amount of time it takes each part of our body to completely turn over. the quality of our food effects how fast and of what quality our various tissues regenerate.

food for thought

On another note, how do you spare yourself from form breakdown, doing something like German Volume Training + EDT in terms of the 4 elements of efficiency promoted by Z-Health?

I’m assuming based on Z, you don’t care as much about the set and rep scheme, as much as total poundage lifted?

Thanks for the video, keep them coming!
