Will high set volume training actually build muscle?

I think people are totally different. When I first started training, I went at it like a nutcase - training every day to failure, not knowing what I was doing. I hardly slept, I was too busy eating and training.

Might've been a silly way of doing things, and in theory I should've overtrained - but I didn't. I packed on 3 stone of muscle before I even learnt what an "amino acid" was lol.

Its not that i dont 'get it', I do.

i just dont like charts haha.

Its all just common sense really - the stronger/older/more experience you have = more time needed to reach supercompensation between sessions and and increase in the need to 'change things up' as it were.

I did this, i gained my first 10lbs without understanding the most basic of things haha.

I guess when you first start, really, you just want to lift and gain muscle - as time goes on and you start to enjoy it and think more about what you do, you start learning.

I sometimes think that knowing too much actually hinders my progress.

.... get out, destroy some weights or logs and then eat like a horse.

Repeat as many times as necessary.
