Dr. Mike Israetel debates me on VOLUME vs INTENSITY for Muscle Growth. My Response!!!

In this video I go over Mike Israetel's recent appearance on the lifting Dermatologists video reviewing what the optimal volume vs intensity would be for muscle growth. They discuss my views on the matter. Does he agree with me? What specific facts is Mike getting completely wrong, and what does he say that I agree with?


2:20 - Mike Israetel vs. Greg - What the literature says.
6:23 - Noobs vs. Advanced lifters.
8:34 - Literature is only on untrained. Mike agrees with Greg. TRAIN HARDER
10:35 - Mike says "Going to failure does actually grow more muscle". IE Greg is Right.
12:15 - Mike says Greg doesn't actually say how much to do... But I do. LISTEN UP!
15:30 - Mike and greg say people train less hard than they think.
16:40 - Mike says 5 sets to Failure is EASY?!?! NO!
20:00 - Systemic fatigue and local contractility of the muscle... Um. OKay.
22:07 - Does Mike agree with Jeff Nippard, or Jeff Cavaliere and Greg?
23:15 - Mike didn't understand what 10% MEANS....
27:15 - Training beyond failure. Mike once again agrees with basically everything I say.
