Seven years later, would you modify this scheme?
Is there validity to the volume/consistency over intensity argument? Training 1⁄2 max reps every day vs going to failure 2-3 times week.
An illustration:
10 reps is your pull-up max.
Volume/consistency: 5 reps every day for 35 a week vs Intensity: 2-3 workouts for 20-30 reps a week.
Over a year that’s 1820 vs 1040-1560.

Teenagers generally don’t start learning to drive until they have had fifteen years to orient themselves in the world.
AI and teenagers are not starting from the same point so the comparison does not map very well.
