I created EVLO because as a physical therapist, there was nothing I could recommend that was both

effective and wasn't going to leave my patients exhausted and depleted. We apply the science of

0:10.4

hypertrophy into easy to follow short classes that you can do from home. Each class is taught by a

Welcome to the show.

Today we're diving into volume and frequency.

1:37.9

How many sets per week you need to build muscle.

1:43.4

How many times per week you should train slash how often you should train each muscle group.

1:45.5

And what the research actually says about maintaining muscle if you just want to keep what you've built. So before we get into the

1:52.4

numbers, none of this works unless you're choosing the right exercises and training close enough
