What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the real bodybuilding podcast episode number 67 and I am here with the much requested Jordan Peters. How are you sir?

I'm very well. Thank you for having me. I asked you before the before you got on why you're sitting in the dark maybe you want to explain to everybody.

I'm not really sure I like being in the dark. Especially after I've trained, I can then relax a lot more and unwind a lot more if I'm sitting in just a dark cool road.

Is it because of your training? your training is really intense and I'm imagining you probably need to calm down after that or is that?

Genuinely yes, but even when I'm training as well like when we we go in there, and let's say we go upstairs and there's no one on, no one up there, I turn all the lights off.

Really? Yeah, it's just an strange habit of mine. Obviously we've got the natural light coming in,

but I don't like artificial light that much.

All right, well, it's good man, whatever you like.

So I wanted to get you on because you are you seem to be the authority on all things training and nutrition and I wanted to

just kind of delve into the X and O's usually the real body

million podcast is more about kind of who the person is and we might get into some of

that but I feel like people really really want to tap into your training nutrition knowledge.

So are you okay if we just start with our X's and O's?

Absolutely, buddy, whatever you want.

Okay, so first thing we're going to do because it's come up on the most recent

podcast that I did was, we'll start with training because one of the things that came

up was, um, with training volume and how much is too much during your workout and how many sets should be to failure and how many sets should be to failure and

how many sets should be working sets and all this type of stuff.

So I know it seems kind of remedial, but at the same time, you know, I had guy sister Nino on who's a seven-time Olympian.

And he is adamant that really it's the only way for him to train is to do like every set to failure.

Sure. But he's also notorious for injury and all these other things so I was trying to explain to him that maybe pulling back would help. So I guess I'm asking you where's your mind on that type of on that question there?

So for me, volume is dictated initially by frequency.
