Thanks for the article Alexander. I’ve been following an outline of your Longevity Program for sometime now(and love it). However I’ve been doing 2 sets of each exercise to failure. Interested in whether the following counts as progressive overload: let’s say I am doing 150 lbs OHP for 10 reps and 9 reps(to failure) and that’s my personal best. I come to the gym and can’t “get there” however I do 3 sets of 7/7/7. Since that is more volume, is that a form of progression? Thank you.

Does this apply to tall men? I did a quick read through of tallman training (will be doing a slower read soon) and I believe I picked up for taller guys it's better to do more reps.

I started to lower the weight and raise the reps for bicep curls as an example, and have felt like my workouts are better.
