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.
You're right obviously, but I struggle with finding the right balance between heavy/too heavy. I've injured myself twice by going too heavy (even though it felt like the right weight). It could've be form but I've asked others and have been told it looks fine. It's possible I wasn't warmed up properly?

Any thoughts?
