  FOOTNOTES:<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml5uvpfXcLU&amp;t=10">0:10</a> - I analyzed his workouts from Jan 1 to Feb 7th 2024. Here is the spreadsheet I used for the full breakdown, if you want to check it out: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mvwtrxLciyETtNCW_hbqdOBH2w1PKGcZJpzZ8IhiPQY/">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mvwtrxLciyETtNCW_hbqdOBH2w1PKGcZJpzZ8IhiPQY/</a><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml5uvpfXcLU&amp;t=20">0:20</a> - For his total volume, the percentages won’t add up to 100% because some exercises target multiple muscles. I also didn&apos;t include every muscle in this graph -- see the spreadsheet above for a more detailed breakdown.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml5uvpfXcLU&amp;t=607">10:07</a> - When I report his rep ranges, I am referring to his full range of motion reps only. After Sam exhausts a full range of motion, he often does upwards of 5-7 more partial reps. I didn’t include these as normal reps when counting rep ranges because they would technically be beyond “task failure” as defined in the literature. It also seems wrong to count a 1/10th ROM rep as an “actual rep” so I had to draw the line somewhere.

  &quot;Studies show triceps are 4% of your muscle, but quads are 30%.&quot;<br><br>Sounds like I need to work triceps 7.5x harder for them to catch up to my quads. <b>*gunshot sound effect*</b>

  Jeff the type of guy to jump on a trend for views but provide excellent data driven advice at the same time.

  When Sam was a beginner he said he watched Jeff Nippard, and he recommended that people watch him too. This is really cool, or should I say, fuckin amazing that Jeff Nippard is now making a video about sam.

  There’s fans of Sam who watch a video here and there, then there’s super fans who watch Sam everyday. Then there’s Jeff who watched every single set, wrote it down, then makes a video about it. Be like Jeff.

  As far as riding the &quot;Sam wave&quot; goes, this is one of the better videos I&apos;ve watched.

  I learn from Sam that I was not pushing myself hard enough through workouts and was undermining my strentgh, I don&apos;t push myself to failure but I appreciate seeing someone put their workouts out there for everyone to see it takes guts to do that!
