Swap high-volume for quality

Coach schober222 says he abandoned 7-day, 30–50 set marathons and now trains 4–5 days/week with 8–15 quality sets, progressive overload, controlled eccentrics and a caloric surplus — and reports better strength and size gains (post drew 41 likes, 3.1K views). (x.com)

The account posting the program change is run by Bailey Schober, who publishes fitness coaching content on Substack. (baileyschober.substack.com) He operates a paid coaching site, Bailey Schober Fitness, which markets personalized programs and features an "Apply Now" call-to-action. (baileyschoberfitness.com) His Substack "About" page lists career personal records of a 620 lb squat, a 610 lb deadlift, and a 330 lb bench press, and it also notes he has completed marathons and triathlons. (baileyschober.substack.com) A YouTube video on his channel documents a nine-week biceps-tendonitis rehab that used slow eccentrics (3–4 second descents) and progressive loading from 5 lb to 30+ lb over the period. (youtube.com) A TikTok clip from his profile shows a client claim of adding 17 pounds of muscle while retaining visible abs, and his Fiverr/profile pages highlight combining endurance events with 600+ lb lifts as part of his background. (tiktok.com) (fiverr.com) His Substack profile lists more than 1,600 subscribers and an archive of training posts that outline programming experiments, and his X activity (including the program-change post) is tracked by influencer analytics services such as XBeast.
