The 1980s ushered in a wave of fitness trends, from step aerobics and home workout videos to spandex and leg warmers. It was also a defining decade for bodybuilding and strength training.

As the fitness boom took off, so did national gym chains like Gold’s Gym and Bally Total Fitness, which catered to bodybuilders and strength athletes. The facilities were packed with Nautilus and Cybex strength machines, endless rows of dumbbells, barbell bench presses, and squat racks. During this era, high-rep, high-volume training also became a go-to method for building muscle, solidifying its place as a foundation of hypertrophy training. 

What Is High-Rep, High-Volume Training?

“High-rep, high-volume training is a training strategy that emphasizes a larger number of sets and reps to create muscular fatigue, thus creating specific metabolic stress, which has been shown to have positive outcomes in developing muscle growth,” says Marty Miller, NASM CPT. 

The strategy requires slower tempo controlled reps ranging between 12 to 20. This type of movement is used to increase the total time under tension with a specific focus on the eccentric (negative) muscular contraction. The sets should be between 4 to 6 per body part based on the individual’s training experience and the overall weekly training load.

“One key component that’s often overlooked is the rest interval between sets. To maximize the benefits from this form of training, it is critical to rest only 30-45 seconds between sets. This is the game changer!”

Why It Works

“The physiological benefits of this type of training will be an increase in muscular development (hypertrophy), increased muscular endurance, and maximized muscular pump and blood flow,” Miller adds. “High rep, high-volume training also stimulates the release of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), both of which are critical in enhancing muscle-protein synthesis. These benefits are initiated by the increased metabolic stress and cellular swelling, which triggers anabolic (muscle building) signaling.”

Miller also adds that the extended time under tension compared to standard training protocols increases mechanical stress on muscle fibers. This can enhance muscle recruitment and fiber breakdown, fostering optimal muscular development—especially when paired with adequate rest and proper nutrition.

The Importance of Rest and Recovery in High-Rep, High-Volume Training

“Muscular development does not occur in the gym,” Miller says. “During a workout, especially a high-rep, high-volume workout, muscles are specifically targeted, worked to the proper level of fatigue to create cellular stress, and micro traumas to the muscle fibers. This is a critical component to muscular development.”

To properly recover from this kind of training, Miller suggests honing in on the following:

• Sleep: Muscle-protein synthesis, or the process of repairing/building muscle, is maximized during sleep due to the increase in growth hormone. It is critical to try to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night, as sleep is when your body is in its most anabolic state. 
• Rest days from training: Depending on how the workout is designed, scheduling 1-2 days off per week from weight training will prevent overtraining while maximizing recovery. 
• Mobility and soft tissue work: Using foam rollers, massage guns, and stretching muscles that have the propensity to become tight will increase recovery, decrease soreness, and increase blood flow, all while potentially decreasing the chance of soft tissue injuries. 
• Nutrition and supplementation: It is critical to properly fuel the body with the right amount of calories, as well as micro and macro nutrients to maximize muscular development. Experts highly recommended speaking with a Registered Dietician to best determine the proper number of calories, protein, carbs, and fats that would be needed to meet your specific goals, and if this could be met from diet only, or if there are specific supplements you should consider adding to your daily routine.

The TikTok ban is looming ahead, but Mark Cuban might have a solution for social media users: Skylight. The new app, created by Tori White (CEO) and Reed Hermeyer (CTO), officially launched on April 1.

Cuban first put out the call on Jan. 14 ahead of the original TikTok deadline.

“So, I appreciate everybody reaching out to try come up with a TikTok alternative,” Cuban said in a social media post. “I would be open to investing a supporting anybody or somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the AT Protocol.”

The AT Protocol is also what powers Bluesky’s network and  “videos posted on Skylight can be seen and engaged with by users on Bluesky and other ATProto-based apps,” per TechCrunch. Users will be able to upload videos up to three minutes in length which is similar to the Bluesky app.

New features on the horizon include “support for sounds, duets, stitching, bookmarks, and playlists” and eventually more control for social media users on their feeds.

The availability of the app comes on the heels of President Donald Trump confirming that an agreement with ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, will be done by the April 5 timelier, according to Reuters.

“We have a lot of potential buyers,” he told reporters on March 31. “There’s tremendous interest in TikTok. I’d like to see TikTok remain alive.”

The media outlet noted on March 28 that private equity firm Blackstone might be making a minority investment in TikTok for U.S. operations only.

Skylight is currently available on the Apple App Store and is in beta on the Google Play Store.

Longtime Saturday Night Live comedian Kenan Thompson has no plans to exit the late night sketch comedy program, despite his 20+ year tenure. 

In an interview with Us Weekly published on April 1, Thompson said that when it’s his time to leave, it will be a mutual decision.

“When my badge stops working, you know what I mean? [When] I don’t have access anymore, that’ll tell you,” the 46-year-old said.

“It’s their environment to employ me at. You know what I mean?” Thompson, who first joined the show in 2003, continued. “So [if] they keep asking then and I’m more than happy to oblige, and as long as the audience continues to laugh when we do something new.”

Thompson marked his 20th season on Saturday Night Live in October 2023. While he’s taken on other roles, he has truly enjoyed his time on SNL. In an interview with People magazine at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet, he explained that the newness of each show is what keeps him hooked.

“It’s exciting like that. It’s really exciting to find new, funny things, especially when you’re further down your tenure,” he said at the time.

Saturday Night Live‘s most recent episode on March 30 was easily one of the most talked about episodes in recent years. The reason? Musical guest Morgan Wallen abruptly walked off stage at the end of the show. 

Thompson spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the viral moment.

“I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that. I don’t know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way,” he said.

“You see somebody before you get a chance to say hi or say good job or anything like that, they just dipping. I thought maybe he had to go to the potty or something,” he added.

According to Variety, there was no ill intent behind Wallen’s walk-off.

Britt Lower is used to playing a few different roles.

The Severance star who plays outie Helena Eagan and innie Helly R. revealed in an interview with Jimmy Fallon during her appearance on The Tonight Show that she juggled responsibilities in high school like marching band, cheerleading and playing on the high school basketball team.

“I grew up in a really small farm town, and that meant that everyone had to do all of the extracurricular activities in order to field all of the teams,” Lower recalled. “So I would often be playing basketball and then I’d go to speech-team practice and practice my original oratory in my basketball shoes. I was also a cheerleader, and at halftime of the football games, I would run and grab my trumpet and march with the marching band [while] wearing my cheerleading outfit.”

Lower, at the behest of Fallon, eventually picked up a trumpet for the first time since high school and delivered the theme song from Severance – relatively flawlessly.

But her performance wasn’t the only thing that caught the attention of the viewers. Dressed in a long-sleeve blue dress, Lower stunned the audience.

Fans of Lower’s and the show rushed to the comments section to share love for the actress and her “stunning” blue dress.

“Her dress is so stunning 💎✨,” one person said.

“Helly R <3,” said another.

“britt i hope you know how much you’ve bewitched our souls 😭,” added a third.

Severance seasons one and two are streaming now on Apple TV+.

Derrick Henry continues to defy Father Time — or at least the NFL’s version of it for the running back position. The 31-year-old has quieted those who believe that running backs hit a decline at age 30 by continuing his dominant play in 2024.

A recent clip of the Baltimore Ravens star getting in a ridiculous offseason workout is almost certainly one way he’s been able to continue to thrive ahead of his 10th NFL season.

Henry was spotted doing a sprint workout on a steep hill, but it’s not the type of workout fans will typically see on their social media feed. Henry’s uphill sprints also included footwork drills, resistance training, and much more, as seen below.

Henry putting in this type of work isn’t surprising; however, the fact that he’s doing so in early April, months before the new season, is eye-opening.

The Ravens star not only led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 16 last season at the age of 30 but rushed for 1,921 yards and averaged a career-best 5.9 yards per attempt.

Henry’s stellar season earned him his fifth Pro Bowl nod and, for the third time in his career, second-team All-Pro honors. He’s now led the NFL in rushing touchdowns three times (2019, 2020 and 2024) while leading the league in rushing yards twice.

While the Ravens ultimately fell short of their goal of winning the Super Bowl, Henry was excellent in the team’s two playoff games as well. He rushed 42 times for 270 yards (6.4 yards per attempt) and scored three touchdowns on the ground.

Following a lengthy, five-week hospital stay at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital while battling pneumonia, including moments where doctors say he could have died, Pope Francis is at home in the Vatican recovering and moving forward.

Now, things are getting back to normal, or as normal as things can be for the pope, who is still recovering and rehabbing. Francis doesn’t seem to be skipping a beat, because he’s been making some major moves in the Catholic Church as he slowly gets back to optimum health.

According to the Vatican, Pope Francis has approved the first-ever female saint from Venezuela. On March 31, Francis made way for the canonization of Blessed María Carmen Rendiles by approving a decree that recognizes a miracle attributed to her, the founder of the Congregation of the Handmaids of Jesus.

While the move has been approved, the Vatican has yet to announce a date for her canonization.

Catholic leaders in Venezuela actually asked for her canonization back in 1995, so the approval is a long time coming. She was also beatified in 2018.

María Carmen Rendiles was born on Aug. 11, 1903, in the capital of Venezuela, Caracas. She passed away in the same city on May 9, 1977.

According to Saint for a Minute, “One of the miracles attributed to Blessed Carmen’s intercession involved the healing of Trinette Durán de Branger on 18 July 2003.” They add that, “This miraculous healing played a significant role in the process of her beatification and bears witness to her continued presence and intercession in the lives of those who seek her help.”

In a release sent out on March with the news, the Catholic bishops of Venezuela said that Rendiles was born without a left arm, but her physical deficiency “did not prevent her from developing an exemplary Christian life.”
