Short YouTube dialogue (Romanian-titled) about strength-training philosophy: the speakers argue that very high intensity (training close to failure) is more effective than simply increasing repetitions/volume. SPEAKER A uses a dynamite-and-hammer analogy and a Mr. Olympia anecdote to claim intense, brief workouts can be more effective and even make trainees feel nauseous.

Let's say you could do 10 reps with. With a certain weight.
Yeah.
But you stop at 7 or 8. You don't go to 10 or 11. You go 7 or 8. It's not enough intensity. Oh, yeah, but I do more volume. It's not enough intensity. It's like if you have a stick of dynamite and you hit it with a pencil, it doesn't go off, right?
Yeah.
Why? The impact is not enough. The intensity is not enough. But you hit it one time with a hammer.
Yeah.
Boom. So I'm Mr. Olympia, the best bodybuilder in the world, and I didn't spend more than four hours a week lifting weights.
Come on. I spent more in the gym lifting weights.
Yeah, but you didn't train with me. After half an hour, you want to go home. Because it will be that intense and that hard. Trust me. I had guys train with me for half an hour, and they feel nauseous, they feel sick, and they want to go home.
