About this episode

In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris welcome their first-ever guest, Soren, the “67-set upper day guy.” Soren takes us through his upper-body workout exercise by exercise, explaining the reasoning behind some of his more unconventional setups.

Key topics include:

  • Soran’s 67-set upper-body workout and the philosophy behind training so many individual muscle functions
  • Modifying pec decks ad pullover machines to target different regions of the chest
  • Training the lats through sagittal, frontal, and scapular-plane movements
  • Direct training for the traps, scapular muscles, neck, and shoulder rotators
  • How Soren manages 67 exercises without spending several hours in the gym
