I like rpe better for powerlifting and mev/mrv for bodybuilding. I wouldn't mind a mev/mrv calculator so I know when I'm hitting a "wall" or doing well.

Volume proponents expect every experienced lifter to detrain. If you can lift a weight to failure for 12, 8, 6 reps for hypertrophy 1 x a week they will tell you to lower the weight and do 15, 10, 8, 6 reps never to failure for three times per week. As an experienced lifter I've found that doing submax reps in the hypertrophy range, but lifting more often or for more sets sub max sets, doesn't lead to growth and causes burn out and lack of motivation. If you know you can hit a lift for 10 reps to failure and don't get to do so because you need to save your energy for more sets and more frequency, that just sucks. I want to hit that weight for 11 reps then 12. I wish volume proponents would discuss how a person who has put on a reasonable natural amount of muscle in 5, 10, + years is supposed to move to a volume protocol. Lower the weight? Lift more? Pack on muscle? I've tried it and it didn't add more muscle and caused de training and weakness, and lack of motivation plus repetitive motion pains (elbows, knees, etc). I'm just not seeing it.

nice touch on that volume topic.. like the reps goal with les sets!

It very much depends on who you mean by "volume proponents". If you're talking about the one mentioned in the video (Dr. Israetel), then his advice would be very different from what you described.
