What is Training Volume?
What does training volume mean in strength training?
Training volume is the amount of hard work you perform, most often tracked as sets per muscle per week. It is one of the main drivers of hypertrophy because it captures how much meaningful stimulus a muscle receives over time. If you are not tracking it, you are partly guessing.
Key Takeaway
Training volume is a key driver of hypertrophy and is typically measured as sets per muscle per week.
Actionable Tip
Track weekly hard sets per muscle, not just how many workouts you do.
