Are You REALLY Doing Enough Volume? (Science Explained)

  • The article discusses the impact of different training volumes on muscle mass increases through a series of scientific studies.
  • Several systematic reviews and meta-analyses are referenced to explore the dose-response relationship between resistance training volume and muscle hypertrophy.
  • Studies suggest varying weekly set progressions can have different effects on muscular adaptations, implying more volume might enhance muscle thickness.
  • Research indicates that there's possibly a dose-response effect, where higher volumes of resistance training can result in more substantial muscle growth.
  • The article also reviews how the sequence of exercise types (single- vs. multi-joint) can affect the results of resistance training.
  • It mentions explorative studies on traditional training versus drop sets and modified German Volume Training programs concerning their efficiency in muscle hypertrophy and strength.
  • The article hints at the nuanced findings regarding volume, suggesting that increased volume may benefit muscle hypertrophy more significantly than strength enhancement in trained individuals.
