Training glossaryFundamentals & measures
Training volume
Training volume is the amount of work performed, usually measured in sets per muscle group per week.
Also known as: Weekly volume
For hypertrophy, what matters most is weekly volume per muscle, not the sets of a single isolated workout.
Good volume is the amount you can sustain with quality and progression: too much without recovery becomes fatigue, and too little may lack stimulus.
