Two Levers of Strength Training
Strength training comes down to two key variables:
- Volume (how much work you do)
- Intensity (how heavy the load is)
Both matter.
But they serve different purposes.
What Volume Does
Volume refers to:
- Total sets
- Total reps
- Overall workload
Higher volume helps:
- Increase muscle endurance
- Build muscle size
- Improve work capacity
What Intensity Does
Intensity refers to:
- Load relative to your max
Higher intensity helps:
- Build maximum strength
- Improve power
- Increase neural efficiency
Finding the Right Balance
Too much volume can lead to fatigue.
Too much intensity can limit recovery.
The goal is balance:
- Higher volume phases
- Higher intensity phases
- Proper recovery throughout
