Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Jeff Cavalier says training volume is killing your gains. Is there any truth to this? Timo Gamer: I m doning about 12-14 sets per muscle group per Workout (for the big musclegroups. I m training 6 days per week with a Push/Pull/Leg split and i dont have any problems with being tiered or having big lose of strength but I m scared of doing to much. So should I decrease the Volume? (I started training 2 and a half years ago)

People focus too much on numbers and never train on listening to the body. Since breaking away from how things look on paper I've made good progress really trying to perceive my body's response to lifting. The perception was subtle at first, but it became more and more noticeable as time went on.

Problem with these studies is that they dont incorporate recovery. Most people dont do too much volume, they skimp on recovery. Either way, it is fun to see Jeff analyze Jeff. Jeff Cav just released a program with CT, maybe the two jeffs can get together.

Jeff what do you think would happen if I followed somewhat of a lightweight workout with high volume, using about 10-20% of my max on that muscle with 20 sets twice a week really working on a mind muscle connection with each rep.
reply

What about a person that has been on elit level of training (running) and trained about 10-12 sessions per week for 4 years? Should that person go down to only 10-20 sets per week when that person is used to so much more volume?
reply

Sounds like the study proved that beginners need less volume to make progress and have poor recovery from excess volume. I wonder if they control for nutrition and adequate protein intake over the course of the study.
reply

As an ultra runner I've no interest in looking and being bulky like most gym bids like. I keep my volume higher in the 15-20 rep range and it's worked for over a year for me working out 3 times a week as normal
reply

Only three seasons a week training in a split (ppl) style likely is what lead to these poor results. Jeffs point is mostly that many people care so much about volume they forget about overload.
reply

I do 18 sets a week for each muscle. 9 sets for 3 exercises per workout. I've only been training for 6 months but I can handle the volume well I'm only really sore the day after. Works well for me.
