How to Increase Training Volume

Increase training volume gradually and for a reason. The simplest approach is usually to add a small amount of productive work to a priority movement or muscle group, then monitor performance and recovery across subsequent weeks rather than dramatically expanding the entire program at once.

Volume can be increased through additional sets, reps or, in a different sense, load. Tonnage does not tell you whether the work was any good, so do not chase a bigger multiplication result.

If added volume causes performance to deteriorate across sessions, the added workload may exceed what you can currently recover from.
