Deep dives
Understanding Current Volume Models
Current volume models in strength training primarily revolve around the classic equation of multiplying sets by reps to quantify work done in a training session. The drawback of this approach is a lack of clarity on when to start measuring volume, whether at 60%, 70%, or 80% of an athlete's capacity. The author emphasizes that this model is overly simplistic and does not cater to the nuanced needs of athletes as they progress. To enhance training efficacy, it is essential to consider individualized variables such as training age and skill level in future models.
