Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

NOTE

**Ideal Volume Per Muscle Groups (9-18 Sets Per Week) **

The optimal volume for muscle groups per week is recommended to be between nine to 18 sets, considering individual variance. Falling within this range allows for adequate progress and room for adjustments. Factors influencing volume include recovery ability, lifestyle, exercise type, intensity, and experience. It is crucial to focus on finding the minimum effective volume for progress rather than pushing for maximum tolerance. For major lifts like squats and deadlifts, exceeding 18 sets per week is excessive, with the ideal range being around 10 to 15 sets for optimal results and recovery.
