As we’ve already seen, volume is the number of sets * reps * load used.
It’s often broken down:
Per exercise, per training session, per week, per month… And sometimes further.
What’s important to know is that the more work you do, the more fatigue you create, so the more rest you typically need.
This is why 5-6 day a week plans are normally not a good idea for most of us over 40.
We just don’t have the recovery ability we did when we were in our teens and 20s. Our energy goes into our jobs and families.
And it’s also why IF you’re going to train with this level of frequency, I recommend SHORT training sessions - 15 to 20 minutes a day - so you can recover.
