Strength: What Is Training Volume?
Training volume is the total amount of work your muscles do in a workout.
Volume = Sets × Reps × Weight
More volume doesn't always mean more progress, especially when you're starting out. Building up gradually limits the risk of injury and overtraining.
5–8 hard sets per muscle group, per week, is enough to build muscle size and strength.
The main muscle groups
Chest, shoulders, upper back, lats, biceps, triceps, core, quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.
Remember
Five to eight hard sets per muscle group a week is plenty to build muscle and strength.
