Training Volume for Muscle Growth: How Much Is Enough?
A simple volume range that drives growth without burning you out.

Most lifters grow best with 10–20 hard sets per muscle per week. Start lower and add only if recovery is good.
Practical approach
- Use 2–4 exercises per muscle group.
- Track weekly sets rather than daily.
- Deload if performance stalls.
Progress comes from consistent, repeatable volume.
