Summary

When it comes to exercise and making progress in the gym - some of the most common questions from all levels amount to the same thing: How Much Is Enough?

A few weeks ago we discussed how the gains from gym sessions really peak at 3 days/week of intense exercise, with subsequent days bringing far smaller improvements.

This week we want to talk about volume in a single session. Does the same apply? Is there a point in an exercise where we have stopped making gains? Do we ever hit a point where we are wasting our time?

As always, the answer isn’t quite hard YES or NO. But let’s talk about how to ensure you are getting the most from your time and not inhibiting your own progress.
