thanks. but still lost on wut u mean by the werd volume? u mean how heavy i lift?

Volume as in total overall workload. IE, an emphasis on total amount of sets and repetitions with a lesser amount of intensity (percentage of 1RM).

Strength (power, speed, and explosiveness) training would be on the opposite end of the spectrum.

A loose example would be comparing two leg days. One starts off with 6-8 sets of 8-20 reps (volume, size) and the other starts with 2-4 sets of 3-8 reps (strength, power).

However, nothing is carved into stone, and beginner trainees should not train with insanely high amounts of volume.

Terms to familiarize yourself are,

Volume: total workload defined in a period of time, usually a single workout or a weeks worth.

Intensity: Percentage of 1RM

Frequency: Amount of attention any muscle is given within a specific period of time (a week, for example).

volume != intensity

assuming m=0.5 and s=4

a. 5x10x100lbs -> 50*([100/2.2*0.5^2]/4^2) = 35.511 // per 1 unit = /50 = 0.71j
b. 5x3x200lbs --> 15*([200/2.2*0.5^2]/4^2) = 21.306 // per 1 unit = /15 = 1.42j

V(a) > V(b) *volume
J(b) > J(a) *intensity

You really love to post shit hardly anybody understands eh

plz explain?

kinda self explanatory unless you're an imbecile.
output measured by joules, per rep higher via intense rep scheme, overall sets higher via less intense rep scheme

ty for trying i guess.

It is a VERY simple math equation showing you the comparison of volume and intensity....

Srs though.. I'm pretty sure I learned this freshman year in high school science.

dont understand bolded
