No you’re trying to sound like you know what you’re talking about by being nit picky and technical.
You know damn well what people mean when they say high or low volume.
Literally no one says I’m gonna go from low to moderate or high volume and is talking about anything but increasing sets.
We are talking progressive overload. Increasing volume over time is exactly that. Wtf? This is literally how volume is equated and programmed. I'm not trying to sound a way about anything. Increasing weight over time is increasing total volume. That is why the bodybuilding community still has this dumb debate about "does progressive overload work"
We all do progressive overload.
If you took from my comments as some smart assery, you missed my point completely.
I guess being correct is being a smart ass?
Guarantee Schoenfeld would answer that. Weight x reps x sets equals volume. That equation is the key to progressive overload. This is written EVERYWHERE.
You are taught at the base of most fitness. Personal training criteria, powerlifting programming, any programming what the equation for volume is. The mix up in technology is because the bodybuilding really just started using these terms (progressive overload, rest pause etc.) that are actually principles, in the last 5-10 years. That's not my mix up. I'm referring to exactly what volume is and the constant confusion behind it.
It's the same problem we have with fucking macros. Guys catch a fit when they hear macros. It's not a diet. Volume is not a training style of difference. It's a measure of work.
