Volume vs Intensity

Описание: Volume vs Intensity: The Truth for Muscle Growth

A lot of people ask me — Bro, what’s better for muscle growth: volume or intensity?

Here’s what I’ve learned from over five years of consistent training


For bigger muscle groups like chest, back, shoulders , legs & even biceps and triceps, I’ve seen the best results with high intensity — meaning training close to failure, around 10–12 reps, using heavy, controlled form.

That’s where I really feel the muscle working and growing.

But for smaller or endurance-type muscles like, calves, forearms, and even trraps, I’ve found that higher volume works better — more total sets, more reps, around 20–30 reps per set.
These muscles have more slow-twitch fibers, so they respond better to extra workload.

So the truth is — you need both.

It’s not about choosing one side.
Be smart with your workouts.
On heavy compound lifts like bench, squat, and deadlift, focus on intensity — push near failure, full effort.

Then on isolation or accessory movements like flys or lateral raises, go for higher volume and controlled reps.

And if you have lagging body parts, don’t hesitate to add some extra volume — even an extra 20–30 reps can make a difference over time.

Just remember: intensity doesn’t mean ego lifting. It means maximum effort with good form.

And if you’re training that hard, make sure you’re also giving your body enough recovery and nutrition to actually grow.
