Training volume question??
Had a conversation with my training partner yesterday after training and it got me thinking, at what point does a workout go from being low volume to high volume. What is that magic number that separates the two? I mean Mentzer did less volume then Yates, but both are considered low volume. What for you is that number that separates the two and why?
Looking forward to some good responses and maybe some worthwhile debate.

I would say below 15 work sets is low volume. This is what I respond to best, not a lot of volume or angles but some quality work in those sets. Above 18 sets I would say is high volume. I'm not on the juice yet though...

I would say total working sets of 16 to 20 is average, meaning anything below that is low volume and anything above that range is high volume.

volume should be indirectly proportional to intensity. the higher the intensity the greater the CNS is taxed so the lower the amount of volume there should be.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I don't think that there is a definitive answer.
Things like warm-up and cool-down sets make things
a bit more difficult to categorize as well.
But without a doubt I consider German Volume Training
high volume.
Don't most people consider Reg Park's 5x5 system high
volume?
