It’s not that high volume training “doesn’t work.” But I would say that: A) It’s generally not ideal for most people. B) Just because you CAN make gains on a very high number of sets doesn’t mean you NEED it. As long as enough time passes between sessions for recovery and growth to occur, you’ll still continue making progress. But it’s also possible you could have stimulated the same amount of growth with fewer sets. Or that you’ll see even better gains, since very high volumes often have you re-entering the gym before you’ve fully recovered from the previous session. More volume only equals more gains up to a certain point, and beyond that you’re mostly creating extra muscle damage and fatigue for disproportionately less growth. (Don’t get me started on “volume studies.” I put very little stock in those for reasons too numerous to explain here, but I’ll talk about it another time.) One of the main reasons people get better results with higher volumes is simply because they do
