Total Volume V One Rep Max
Post Body

What is the better measure of progress from workout to workout. Eg.

Youโ€™re working in a set range of 8-10 and push 40kg x10 for 3 sets = 53kg one rep max with 1200kg total volume. As you met the upper limit of your set range you increase weight by 2.5kg to 42.5kg but only manage 8x3. Your one rep max remains 53 but total volume down to 1020kg. Have you made progress when the one rep max is the same but volume is down even though you increased weight? Just an example but sometimes one rep max is up but volume is down, sometimes volume is up but one rep max is down.

Wondered what people class as more important workout to workout, total volume or one rep max, increase in weight or something else?

man just do the same workout after workout just add 1 rep per set if you can and when you surpass the rep range just add weight till you do the same reps as you started before
