Hi Scott

I have read a lot about volume and how important more volume over time is for progressive overload. However almost every program online does not increase volume over time.

For example:

In your PPL-program (first month) there is 20 sets of direct chest work in one week. Wouldn't it be more ideal to, for example, start at 10 sets of direct chesk work and then add more sets (volume) over time, for example two sets every two weeks so when you reach 20-22 sets of direct chest work (MRV generelly speaking for natural individuals) and deload (if you feel burned out) or just go back to 10 sets and then start all over again?

Wouldn't that be a great way to progressive overload over time in order to build muscle?

Thank you very much and have a good day :) 

@TheBigGuy1337 It can be beneficial to do that, but only if 10 sets allows you to grow to begin with. Also, my programs do include progressive overload with volume, because in every program you start off doing everything once per week in MONTH 1, and then increase frequency (and overall volume) by training everything twice per week in MONTH 2.

Another thing is to remember more volume isn't the only way to progressively overload - if you do the same volume, but lift heavier weights, that is progressive overload too - and that's always the goal with programs as well 😊
