Beter dan.
For example, if you expose your skin to the sunlight, you’re probably going to get a tan (“a training effect”). If you stay in the sun for one minute, you might not have done enough to constitute adequate “stress”. The body may not be forced to compensate because you haven’t overloaded it. If you stay in the sun for two hours, you’ll get plenty of “stress”, but it will probably be too much and you’ll likely burn. In this case, you haven’t managed fatigue properly.
More importantly, there is a wide range of possibilities in the middle. If you spend 15 minutes in the sun, you’re going to get one level of tan; if you spend 30 minutes in the sun, you’re going to get a different level of tan. In this case, time spent in the sun is our “volume” of stress and the level of tanning is the “magnitude” of the training effect.
In training, we can define volume in a variety of ways: the number of total reps in a workout, the number of sets, or we can calculate “tonnage”. Tonnage is nothing more than multiplying the total amount of reps and sets you’ve completed by the weight that you’ve used. For example, if you squat 405x5x5, you’ve accumulated (405*5*5=)10,125lbs of total tonnage.
In overly simplified terms, the more tonnage you accumulate, the bigger your training effect will be. That said, the more tonnage you accumulate the longer you will have to wait before you’re recovered enough to train again. As with anything, there is an optimal dose-response relationship.
Meer volume = beter. Natty/ niet natty maakt niet uit behalve dat een drugsgebruiker inderdaad meer aankan natuurlijk. Voor gebruikers zal de herstelcyclus een stuk sneller gaan waardoor ze vaker op hoge intensiteit kunnen liften dan natty's, maar een natty die intensiteit goed kan verdelen kan ook gewoon veel weekvolume aan.
