Training Volume

Training volume in this context is defined as the number of hard sets. A hard set is defined as a set performed within approximately five reps of failure. Sets of up to 10 repetitions are prescribed for this exercise. The drill should be performed for the prescribed sets and repetitions. The threshold of within five reps of failure is described as the commonly accepted boundary for a challenging set in resistance training. The article does not specify a fixed number of sets or repetitions beyond following the prescribed amount. The cited comparisons controlled for volume to isolate the failure-versus-non-failure variable. Correct performance depends on maintaining the position, breathing, and straight curl path.
