More is not better, better is better.
The problem appears when you give a volume and intensity to your workouts above your needs. To do this, let's get technical for a few moments:
- There is a term that is the MV (Minimum Volume) , that is, the minimum work you need for your muscles to go for a walk (with what it cost you to achieve it).
- On the other hand, we have the MEV (Minimum Effective Volume) , that is, the minimum amount of work to generate profits and adaptations.
- Then there would be the MAV (Maximum Adaptive Volume) or the job where the maximum profits are generated.
- Lastly, the MRV (Maximum Recoverable Volume) or maximum work you can handle.
If in your case you are focused on gaining more muscle, common sense will tell you that your training volume should be between the MEV and the MRV, and more specifically, close to the MAV. Remember that each one, depending on their individualities, has these parameters placed in a different position.
