“Maximum recoverable volume (MRV), is the most training volume you can do in a program and still make a recovery, and benefit from.” – Dr Mike Israetel, RP Strength & Juggernaut.
What is volume?
volume is how many sets or reps, increase the volume is increasing the amount of sets or reps you do(progressive overload)
Why should I care?
If I perform German volume (10sets of 10reps) on squat and couldn't move for 6 days, do you think it is beneficial or detrimental?(hints: hit a wall or overtrain).
Especially for natural athletes. That's why I don't buy the idea of throwing a cookie cutting program like typical bro splits or German volume randomly to a client.
So what now?
To truly make the most out of your training, we need to ideally be working right at the limit of our MRV. Training far below that value will mean that we are not making the most effective use of our time, and training above that value means that we’re risking fatigue, or worse injury.
For example my legs keep on growing but my upper body is falling behind. So my next program should be finding the MRV for my upper during my off seasons.
