More Volume vs Better Structure

Core Difference
More volume increases total work performed, while better structure optimizes how that work is distributed.

More Volume Approach
Increasing volume without structure amplifies fatigue and recovery demand.

Better Structure Approach
Structured programming aligns intensity, recovery, and progression to maximize adaptation.

Why the Difference Matters
Structure determines whether volume produces progress or breakdown.

Key Takeaway
Structure multiplies the effectiveness of volume.
