High volume training has been proven over the years to be very effective for increasing size. Countless programs such as German Volume Training popularized by top strength coach Charles Poliquin and EDT (escalating density training) developed by renowned strength coach Charles Staley support the benefits of high volume training for maximum size. Strongman legend Mark Philippi is also a fan of putting in some serious volume and intensity to increase size and strength rapidly. As effective as high volume training is, it is also very taxing and few can get away with doing too many high volume workouts. Especially true with regards to natural trainees with jobs, kids, bossy wives, needy husbands, moronic co-workers, idiot bosses, and other real world responsibilities. Moreover, lower volume work with a focus on maximum effort has also been shown to be very effective for increasing strength and often size as well. Just look at the success that people are having with Jim Wendlers 5-3-1 programs. Legendary powerlifing coach Louie Simmons also recommends a maximum effort day in which trainees work up to a max on a given exercise once a week. Finally, famous bodybuilder Dorian Yates had great success with lower volume intense training for serious size and strength. mikemahler/online-library/articles/kettlebell-training/kettlebell-barbell-solution.html.html
