Volume Thoughts - Pushups

[ckcrown84]

Hey everyone! So sometimes I think we, or I, take volume for granted and fail to really think about the consequences of the type of volume we do.

I am trying to wrap my brain more around two types of volume,

Volume 1:
High Sets / Mediumish reps. For example 20-30 sets of pushups at 15-30 reps. My sweet spot would be around 20.
I can do 483 pushups in 25 minutes, broken up around that range.

We therefore have a high amount of sets, with enough reps in reserve to be able to do more and more of those sets. My girlfriend for example did
140 pushups in 15 minutes rough average 10 reps per set

Volume 2:
Very low sets / High reps
Example today I did a series of low rest pushups (elevated to make them slightly harder) and did
50, 30ish, 25ish, 22ish, 18ish, 15,ish 12,ish done.

two very different approaches to high volume, am curious on how they differ fromo a recovery perspective etc
I feel like I am over simplyifying

I can personally say from a "sore" perspective "volume 2" above is about as equally painful as some of my volume 1 workouts.

Food for thought
