Is the 10+ hours/week more of a product of heavy lifting + rest, volume? Both?
Or to put it another way, did you ever up your workouts from say 3 days a week or 6 hours/week... and why?
Sort of a loaded question because I know the answer for myself will simply be "do what works for you"... but, curious anyway.
I look for ~5-ish sets per muscle group per day (of whatever I'm working on) and ~10-ish sets per muscle group per week. I look to do 8-12 reps and track religiously, and up weight once I hit 12. I have yet to spend weeks plateaued or anything (especially legs, where having an actual gym the past several months has helped a ton), and of course sometimes it's the opposite of just not feeling the extra reps .... but, I still go back and forth sometimes on whether it would be beneficial to up volume across more than just 3 days, especially while currently being limited to 60 minutes in the morning.
