Each box in this grid is called a cell. âColumnâ A B C D E F G âRowâ 1 âCellâ 2 3 4 Spreadsheets can be created by hand, using paper and pencil, or created with a computer software program. In computer software programs, the columns are labeled with letters (A, B, C ...) and the rows are numbered (1, 2, 3 ...).
Letâs say youâre performing seated shoulder presses 3 times a week. You use 15 lb. dumbbells and do 4 sets of 12 reps each on each day. You can probably maintain the muscle mass you have now by only doing shoulder presses once a week, instead of 3 times. (!!!) However, you need to continue to do appropriate volume (4 sets of 12, maybe a little more) with the same intensity (15 lb. dumbbells).
1 If you were to train each muscle group 3 times per week, you would need to do about 4 sets for each muscle during each of those 3 weekly workouts. 2  Because your weight training frequency is high, you have to greatly lower the volume used in each workout to accommodate this frequency. Mission accomplished again. 2  If you were to train each muscle group twice per week, you would need to do about 6 sets for each muscle during each of those 2 weekly workouts. 3  Because your weight training frequency is moderate, you have keep your volume per workout equally moderate to match this frequency.
