Which is optimal or depends on your goal etc etc...calling "masters"
High frequency
Low volume
VS.
Low frequency
High volume
Matagal tagal na din tong bumabagabag sa isip ko e ehehe.. ako kc more on frequency type tlga ang training ko..feeling ko kc pag High volume parang bitin ako kc ang konti ng exercises pero yung volume nakaka loka like 5x5 although pag sa compounds like deadlifts,bench and Mp press sa volume ako nka focus. which is which??? or should I say pag High volume more on strenght building and kung High frequency is more on hyperthropy tama ba ako mga masters???TIA :P

about sa question mo anu ba ang priority mo? strength ba or physique?
kung strength obviously you'll need to focus on low volume and training within 70-90% of your maxes. Pag nag stall ka dun you may also opt to use the high frequency low volume approach (like the smolov program). Another option is doing the westside/wendler approach by having both high volume (Dynamic effort) and Low volume (Max effort) on separate days within the week.
Kung physique naman usually nakafocus sya from mid-rep range to high volume, pero to be able to maximize yung pump and growth eh you need to be able to establish a "strength base" in order to lift heavy ass weights (well not as heavy when you're doing strength training) since growth is being triggered by putting heavy tension to your body. in w/c we go back to strength training first before physique training.
ok din ang 5x5 kahit cutting though mahihirapan ka mag increment kung magka cutdown ka masyado sa pagkain. Or another option mo din is mag wendler 5/3/1 ka while on cut though you'll have to do a bit of math hehehe.
