???
Heavy singles build max strength volume builds the base
Volume is where most actual strength gains come from
Singles are more skill practice than muscle building
If you only do volume you might struggle with max attempts
Best programs rotate between both.
Singles improve confidence under heavy weight.
Volume builds muscle, muscle supports strength
Smart lifters periodize both instead of choosing one
Strength is built with volume expressed with singles
Too much volume without intensity no peak strength
Singles are great close to competition or testing
Volume keeps joints healthier long term
