The document provides recommendations for setting training volume over multiple weeks including minimum, maximum and optimal set and repetition ranges for different exercises and muscle groups. It also includes a sample full body training split with specific exercises for each body part and day of the week.

The guidelines recommend starting with a minimum volume in the first week and gradually increasing the volume in subsequent weeks by adding 1-2 additional sets to exercises. It suggests aiming to be within the minimum effective volume to maximum adaptable volume ranges and progressing weight used when able to complete all sets with the recommended 1-3 reps in reserve.

The sample training split involves working the main muscle groups over a full week. It includes exercises like flat bench press, rows, squats and hip thrusts for the main body parts on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule. Accessory exercises like curls, calf raises and abs are also included.
