I've never read about, seen nor heard of anybody doing the volume you put in. .

So Arnold does 300 reps/workout per body part and DW does 700.
Also- 33 reps on leg press for 6 sets? Unheard of volume, at least for me.
I don't think it's much use then, for most of us, to compare our volumes to current or former Mr. Olympias.
I wasn't using the term correctly, my mistake. I guess I meant number of reps.
The more pain from pumping blood into the muscle the more you are going to grow. How do you think girls get better quads and leg development than men, they do alot of volume with lighter weight
Doesn't your strength go up while on a cycle ?
If your strength goes up and your pushing more weight , even if you do the same amount of sets , reps, and time under tension , your volume increases because 'weight moved' is part of the equation in calculating total volume.
225 lbs x 10 total sets x 10 reps = a volume of 22,500
235 lbs x 10 total set x 10 reps = a volume of 23,500
so if everything looks exactly the same with sets and reps , but strength goes up just 10 pounds is all , you get 1000 pounds of more volume.
so if your strength goes up at all while on cycle, then so does your total volume
being on an AAS cycle increases your MRV (maximum recoverable volume) . your strength goes up and your recovery goes up (this is a physiological fact , and reason why we use AAS). so again, even if your workout looks exactly the same on cycle or off cycle , the 'volume' and 'recovery' are changed none the less.
Exactly man ... it realy is the overall volume and time under tension that seems to do it . Those high reps fill the muscle with blood . makes it feels like its going to explode . This is why for legs specificly i hit super high reps , the pumps on the leg press are surreal . Also i never realy go ever under 10 reps per set . ever . only recently that im trying to get my bench up to repping 315lb for 4 sets of 10 ( my goal ) ... that ill do sets of 8 ... but if i drop under 8 for that exercise ... time to grab a lighter weight ... and this applies for all exercisesI recently went from 3-4 sets of 6-10 to 5 sets of 15 per exercise. I feel it's been effective. I'm thinking of increasing the volume even more.
Even though I've been at this for many years and was strong and big in my 20's I'm still learning. I don't think I went over 12 reps ever early in my lifting career. Maybe 3-4 sets. That. seems to be the mindset of a lot of people.
High volume/reps is probably less popular because ego lifters can't "impress" people with heavier weight. I'm 36 now and training at a university gym while stateside. I'm bigger than 99% of the people there (I've got years on all except for a few grad students) and I don't give a fck if some dude who weighs 165 is pushing more weight than me. Before I always thought it was suspicious when a huge guy was working less weight than me for high reps. Like I said, still learning a lot.
Lookin John Cena-ish man good shit
315x10x4?! Goddamn dude whats your max at right now???
