1-MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE VOLUME

Maximum Recoverable Volume or MRV as it will be referred to from now on is the most training that an athlete can effectively recover from and this could vary widely from lifter to lifter or for the same lifter at different times. Genetics, particularly muscle fiber type, will play a big role in MRV and somewhat counter-intuitively, the faster twitch athletes who are better suited for lifting, will tend to have lower MRVs because they will be able to cause more homeostatic disruption with a smaller amount of work.

As an athlete improves over their career and continually build special work capacity for their sport, their MRV should be continually rising.

Other things to consider when assessing MRV is the athlete’s sport background (A CrossFitter will probably have a higher MRV then someone coming from Sprinting)
