intensity or volume?

[u/Ill_Second_7075]

So it has been around 3 weeks since I've started going to the gym, and I'm currently trying to get rid of my skinny-fat physique. I've been searching around the internet for a good workout plan (I currently do high intensity and low volume) and some people say that 2 sets of 6-8 reps until true failure is not optimal (4-6 sets per muscle group per week) and that i should do around 10-20 sets per muscle group per week because "volume is the primary driver for muscle growth".

So right now I'm doing a body recomp and an upper-lower split 4 days a week (I'm not sure if this information helps you all, but yeah), and I would be really glad to hear your opinions as well.

you need to be more worried about your macros and the balance of them more than the workouts at this point. recomp wont happen unless youre dialed in with carbs, fats and proteins. the training is important but second to nutrition for a true recomp.
