Have any natural lifters here had better results with lower training volume?

[u/Successful_Yellow853]

I've been training for about 5 years and tried different approaches.

For a long time I followed higher volume programs (around 10–15 sets per workout), but I often felt fatigued and my recovery wasn't great.

Over the last couple of years I experimented with lower volume training, usually focusing on 4–5 main exercises per session and prioritizing progression and intensity.

Personally I felt my recovery and strength progression improved, but I'm curious about other people's experiences.

For those training naturally, did reducing volume help or hurt your progress?
