HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

WORKOUT OVERVIEW
Welcome to the HIGH volume workout routine! This routine is designed for those who are more
experienced, have tried lower volumes in the past, and are ready to increase the volume to continue
maximizing their gains. You should not be a “beginner”.
Your muscles will be trained with around 14 sets per week, which is well within the recommended range
that research suggests will maximize growth.
You will train 5 days per week using a variation of the “push pull legs” split.
Here’s an example of what your weekly schedule could look like:

MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY

Upper Lower
Rest Push Pull Legs Rest
Body Body

The exact days don’t matter, as long as you are getting at least 2 days of rest every week and aren’t
training the same muscle groups back-to-back without rest.
We have also created a free customized workout tracker specifically for the HIGHER VOLUME workout
routine! Click the button below to download and save a copy of the customized tracker!

HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

BARBELL BENCH PRESS

STEP 1

STEP 1 SETUP
Lie down on the bench and position yourself such
that your eyes are directly below the racked bar.
Use a medium grip on the bar that’s slightly wider
than shoulder-width apart. Pull your shoulder
blades down away from your ears and pinch them
together to create a small space between your
lower back and the bench. Firmly plant your feet
on the ground. Unrack the bar and bring it over the STEP 1
level of your shoulders

STEP 2
Control the weight down while dropping your
elbows down at about a 45 to 60 degree angle from
your torso. The bar should travel down and slightly
forward and touch your chest at the level of your
sternum.

After the bar touches your chest, push the STEP 2

bar up and back to the starting position with
your arms fully locked out. The bar should
travel up and slightly back as you do this.
Think about pulling your arms together
as if you were trying to touch your biceps
together to move the weight up.

STEP 2
ADDITIONAL TIPS

Avoid bouncing the bar against your chest at

the bottom position and use control to simply
touch your chest. Whenever possible use a
spotter, especially with heavier loads.

@JEREMYETHIER 6
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE
DUMBBELL CHEST SUPPORTED ROW
(MID/UPPER BACK FOCUSED)

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Set up an incline bench to an angle of about 30
degrees, typically the second notch up from
the bottom. Grab a pair of dumbbells using a STEP 1
thumbless grip and lay your chest on the bench
with your arms hanging down by your sides and
palms facing each other. Plant the balls of your
feet firmly into the ground with your legs fully
straightened or slightly bent.

STEP 2
To stabilize your body, bring your shoulders
down and away from your ears, squeeze your
STEP 2
glutes and flex your abs. Then, pull your elbows
back behind your body at about a 45 to 60
degree angle away from your torso. Squeeze
your shoulder blades together at the top
position.

STEP 3
Control the weight back down to the starting
position instead of letting it just drop. Let your
shoulder blades open up, reset, and then go into STEP 3
your next rep.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Think about pulling with your elbows each rep in

order to better activate your back.

@JEREMYETHIER 7
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

STANDING BARBELL OVERHEAD PRESS

STEP 1: SETUP STEP 1

Set up the bar in a rack such that it’s at the level of

your armpits. Get under the bar and grab it with a
grip just outside shoulder-width apart. Tuck your
elbows so that they align directly under the bar
with your forearms vertical. Lift the bar up off
the rack, take 3 steps back, and plant your feet
about shoulder width apart with your toes slightly STEP 1
pointed outwards.

STEP 2
Squeeze your glutes, flex your quads, and brace
your core. Take a deep breath in through your nose
and then exhale as you press the bar straight up.
As you do so, slightly tilt your chin back to avoid
hitting it. Once the bar passes your head, you can
tilt your head back forward back into its neutral STEP 2
position. Press until your arms are straight.

STEP 3
Inhale as you lower the bar by dropping your
elbows into a roughly 45 degree angle in front of
your body until the bar reaches the level of your
upper chest. Pause here briefly, re-stabilize your
glutes and core if needed, and then continue for
your next rep.
STEP 3

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Avoid bending your knees and using leg drive to move

the weight up. This is a different exercise. Instead,
keep this a strict press by only using your upper body
to press the weight up.

@JEREMYETHIER 8
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

LAT PULLDOWN

STEP 1: SETUP
Adjust the height of the seat or knee
pads so that your thighs are securely
locked underneath, with your feet flat on
the floor. Set your weight then stand up
and grab the bar with an overhand grip
just outside shoulder-width apart. Sit
back down with your thighs under the
pads. Tilt your upper back just slightly
backwards.
STEP 1
STEP 2
Pull your elbows down until the bar
reaches the level of your chin. Control
the weight back up until your arms are
almost fully straight, and then repeat for
another rep.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

To better engage the back muscles, you

can try using a thumbless grip and think
about pulling with the elbows rather than
with your hands. STEP 2

@JEREMYETHIER 9
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

STANDING HIGH TO LOW CABLE FLYES

STEP 1: SETUP
Stand between a cable setup with the
pulleys set at the highest position. Grab STEP 1
each handle, take a step or two away
from the cable, get into a staggered
stance position for support, and bring
your arms down and slightly in front of
your body with your palms facing each
other. You want to set up such that at
this bottom position, the line of the cable
is inline with your forearms and your
arm in line with the side of your chest. STEP 1

STEP 2
Set your weight, grab the handles and
get back into your starting position.
Brace your core. Control the weight up
while slightly bending your elbows until
you get to about shoulder height. Then,
using your lower chest muscles, move
your arms down and in together until STEP 2
they fully straighten. Think about pulling
your arms together as if you were trying
to touch your biceps together to move
the weight to better engage your chest.

STEP 2

@JEREMYETHIER 10
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

CABLE LATERAL RAISES

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Attach a handle to the cable and move it to the
bottom attachment. Face away from the cable
and reach behind your body to grab the handle
with one hand. Take a couple steps forward
and then a small step sideways towards the
direction of your working arm. You should STEP 1
end up with your hand by your thigh with the
direction of the cable headed back behind your
body.

STEP 2
Brace your core and squeeze your glutes. Keep
your arms just slightly bent and raise your arm
diagonally at about 15 to 30 degrees in front
of your body. Raise until your arm reaches
shoulder-height, control back down, and then
repeat for more reps. Switch arms after you’ve
rested for 30 seconds.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
STEP 2
To perform two arms at a time, grab the left cable
with your right hand and right cable with your
left hand. Turn so you face away from the cable
and take a few steps forward. While keeping your
arms just slightly bent, raise your arms into a wide
Y position in front of you. Raise until your arms
reach shoulder-height, control them back down,
and then repeat for more reps.

HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

BARBELL BACK SQUAT

STEP 1
ATTENTION: For the barbell back squat, since the exercise
is quite technical, it is recommended that you watch the
full exercise tutorial video. If needed, perform the exercise
regression included in the video first if needed before
performing the full barbell back squat.

STEP 1: SETUP STEP 1

Set a barbell in a rack at about the height of your mid-chest. Face
the bar and grip it with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-
width apart. Duck under the bar and place it over the back of your
shoulders, letting it rest on your upper traps. Lift it out of the rack
by extending your legs. Take one step back with one foot, one step
back with the other one, and then use a third step to correct your
stance into an even position. The optimal foot stance will vary, but
STEP 2
first experiment with a stance that is just outside shoulder-width
with your toes pointed outwards at about 15 degree angle.

STEP 2
Plant your feet firmly into the ground, pull the bar down into
your upper back, and engage your core. Take a deep breath in
through your nose, and then squat straight down by bending at
your hips and knees. As you do so, the bar should remain over the
level of your midfoot and the weight should be evenly distributed
between your big toe, your little toe, and your heels. Your knees
should also be bending slightly outwards in the same direction
of your toes. Continue squatting down until your thighs reach at
least parallel or slightly below. From here, while keeping your core STEP 2
engaged, exhale and reverse the movement by extending your
legs, thinking about bringing the bar up towards the ceiling and
exhaling as you do so.
When done correctly, the bar should make an almost perfectly
vertical path down and up each rep. Depending on your anatomy,
your torso may end up more vertical or more bent over than
others, which is normal as long as you’re following the tips and
avoiding the common mistakes.

ADDITIONAL TIPS: If you find it difficult to reach full depth,

you can try elevating your heels onto weight plates to help
with ankle mobility.

@JEREMYETHIER 16
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

A1. DUMBBELL ROMANIAN DEADLIFT

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Grab a pair of dumbbells, hold them by your sides, and
take a shoulder-width stance with your feet pointed
slightly outwards at about a 15 degree angle.

STEP 2 STEP 2
Contract your abs, take a deep breath in through your
nose, then descend by pushing your hips straight back.
Keep just a very slight bend at your knees and keep the
bar as close to your body as possible, ideally right above
the middle of your feet. As you descend, your hands
should move from a neutral position at your sides to
your palms facing towards you with the dumbbells held
horizontally in front of your legs. Lower the dumbbells
only until the point where you can’t push your hips back
without your lower back starting to round, usually at
knee level or mid-shin level.
STEP 2

STEP 3
Keep your core braced and then exhale as you reverse
the motion by pushing your hips forward and then
rotating the dumbbells back into the starting position
by your sides. Once your legs are fully straight, repeat
for another rep. Spend about 2-3 seconds on slowly
controlling the weight down, and then about 1 second to
bring the weight back up.

STEP 3
ADDITIONAL TIPS

To better engage the hamstrings, you can think

about pulling the floor back with your heels as you
come up.

@JEREMYETHIER 17
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

A2. SEATED LEG EXTENSIONS

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
STEP 1
Set up your back rest so that when you sit
down, your knees are aligned directly beside
the pivot point of the machine. For most
people, your knees should end up just past
the edge of the seat. Next, adjust the height of
your foot pad so that when you’re seated, your
legs are at a roughly 90 degree angle with the
pad resting just above your ankle.
STEP 2
STEP 2
Grab the handles on the side of the machine
and pull up on them by engaging your lats.
Brace your core, and then while keeping your
toes pointed straight up, use your quads to
extend your legs straight forward. As you do
so, keep your knees facing forward rather than
rotating them in or outwards. Extend as far up
as you can, pause briefly at the top, and then
STEP 2
control the weight all the way back down to
the starting position and repeat.

@JEREMYETHIER 18
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE
WALKING LUNGES
(QUAD-FOCUSED)

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
With a pair of dumbbells held down by your
sides, stand straight with your feet together.
Brace your core.

STEP 2
Take a step forward with one leg, plant the front STEP 2
leg, and then sink down into a lunge position
by driving the knee of your front leg forward
towards your toes. You should travel down and
slightly forwards. Continue descending until
your front thigh is at least parallel to the floor
and the knee of your back leg should be almost
touching the floor. From here, pause briefly, and
then extend your front leg to push your body
STEP 2
straight up with your feet back together. Take
the next step with the other leg and continue
alternating until you finish the desired number
of reps on each leg.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
STEP 2
Avoid relying too much on your back leg to push
the weight up. Instead, think of your back leg as a
kickstand for balance. Keep 80-90% of the weight
in your front leg, and just 10-20% of the weight in
your back leg.

@JEREMYETHIER 19
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE
STANDING WEIGHTED CALF RAISES
(BARBELL OR DUMBBELL)

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
You can perform this movement either using a
weighted barbell or with a pair of dumbbells in STEP 2
each hand. Grab a pair of dumbbells and place
your feet about hip width apart facing forwards.

STEP 2
Brace your core and then push straight up onto
your toes as far as you can, keeping most of
the pressure on your big toes. Then, control
your heel slowly back down until they touch
the ground, and repeat. Once you get good at STEP 2
this, you can progress it by adding a small 5 or
10 lb weight plate under each of your toes and
perform it on there. Once you get good at that,
you can use a larger weight plate or an elevated
platform for a greater range of motion. It can
be hard to balance so just be cautious when
performing this so you don’t fall over. The same
also applies if you were using barbells.

pulling your arms together as if you were
trying to touch your biceps together to move
the weight up.

DUMBBELL LATERAL RAISES

STEP 1
STEP 1: SETUP
Grab a pair of dumbbells and stand with your
feet about shoulder width apart and knees
slightly bent. Lean your torso forward about 15
degrees.

STEP 2
Brace your core. While keeping your arms just
slightly bent, raise your hands out in front of STEP 2
you. As you do so, raise your arms in a Y position
in front of you. This is about 15 to 30 degrees in
front of your body. Raise the weight until your
arms reach shoulder-height, control them back
down until your hands are down in front of your
thighs, and then repeat for more reps.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

To better help with muscle activation, you can try STEP 2

using a thumbless grip and rather than thinking
about raising the weight up, think about raising
the weight out as if you were pushing your hands
out towards the walls.

INCLINE DUMBBELL OVERHEAD EXTENSIONS

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Set up an adjustable bench to an incline
STEP 1
of about 45 degrees, which is typically
2-3 notches up from the bottom
position. Grab a pair of dumbbells and
lay your back onto the bench with your
arms straight over your shoulders and
palms facing in towards each other.
Brace your core, flatten your lower
back against the bench, and then while
keeping your arms straight, move them
back until they are parallel with your STEP 2
torso and lock them in this position.

STEP 2: EXECUTION
Keep your elbows locked and then bend
your forearms back behind your head
as far as you can. Extend your forearms
straight without moving your elbows to
get back into the starting position and STEP 2
then repeat for more reps.

CABLE PUSHDOWNS
(ELBOW FRIENDLY)

STEP 1: SETUP
STEP 1
Set a pulley to the highest height. Use two
rope attachments and pull them through so STEP 1
that the rope extends longer. Grab one rope
in each hand and take two to three steps back
from the pulley. From here, with a slight bend at
your knees, bend your torso forward about 30
degrees. Bring your elbows down to your sides
angled out just slightly and lock them there.
Your hands should be around the level of your
chest.
STEP 2
STEP 2
Brace your core, and then while keeping your
elbows locked in place, use your triceps to
extend your arms. You should feel as if you’re
pulling the ropes down and out apart. Keep your
elbows locked as you control your hands back
up to about the height of your chest, and then go
down for another rep.

(WEIGHTED) PULL-UPS

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Grip the bar using an overhand grip slightly
wider than shoulder-width apart. From here, let
your body hang and then begin stabilizing your
body by bringing your feet together, flexing your STEP 1
quads and glutes and contracting your abs. You
want to maintain this position as you pull.

STEP 2
Initiate the pull by first bringing your shoulders
down and away from your ears. Then, pull your
elbows down and back into your sides as if you STEP 2
were trying to pull them into your back pockets.
As you do this, think about trying to bring your
chest up towards the bar. Continue pulling-
up until your chin is above the bar. From here,
control yourself by letting your elbows move
up and out until your arms are almost fully
straightened, and then continue into your next
STEP 2
rep.

INCLINE DUMBBELL CURLS

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Set up an incline bench to just a slight angle STEP 1
back of about 60 degrees, which is typically 2
to 3 notches down from the top position. Grab
a pair of dumbbells and lay your back on the
bench with your arms hanging straight down
by your sides with your palms facing in and
your feet planted firmly on the ground.

STEP 2 STEP 2
Pull your shoulders down and away from
your ears and brace your core. While keeping
both of your elbows locked into place, curl
the weight up towards your shoulders. As you
do so, rotate your palms so that they face up
towards the ceiling at the top position. Lower
the weight back down to the starting position

STEP 2: EXECUTION
Brace your core, and then while keeping
a neutral grip on the dumbbell as if you
were holding a hammer, curl your hand
up and slightly in across your chest one
arm at a time. You’ll alternate between
arms each rep. As you curl, keep your
elbow locked in place and control the
weight all the way up and all the way
down until your arm fully straightens.
Keep your hand in the neutral grip STEP 2
throughout.

HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

STANDING FACE PULLS

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Move a cable to the top position. Using a double
rope attachment, grab the rope in each hand
with a neutral grip. Next, set the weight light
and take a few steps back away from the pulley.
STEP 1
From here, raise your arms so that they are
straight and directly facing the pulley.

STEP 2
Brace your core and squeeze your glutes. Pull
your hands towards your face, trying to get
the cable to the level of your forehead. As
you do so, pull back with both your elbows
and hands, such that at the end position your
arms are positioned in a “biceps flexing” pose
at a 90 degree angle with your hands directly
over your elbows. From here, slowly raise your
arms up into a Y position and then back down.
Then, straighten your arms back to the starting
position.

STEP 2
ADDITIONAL TIPS

If using a band, you would execute this the exact

same way, and simply use a wide overhand grip on
the band. The band will be quite challenging from
even just a few steps away, so position yourself
relatively closer to the band where there isn’t as
much tension.

HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

BARBELL DEADLIFT
For the barbell deadlift, since the exercise is quite technical, it is
recommended that you watch the exercise tutorial video. STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
We’re going to cover the conventional deadlift, which involves a fairly
narrow stance.
Start with a barbell on the ground. If you have access to big bumper plates,
load the bar with those. If you aren’t going to be using any weight or only
have access to smaller weight plates, either elevate the bar onto a rack,
weight stack, or any elevated platform so that the bar starts at about the
level of your shins.
Stand under the bar with your feet about hip-width apart and toes pointed STEP 2
outwards slightly. When you look down at the bar, it should be directly
over your midfoot. Get down to grip the bar by pushing your hips back
with a slight bend in your knees. Keep your back straight as you do so,
and continue lowering until you’re able to reach the bar. With your arms
straight, grip the bar with an overhand grip that’s about shoulder-width
apart, which should be just outside of your knees. Bring the bar as close
to your shins as possible and tuck your chin down to align your neck with
your spine by gazing at the floor just a few feet in front of you.

STEP 2
Stabilize your body by thinking about bending the bar in half towards you
by engaging your lat muscles, and then pull your chest up and hips down
to wedge yourself into the bar. From here, brace your core and pull the STEP 2
slack out of the bar by lightly pulling up against it and pushing your feet
away from the floor.
From here, while maintaining a straight back and keeping your chest up,
pull up on the bar while pushing your feet down against the floor. As you
do so, the bar should travel in a perfectly straight line up over your midfoot
and should be kept as close to your body as possible. Once the weight
passes your knees, drive your hips forward and squeeze your glutes to
finish the lift. From here, control the weight back down by first pushing
your hips back and then once the weight passes your knees, bending
your knees until the weights touch the ground. Again, keep the bar as
close to your thighs and knees as possible as you do so. You can choose to
either perform touch and go reps, just lightly tapping the ground with the
weights each rep, or you can choose to let the weights fully settle on the
ground and reset your form before going into the next rep.
STEP 2
ADDITIONAL TIPS
If you still have trouble with rounding your back as you pull, try
lightening the weight and also consider elevating the starting
position onto weight plates to shorten the range of motion. This
is especially helpful for taller individuals or those with certain hip
structures that make getting into the deadlift position difficult. You
don’t need to lift from the floor unless you’re planning to compete as
a powerlifter.

@JEREMYETHIER 42
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE
BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT
(GLUTE FOCUSED)

STEP 1: SETUP
First, pick what you’ll use for elevation. There are many
options available to you, so watch the exercise tutorial
video to make the best decision for yourself and the
equipment you have available.
Second, adjust your foot stance. To find the optimal
stance, sit on the bench and extend your legs straight
out. Where your feet end up is roughly where you want
your foot position to be. To emphasize the glutes, move
forward by an inch or two.
When your feet are set, they should be about hip width STEP 1
distance apart from each other rather than directly in
front of each other. Grab a pair of dumbbells if needed,
and get into the starting position. Start with your
weaker leg.

STEP 2
With the dumbbells straight by your sides, brace your
core and while keeping your lower back neutral, bend STEP 1
your torso over slightly. While maintaining this slight
lean forward, squat down and drive your back knee STEP 2
towards the ground. Continue descending until your
front thigh is at least parallel to the floor. At this point
the knee of your back leg should be almost touching
the floor and the shin of your front leg should be almost
vertical on top of your foot. Pause briefly and then push
through the heel of your front leg to drive your hips
forward. Continue until you finish your reps on one leg,
rest 1 minute, and then repeat on the other leg.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Avoid relying too much on your back leg to push

the weight up. Instead, think of your back leg as a
kickstand for balance. Keep 80-90% of the weight
in your front leg, and just 10-20% of the weight in
your back leg. STEP 2

@JEREMYETHIER 43
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

BARBELL HIP THRUST

For the barbell hip thrust, since the exercise is
quite technical, it is recommended that you watch
the exercise tutorial video. STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP
Grab a bench or any soft elevated platform that’s
about the height of your knees or shins. If needed,
put a pair of heavy weight plates behind it to
prevent it from sliding back as you perform the
movement. Next, grab a barbell, and load each side
with weight, ideally using the bigger bumper plates
STEP 1
if your gym has those available. If you’re new to this
movement, use just the barbell with no weight at
first. You’ll also want to use a thick pad or towel and
wrap it around the middle of the barbell for comfort.
Lay down with your upper back against the bench
and the bar sitting over your hips and your hands
holding the bar with an overhand grip just outside
your legs. From here, set your feet. You want them
positioned such that at the top of the hip thrust your STEP 2
knees are bent at a 90 degree angle and your shins
are vertical straight on top of your feet. Try a few
reps without weight to find the sweet spot position
for you. Once you’ve found the right distance, set
your feet at about shoulder-width apart or slightly
wider, with your toes pointed out at a slight angle.

STEP 2
Tuck your chin down and brace your core. Before
STEP 2
initiating the thrust, squeeze your glutes. Then,
while keeping your head and hips in a straight line,
continue squeezing your glutes as you push through
your heels to drive your hips forward to the top
position, moving the weight straight up. At the top
position, keep your core braced and pause for a
second or two while continuing to squeeze your
glutes. Control the weight back down by slowly
lowering your butt down towards the ground,
stopping at about halfway up from the bottom
position and then repeating for another rep.

@JEREMYETHIER 44
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

LYING LEG CURLS

STEP 1: SETUP STEP 1

Set up your foot pad and seat so that:

Your foot pad is resting slightly above the
back of your heel.
Your knee is positioned directly beside
the pivot point of the machine. For most
people your knees will end up just slightly
off the very end of the pad or just at the
end of it.
In the starting position when your feet are
in contact with the foot pad, your knees
should be slightly bent rather than fully
extended. STEP 1

STEP 2
Once you get the set up down, contract
your abs, and pull down on the two handles
beside the machine by using your lat
muscles. From here, while keeping your
toes pointed down, curl the weight up
towards your butt as far as you can. Once
you reach the top, control the weight
back down until your legs almost fully
straighten, and then go back into your next
rep.
STEP 2

ADDITIONAL TIPS

Avoid fully extending your legs at the

bottom position. The first 15 degrees
or so of the movement actually
involves more of the calves, so cut
the range of motion short slightly by
stopping each rep a little before your
legs are completely straightened at
the top position.

@JEREMYETHIER 45
HIGHER VOLUME WORKOUT ROUTINE

SEATED WEIGHTED CALF RAISES

STEP 1

STEP 1: SETUP STEP 1

Sit on a flat bench and elevate your toes
onto a pair of weight plates in front of
you set at about hip width apart. You
ideally want about a 3-6 inch elevation.
Grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them
on your thighs. At this point your knees
should be bent to 90 degrees with your
toes on the edge of the platform and
heels resting on the ground. STEP 2

STEP 2
While keeping your toes on the platform,
push straight up onto your toes as far as
you can, keeping most of the pressure
on your big toe. Control your heel slowly
back down to the bottom position and
then repeat.
