What is volume?

Volume in the context of resistance training describes the amount of output as a measure of each exercise. Volume is typically calculated by multiplying reps by set by weight lifted, and is a good benchmark to use when measuring improvement in performance, or comparing output while switching up amounts of weight and quantity of sets and reps. 

When it comes to weights think of volume as the total tonnage lifted, for other exercises it is harder to calculate volume but it helps to think of it as the intensity and frequency of each specific exercise.
