I do want to hear what you think optimal training is for most people not using drugs. Is it training a body part once a week? Could it be twice or even three times? What rep range is best? How many sets and exercises per body part? Is your answer everyone needs a different protocol?
Here you go coach. With limited parameters this is what you have. You have a 25 year old running back who played college ball and he graduated. Great athlete but no where near NFL potential. He supplemented his football and sprint training with a very consolidated lifting routine that concentrated on the power clean, bench and squat. He threw in some curls for the girls. He generally did something like 8 reps, 6-4-2-1 on the heavy lifts. His lifting was a supplement to his priority of football training. He's very strong and explosive both innate and acquired.
Now his goal is to just concentrate on how he looks as he works on his career. His potential is undeniable but has zero plans to ever compete in bodybuilding . He is built but wants to take it further. What split would you put him on? How many exercises per body part? Would the rep range be 6 to 8 reps? Would you go higher like 8 to 12 reps? Would you cycle the training with different training protocols through the training year? The guy works 40 hours a week with an hour commute each way. He has a social life and girl friend. How would you advise him? Seriously, I'm not busting your chops. What would you tell him?

You didn't set me up at all. I've stated facts about the one set gimmick which you have admitted not to have read those facts because it will prove that you have wasted all those years on an inferior training method while leaving many gains on the table. Too late now I guess...😆

a simple answer would be it depends on your other energy expenditure, if you for example are running like you post then recovery must be lower for weight training..so you use 1 set training.

The whole one set training is a joke. Never in 50 years has it produced a champion after a champion after a champion. It's a marketing scam conjured up to sell to lazy ass yanks. Nothing more.

Works great for maintenance though. Most who train with weights will never compete.
