Volume or HIT? Yes, I bought it up.
beakdoctor:
Do whichever you enjoy the most.
Your body will respond to stimulus.
The problem with HIT is it's mostly bro-science. Sure it sounds great in theory. But that's where it ends.
It's actually demonstratably true for Cardiovascular exercise. HIIT works for cardiovascular. Lungs and heart. VO2 max . But the same is not true for hypertrophy OR strength. Muscle growth and muscular strength don't follow the same pathophysiology as cardiovascular improvements.
You certainly can respond to HIT for muscular development but, ironically, it's not necessarily optimal.
Also if you're drug free and not planning on becoming a bodybuilder, it doesn't matter. Your potential will be reached within a few months.
If you're older work smarter, lighter weight, full range of motion, controlled movement, little rest between sets.

People don't want to accept the natural training potential fact you stated. They want to believe in endless growth.

One set eh? Sure, if you already put in years of training and taking roids so you can generate the intensity needed, and if you want to end up with injuries like Yates and methzer did.
Sorry, Arnold's methods evolved from earlier proven methods such as the 3x10 and 5x5's used by natural trainers. Arnold evolved it to 6 x10 and 6x6 to give a moderate weight routine with short rests between sets and a heavier off season routine with 2 minute rests between sets.
Now today, science has proven that chasing the pump forces the muscles to their size limit and then cause recruitment of satellite cells which results in more muscle fibers to pump up.
NO one is going to get 20" biceps doing one set of barbell curls.....so get real.

All the bodybuilders from 1890 to 1975 trained with volume not because they used trial and error and proved their program's effectiveness but because they weren't geniuses like Mentzer and Jones. ::)

Exactly. Hit sucks.
