Thanks for the response. Of course there are no true answers but what do you think? Is one or two sets to failure doing dips with attached weight or is it more productive to do 4 or 5 sets of 10 full range perfect reps?
From my own & the many years of training / being in different gyms
Being involved/ helping others & looking at other sports
The ‘Volume’ approach of x number of sets & reps is the most widely
Used & Productive way to muscular growth.
1 set to failure does logically make sense - it just doesn’t seem to work & is fraught with far
More dangers / risk of injury.
Who would risk going into a gym and loading their maximum weight for x (8-12) number
Of reps say 500/600lbs+ onto the squat bar & perform 1 all out set - how long would it
Be before you got a injury.
Once you start doing ‘warm up’ sets it becomes volume training
Not 1set to failure.
Also why not 1set of 1 all out rep with maximum weight.
There are just so many variables to factor in when it comes to training & creating muscular growth.
IE- Genetics / mental attitude/ intensity/ food intake / recovery time / daily stress levels / sleep etc
Let alone PED’s.
