With Science based lifting trending to less sets and reps, when will someone figure out 1 set 1 rep workouts? 2032?

The current studies point towards a positive correlation between volume and gains.

Mike Mentzer already figured out how to make gains with only 1 set. I think the bottom line is you've gotta try really hard and get as close to or at failure. The exact number of sets and reps matters less.

This is true but you literally will get more gains if you fail multiple times. It's just more stimulus and it's that simple. It's diminishing returns of course, but 1 set is stupid, and 50 sets is stupid. But 10 sets per muscle twice a week is proven to work really well for just about everyone.

For sure for sure, it seems difficult to truly reach failure on lower set counts. I think 10 sets per week per muscle is pretty safe but I think you can get away with like 6-8 sets per week so long as you are really driving the intensity. I only do shrugs and neck curls twice a week 3 sets per session for 6sets/week, but im still progressing them well because my 2nd and 3rd sets go til 1-0 RIR

It's been a downward trend for volume for about 20 years now. Do you not remember all the ridiculous stuff all the le science people like schoenfeld and israetel came up with? The stuff that is generally recommended today was considered low volume 20 years ago and would have been considered in the realm of HIT in the 70s and 80s. Even those two names I mentioned have drastically reduced their volume recommendations.

You don't need science to understand that the less intensity you train with the more volume you need and vice versa. This is common sense.

If you read the link on >>76329452 the author actually made a timeline of volume studies and the original studies done all found better hypertrophy or strength gains with more volume but the volume wasn't that big, something like 20 sets, and over time since the big majority of studies found a positive correlation between volume and gains, sport scientists started doing studies with more and more volume and found the higher volume to lead to higher gains regularly, so no, the science isn't pointing towards a lower volume approach.

>You don't need science to understand that the less intensity you train with the more volume you need and vice versa. This is common sense.
This is truth and common sense too, but it isn't the claim that is being made by so called big volume proponents.
The claim being made by "big volume" is that there's a positive dose-response relationship between volume and hypertrophy, more volume tends to lead to more gains on average, which seems to be truth and is also very much common sense.

Another anon sort of said what I'm going to say but the type of exercise you are describing would be isometric. Muscle length remains the same and internal force=external force. This does not cause enough muscular damage to stimulate adaptation and growth as moving through an eccentric and concentric motion does. Isometrics are commonly used in therapy to teach people to activate specific muscles, which is way below our level of function as weightlifters.

So by this what are you trying to say? That if a study isn't done in a person with exactly your same conditions the study is invalid?
The fact that you listed a few, opposite situations if anything says that you believe that studies use different populations from each other, which would mean that if a large sample of studies with different populations obtain similar results that would mean that then the studies are showing that the things being studied apply to everyone equally.
Also, luckily I'm still in my 20s, not for long but I'm not a boomer yet, I also have an almost full head of hair, had some recession of my hairline compared to younger but still have what most people would consider a full head of hair.
>And/or is the sample size large enough to be statistically significant
The samples sadly aren't as large as the studies in other fields like medicine because sport science doesn't get as much funding.
>and/or are the results consistent and repeatable?
The results are consistent and repeatable for volume in particular, in fact there was a study that was a bit of a stand out and had statical anomalies so Greg Nuckols, the guy who published the volume article linked before, reported it to the publisher and the study was retired, showing that the studies have a considerable amount of rigor put to them because the fakes are found out.

if its so simples then why so few turn into advanced? Why so many are stuck in the early intermediate hole?
I dont want you to understand how motor unit recruitment works, but if you come to a thread where the main discussion is exercise science and think we are the wrong for trying to optimize something we are deeply invested then kys

The science of lifting is actually really easy, and people who find the science of lifting hard to understand are legit low IQ, at least 1 SD below average, the reason why people don't get to advanced is that they just don't put in the work, they aren't consistent, don't eat anywhere close to optimal and don't try hard when lifting.

i love how it's never crossed your mind that not everyone has the genetics to get into the elite category.
Your parents told you that you can be whatever you want in life. No two people are the same unless they're twins down to a T.

>So by this what are you trying to say?
That studies(plural) are useless because you can support any argument for how to train with some study or another even though the circumstances of the trainees are completely different, to the point it's almost useless information, and a TON of studies are done on untrained subjects who literally grow just from touching a barbell. If you can't deduce why, from a scientific standpoint, as in the scientific method we were all taught in school, exercise studies that get thrown around on /fit/ all the time are nigh useless, then idk what to tell you.

> I also have an almost full head of hair, had some recession of my hairline compared to younger but still have what most people would consider a full head of hair.
Weird flex, but okay.

>because sport science doesn't get as much funding.
because it's a joke and it's full of people who get a kinesiology degree and think they're a foremost leading authority in any field tangentially related to working out, see Dr. Mike "Rows work the tricep" Israetel. If they could design a decent study between them, they might get a grant, instead they project personal definitions on vague shit like "failure" and expect everyone to believe beginners/early intermediates totally did an RPE0 set, bro.

>The results are consistent and repeatable for volume in particular
Yes, doing more means more results, typically, but you can't just blanket apply "more is more" when talking about, say, max effort compound lifts where you'll damage more tissue than you can recover doing high volume. This is assuming the trainee is natty, there again a lot of these studies don't even differentiate.

As for "considerable rigor" applied to these studies, I've read enough to know it's a low bar when compared to basically any medical journal. Just because they don't let chimps write them doesn't mean they're good.

That's why metastudies exists, to analyze all studies and find commonalities, see pic related, for example, for a recent metaregression.
>and a TON of studies are done on untrained subjects who literally grow just from touching a barbell.
If you do a study on beginners and the study show better result in a group than other, then it doesn't matter if the beginners grow with any training because it's still showing a difference.
>If you can't deduce why, from a scientific standpoint, as in the scientific method we were all taught in school, exercise studies that get thrown around on /fit/ all the time are nigh useless, then idk what to tell you.
The studies have limitations and using a single study to change your whole training is retarded, but that's not what I'm saying to do.
>If they could design a decent study between them, they might get a grant, instead they project personal definitions on vague shit like "failure" and expect everyone to believe beginners/early intermediates totally did an RPE0 set, bro.
RPE0 is easy, it's RIR 0 what you were trying to say.
Also, many studies go to failure when the lifter can't lift any more, going to failure isn't complicated to do, really.
>Yes, doing more means more results, typically, but you can't just blanket apply "more is more" when talking about, say, max effort compound lifts where you'll damage more tissue than you can recover doing high volume.
I agree with you here, and basically everyone else does, that's why nobody recommend to do as many sets as physically possible, but the point of overtraining is higher than what the low volume crowd says.

>>76331208
All the studies point toward more and harder work being better for gains so science isn't providing a shortcut.

just do whatever with your training bro! so tough!! dumb fucking take. Those who become advanced are usually the ones obsessed with it, people who try and tweak their programs, always trying to learn more, not the 'bro' that just lifts. Lifting per say is easy, pick a barbell do some reps go home and eat healthy, but knowing how to program and deal with plateus is not.

It's literally just contratianism at this point. It's because certain clowns got BTFO'd on stretch-mediated hypertrophy, and those same clowns tend to also advocate ultra-high volume (20+ sets).
So people see that and go to the opposite extreme with sub-10 sets.
But anyone whose not retarded knows what we've already known for decades: that the optimal range is 10-20.

Doesn't need a million studies, we already know how to deal with plateaus and how to program, but people follow the grifter-of-the-week training programs thinking they're gonna get as big and shredded as their favorite fake natty influencer.

Missing the forest for the trees, bud. The point is that the info is ONLY good for absolute beginners, but it's extrapolated to apply to everyone else as well.
>The studies have limitations and using a single study to change your whole training is retarded, but that's not what I'm saying to do.
Obviously, and you're not everyone on /fit/, I'm talking about people who base their influence (jeff nipples, ect.) on the "science" and make a living doing it, on top of everyone who just parrots the same info.
>RPE0 is easy, it's RIR 0 what you were trying to say.
I was actually trying to say RPE10, but I made a typo

>All the studies point toward more and harder work being better for gains so science isn't providing a shortcut.
No, it's providing hope for an "optimal" way, and people will invest to the point of leaving gains on the table if they were just consistently training with tried-and-true methods instead of chasing these optimal training techniques and exercises that their favorite science based influencers tout.

the biggest irony of this all is that i can see science-based lifting working AFTER YOU'RE ALREADY ADVANCED and you need to squeeze out every bit of progress that you can. but when you apply this as a beginner/intermediate, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Pretty much, and I don't think that's a bad thing to try out optimizing the minutia when you've made 99% of the gains you'll ever make in your life, but beginners/intermediates are wasting their time if they're not doing the basics with progressive overload over the course of several years.

The human body does not allow you to activate all your muscle at once. Even pro powerlifters are only using ~30%, and that's with a warmup beforehand.
