>When you understand that volume is effort over time and not mechanical work it becomes obvious that oneproperlyperformed set involves a greater volume of exercise than most people's three to five sets.
When you understand that your muscles grow and shrink on a muscle fiber level this "Time under tension" concept falls apart.

If you are barely activating a muscle it doesn't matter how much time it is under "tension".
What matters is how much of a muscle you're activating while its contraction velocity is slow or even maximally slow like in an isometric.
>The difference between a properly performed HIT workout and most conventional normie workouts isn't the amount of exercise performed but how it is Divided and Distributed over time.
5 quality sets will always outperform 1 set, as long as you can recover from it.

Before steroids bodybuilders didn't train muscles once a week.
In the silver era the biggest bodybuilders trained muscles up to every single day(george hackenschmidt), in the silver era everyone trained muscles at least 2x a week and up to 7 times a week.

Training a muscle once a week isn't superior, and in fact it can never even be equal to training a muscle multiple times a week.
These broscientists don't understand how muscles grow, how muscle damage and CNS fatigue works, or how muscle activity overlaps in resistance exercises and as such mislead people including themselves into believing in false methods.

Myostatin deficiency in humans is overplayed and there is no evidence showing that competitive bodybuilders have some sort of polygenic myostatin deficiency compared to the average person, the main things that determine the ability to build muscle are:
muscle fiber counts
androgen levels
igf-1 levels

Flex wheeler had impressive structure for bodybuilding, but notice how he looked normal when in the first photo, you know... when he was natural.

If he never got on gear no one would know his name.
