The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
If you’re wondering if I do pure Mentzer 1 set to failure training, I’ve done that, but I also mix it up. Every 12 to 16 weeks I shift from doing low volume, although not 1 set only slightly higher volume (3-8 work sets per body part depending on what needs the most work), but never terribly high volume.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I will do four-month blocks of training heavier with the weights so that's in the 3 to 5 repetition range then another 3 to four month block will follow where I'm training slightly less heavy so I'll typically be using anywhere from 5 to 8 repetition range and then for the next four month block I'll be using somewhere between 8 and 15 repetition range
