After about 15 years of lifting and ''research'' I've come to the conclusion that I don't know anything. I've tried everything and it all seems to kind of work until it doesn't work at all and you actually start losing progress.
I've made most of my progress by not lifting and half-assing workouts. I'll just not be able to do 50% of what my workout should be, I am just not feeling it, don't have willpower and muscles feel week. Then randomly I'll break my PR easily.
Fitness science is a meme. The only hard proven science is steroid use. Everything else is completely made up shit, tests with coin flip results proven immediately false by the next shitty study that says the opposite.

it's called less junk volume. the better and more knowledgeable you get, the quicker you can stimulate your target muscle without having to do additional sets. people who start with 4-5 sets gradually do 2 to 3 (usually 3 during prep) hard working sets. ppl who say something like less exercises = more progress without basis usually don't know how to actually lift

About 2 years ago.
Short story.
Always been the kind of person who commits 100% and just does something until it breaks them hockey, track, skateboarding, lifting get good fast then just break and keep coming back to it breaking again. My coaches were all kind of shit though. Learned various formulas for expanding long distance running started using those. Noticed there's kind of controlled peaking. Like where you have maybe 2 days a week where you're really pushing your limits and the rest is pretty easy stuff. Tried it with lifting with a kind of HIT style every 5 day. Workouts between those are just easy stuff no to-failure sets no low rest set just do enough work to ensure slide back is not occuring but on those HIT days absolute all out. What you know it worked.

Now I know about things like HRV and can just vary my training based on that and keep progressing it just kind of shows me the big picture of fatigue and recovery because left to my own devices I'll just break myself again. This has just been crazy productive lately.

Less number of exercises means it's easier to master them and overload
