I am doing only one set on many muscles and two sets on some. But I always train to failure.
Despite this I still progress in strength on every workout.
Low volume = king

Works for me. I did four sets of everything for the first 5-6 mos though. I think high volume is more effective for weak noobs: each rep is less mechancal work.

Low volume wins
>>
1 set

I cant stick to a diet on high volume routines for some reason, high volume training makes me insatiably hungry to the point where I gain bodyfat rapidly due to how hungry I become.

Low volume doesn't mess with my hunger like that

I have been doing the same weight and reps on lateral raises for like 2 years and my shoulders just keep growing. Progressive overload is for retards just grow your muscles

You are loser, bodybuilder. You don't care about strength but only looks. But you are weak like a girl.

Maybe you are moving arm faster than before?

yes

The "to failure" part must be the primary reason that people don't get visible results even though they lift X times per week for years.
For some muscles especially, pushing to failure is really not fun (eg core, I hate training core)

Studies say that training to failure is what grows muscles.

thats not what anon says though

What does "failure" actually mean? Form breaks down? Failure of the muscle to even move the weight?
>>
>>76681611
Failure means you lift until you can't move your limbs anymore, you can't lift the weight.
>>
>>76681611
When muscle fatigue has completely prevented you from practicing the exercise
>>
Low reps and low sets. To failure. Final training.

ok

Love low volume.

Form breakdown, you can't complete not even a quarter of the last rep. YouTube videos for some examples of failure reps faces
