Is this fucking true?

no

Maybe I'd have to see the rest of it. I suspect some kind of semantic tangle though.
Like I do 2 sets*, **, +,¦
*it's actually 3 but 1 is a warm up, the middle could be to failure or not, but the last always is.
** that's on 1 of 2 exercises per group per session so realistically 6 in total if we're counting everything that involves moving the weight within 5 reps of failure and resting as a set
+ I don't do this all the time just when I'm between blocks of higher volume training
¦ drugs may be involved but this isn't about that this is about selling you on something I make money off of.
>>
No. If you're going to do 2 sets then might as well do a third, it only takes another 3 minutes max to increase your volume by 50%.

If you don't need 10 minutes of rest between sets, you aren't lifting heavy enough, sucker!

Per body part or exercise?

He’s most likely talking to advanced lifters that are capable of pushing themselves into only doing 2 hard sets. The average /fit/ browser wouldn’t know what to do and just do 2 sets of easy work and go home and watch hentai.

Please just start exercising instead of endlessly following and discussing e-celebrity. Exercise is no that complicated, you don't need some juiced up influencer telling you what to do and to buy his course. Listen to your gym elders and your friends on /fit/

I think it is.
On pull day for example, I do a single lat pulldown warmup set and then do 2 hard sets for each exercise.
It doesn't make sense to do a warm up set for bicep curls if you already activated your biceps during lat pulldowns

Also, what I've noticed if you do 2 actual intense sets, your third set will be shit, given that you only take 2-3 minute to recover, meaning that you already did enough during your first two sets.
>>
No it’s bullshit. It’s the equivalent of telling fatties they can eat jalapeño poppers all day and lose weight cause it’s keto. “You barely have to lift to get jacked bro”

They also just misrepresent what a set is. Their “warm up sets” are not a warm up at all they are working out. That’s the loophole these fucking grifters use to be able to say they only do 2 sets. They are doing several “warm ups” at heavy weights and high rep counts

>>77208897
not lifting at all* gets you even more jacked
*with roids
>>
>>77208897
1 set is king because you recover in 1 day.

Sounds like overtraining. On a serious note consider a twice per week AB split. 2-3 exercises at 2 sets each is about 8-12 sets per muscle group.
>>
If you can consistently progress aka add reps/weight on a exercise doing 2 sets why would you do more
>>
>>77209248
>1 set
that's way too much
>>
>>77208949
you are fat
