Drew -

Sorry, but I'm lifting proof I wouldn't be the puller I am now with a single set protocol. I have yet to train anybody who is better with 1 set than the 3-5 working sets and I do think NSCA is right on this one. That's over a decade on the platform and coaching drug free men and women as well as my own lifting.

You get what you pay for, in sweat equity. The years of PL and long hours in the gym are what paid off for me, without drugs, to be as well muscled, lean, and strong as I am, without resorting to drugs and other unsavory methods!

Quick fixes are just that. Sure, a newbie might gain on any program for a bit....but eventually they too have to put in the long hours to gain after the newbie gains are over. Lifting programs are by nature INDIVIDUAL and you adjust them to fit...but so far I have found NO lifter I thought would succeed on your suggestion. That's people wanting muscle gains and strength....

They say about Powerlifting - "IF it was easy, everybody would do it..." and "Why do we do it? Because we CAN...".

Even a cursory examination of the tv fat loss shows, the extreme workouts....they aren't doing one set, no lol. those people are doing HOURS of grueling workouts and strict dieting. If your 1 set was going to work, I'd say fat people would make a good choice for a trial! I'm sure they would welcome a 1 set workout rather than the brutal trainers repping them and sweat streaming from every chubby pore on national tv....!

John Cowell asked:

"Honestly, is there anyone out there who truly believes that a single
set protocol is superior to a multi-set protocol for strength, power
or hypertrophy gains?"

In most cases, yes, if for no other reason than it will produce similar
results with less time invested. Like many things, however, it depends on
the individual.
