I don't, hence my question. I thought you'd be the best person to clarify it for me, since you know what you meant by it and I don't. If you don't wish that I ask what I'm not sure of, then I won't ask next time. Thank you.thanks fadi, but I think goosey will know what I am saying.
I thought the subject matter was about muscle hypertrophy and/ or strength, and whether a method of one set or multiple sets application was the way to go. Based on that, I gave my answer. If the subject matter was about a topic other than what the application of one or more sets and which yealds better results, then in that case I must've missed it.
One set does NOT work if your goal is to be the best you can be, period. To say otherwise is to pretend one knows something the rest of the sporting world doesn't know, and that's either a sign of arrogance, or a sign of being so ignorant of real world results as to not even realise it
Andy, you wrote: " to state that single set work doesn't garner results is showing ignorance." I agree with you. In fact, I'll go a step further by saying that one doesn't even have to do a single set to garner results, when that's what's needed at a particular time. However my post where you've quoted me, and took way out of context, is not talking about that, but rather was focusing on the best achievements one can ultimately have if one chose between a one set or a multiple set protocol.
thanks fadi, but I think goosey will know what I am saying.
That's a matter of opinion and you're entitled to yours. So we'll leave it right here Andy thank you. I wouldn't want to waste anymore of your time or anyone else's for that matter. All the best, to you, and to everyone on Ausbb.Please elucidate on that last sentence Fadi, define achievement in relation to what?
To be the best you can in sport, you use so many words and yet you don't actually say anything
Yeah, as opposed to multiple sets performed sub maximally.
many American football clubs are moving into this direction as they know more time is better spent training and gym work is to prevent injuries and we know a strong muscle is a flexible one.
We know muscles are composed of thousands of individual fibers that work together but are also programmed to fatigue at different rates, there's definitely and ordering to the recruitment and that seems to be set, can't be changed.
so, what happens if, after several minutes of rest, you perform a second set?
Are different fibers involved (fast, intermediate, slow) ?
Neural pathways are important but isn't their job done when you've practiced a movement as in you're skilled?
most exercises required minimal skill.
Do you guys think that when it comes to doing high intensity short workouts that the individuals mental state, fitness level or their ability to work hard enough can be a limiting factor. Some people just cant work hard enough in the short workout to get optimal results and for them volume works better ?
The ability to work intensely is largely a product of the first two factors. Intensity is a skill that can be developed like anything else.
So based on that, would it suggest that these types of workout better suit those who have already trained for some time and developed that skill ?

Intensity is relative. What is high intensity for one person may not be for another. As long as you are training to what is a high level of intensity for your body it will work.
As you say, as we all say, it all works, I think that IF you decide to shorten a workout it has to become more intense as in the rate of "work" need to be harder but this cannot be maintained longer than 30 minutes
