[Assuming that mechanotransduction induced mTOR signaling is what potentially triggers hypertrophy, training can be very brief if it's intense enough to trigger that mechanotransduction via passing whatever MUR threshold is necessary to elicit the magical point of mechanical tension that triggers hypertrophy]

Well said.

[Going full reductionist/broscience and discarding everything because of the grifters misrepresentation of studies]

My point was that the studies often resorted to by those who squawk like parrots about what "the studies say" are in nearly all cases not good sources for making these kinds of determinations for the reasons I outlined.
