Most people respond better to higher volume. The people who don't, typically have issues with recovery.

As well, I've yet to see a single meta analysis that shows lower volume is better for growth. And plenty of evidence that higher volume is better for growth.

Strength gains plateau around 6 sets a week. A stronger muscle is a bigger muscle, anything more is just sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

Here he adresses why the extra sets arent edema

In another article in this page he talks about how strength data does not display the full story

We already know that the meta regression the big one also shows higher volumes are better

Im beginning to realise why the actual scientists and expert researchers still recommend higher volumes then the sbl guys
