One of the big ideas thats been upsetting the training paradigm recently is muscle growth measurements, and the realization that A LOT of the high volume studies that supposedly showed superior muscle gains may have simply been…more swelling than muscle.
One additional potential variable, as if we needed more, is lifter recovery capability. And this in turn varies over a lifetime (declining). I have found that at age 59, fewer sets fits me better. Maybe it always would have, but I feel it more now.
