1 light warm up set and 2 heavy sets to failure works for me. And look at me I'm a beast!

I believe from my personal experience ppl who are newer to the gym should do more volume due to not having much muscle to damage but over time as u become more intermediate then advanced slowly lowering the volume due to having more/bigger muscles that need more resources and time to recover

I’ve always been a rest-pause guy, but typically I did 3 sets, diamond up, but to failure. First warm up set, 15-20 light Second actual lift cycle, 10-12 regular Third my max-out, at 3 heavy

Mike Mentzer's 1 set to failure was really three sets to failure with a several second break in between. Training to failure with short rest periods (max 10 seconds) is really what works.

Acknowledging the comfort, growth and danger zone mentality and readjusting your sets and reps according to it.

Rest pause has me seeing stars. I feel like the whole world shrinks and everything is okay after a good workout

I’ll do a superset if anything as my “2nd set”. Chest flys for chest, then move onto dips to have the arms assist those last few reps on the chest 🔥

Pre exhaust id say would be the tool of choice. 1 set of pec Flys to failure before the bench press to failure.

I kind of feel that rest pause is the ultimate one set to failure. That's basically how I used it except it was on my second set. First being a kind of warmup.

I do rest pause because train alone. I can’t do mike mentzer method safely or forced reps. It’s been working great!

Forced reps is what Mike meant to get to that breaking point. Will have to go with forced reps.

Volume training with super sets n drop sets while dancing to music on my headphones full volume between each set

Once im warmed up it’s one set to failure, with an isometric hold at the end of the last rep for 12 sec
