Good point. I think what root of the study comes down to is the ability to recover. An genetically gifted and elite athlete has a much higher ability to recover than the average Joe or Andy. For many, the Arnold Strong routine of 20 sets/bodypart is to taxing, without using drugs to distort and increase your recovery ability. The average person would likely fall into a pit of overtraining. One set at full intensity i sjust enough to start the hypertrophic process without going so far that a person can't recover.

In any case, I've just started a 1 set/bodypart routine this week. I will post any of my gains or losses.
