Brad Schoenfeld ( the volume researcher guy) has been, to my knowledge, involved in at least a couple of studies recently that have demonstrated the efficacy and effectiveness of low volume, “abbreviated” routines, for the average trainee, who doesn’t have too much time on their hands.
This is in contrast to other studies, that he is more renowned for, which attempted to demonstrate the effectiveness of high volume (in some cases, ridiculous amounts) training.
Here is the latest study…

To be fair, Schoenfeld is the Everything Researcher guy. He may have had a volume focus for a while, because that’s the way the wind was blowing, but he’s done plenty of studies on other tropes, variables, etc.
Does Schoenfeld take in account fluid retention/edema with high volume training?? Perhaps say 3-5 sets with RIR might be more ideal for the average trainer looking for a little more muscle than just what one set might provide.
I think if you asked Lyle McDonald, he would peg Brad as the “high volume” researcher.
Since when is a diet guy the harbinger of what Is or Isn’t in the iron game?!
Lyle is more than a “ diet” guy.
He’s an intelligent fella, who is very astute with his analysis of studies to do with training.
At least we know who to nominate for president of his fan club!!
Well you’re not even a “diet guy” and yet you have opinions on training and issues surrounding it…
I’m actually not the greatest fan of Lyle’s personality ( a lot of what he says gets lost in the delivery of the message) but he does have a good common sense approach to training.
I suggest that you might want to read a few of his articles, or watch some of his videos (especially to get a bit of the background of his “beef” with Brad and associates).
