Intensity/Failure vs. Volume

This is almost exactly what Paul Carter and guys have been discussing for 1100+ posts here: Question to You Guys: What Do You THINK is the Main Driver for Muscle Growth?

Out of curiosity, what did this look like, specifically? What did you originally have planned and what did you adjust?

It absolutely can, zero doubt, but it needs to be programmed properly. As a one-off session like you had, it’s totally fine to just crush it, walk away, and get back to the regular plan next session.

But if you were going to train that way for weeks or months at a time, things like recovery, training frequency/bodypart split, volume per workout, etc. would need to be sorted out to avoid just grinding yourself down.
