Multiple Sets, One Set, Failure, Almost to Failure: New Study
For over 50 years, the most hotly debated topic among strength training practitioners, coaches, and trainees continues to be:
One set of a strength training exercise.
Or,
Multiple sets (generally 3 sets of 10 repetitions).
Two factions. The debate is heated. Choose your side.
Montagues and Capulets.
The American political left and political right.
I assure you, the single and multiple set debate is far more polarizing.
I’ve been an advocate of performing one set to the point of momentary muscle failure since 1998. However, I remain in the minority. The vast majority of trainees and coaches continue to espouse the superiority of performing multiple sets.
To be clear, it probably shouldn’t be an either/or debate. Of course, one can stimulate profound benefits by adhering to a single set regimen or a multiple set regimen. At Discover Strength, for over 18 years, we’ve had a leaning toward a single set approach, but we do judiciously include a variety of multiple set protocols (“3 Strikes” and “Reverse Progression” are among my favorites). They both work.
However, I’m eternally interested in questions like:
Which works better?
Which works better relative to the time investment?
Which works better for which population (what does an “advanced” trainee need versus a novice to strength training?)?
In perhaps the most fascinating study of 2024, researchers attempted to answer these questions.
