  • Researchers wanted to find out if you can still build strength and muscle with single-set training. The results should encourage us to train smarter, not harder. The post Is single-set training enough to build muscle and strength?

The article from MSN discusses a study that investigates whether single-set training is sufficient for building muscle and strength. Traditionally, multi-set routines have been favored for their effectiveness in muscle hypertrophy and strength gains. However, the research highlighted in the article suggests that single-set training can indeed be effective, particularly for beginners or those with limited time. The study found that while multi-set training might offer slightly better results in terms of muscle growth and strength, the differences are not as significant as previously thought, especially when considering time efficiency. This could make single-set training a viable option for individuals looking to balance fitness with other life commitments, although the article notes that for advanced athletes or those seeking maximum gains, multi-set routines might still be preferable.
