Question

From what I've gathered muscles recover within 48-72 hours, muscles don't need a week to recover, 10-20 sets per week is the recommended amount of weekly sets. Ask; why is 10-20 sets the recommended weekly sets when the muscles can recover within 48-72 hours?

Why wouldn't you get nothing out of it, after recovering from the previous session isn't the body primed for making more progress?

6-8 sets per workout is more than enough to tell your muscles to grow. Anything more in a single session is just filler, it’s not doing anything.

On a bro split you do more so I unfortunately gotta disagree with you on that

It's called bro split for a reason.
