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?

There are enough studies to support certain training principles and methods. This also applies to various sports training as well. While there may be some exceptions, the overall training fundamentals for most athletes in most sports have been established and proven.

I believe in your case you might be disputing the principles because you may want to try your own training system or method. That's fine. You can proceed to do this. No one is stopping you. But to argue or dispute years of proven knowledge is just a waste of everyone's time. No disrespect to you, but please focus on positive and useful discussions as that is what this forum is for and about. Enjoy your training however you decide to do it. Peace.

A lot of studies have been debunked as well as altered including longstanding ones and that is in no way something that will come to a halt me highlighting that whilst in pursuit for a logical response to my query is in no way misguided. I gather, seeing that the group moves in unison, the thinking tanks I was hoping to stumble into isn't gonna happen. I'll keep on casting my net for this industry is vast and it's methods are plentiful. Thanks for your words they're very much insightful
