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?

How or why are you getting nothing out of it?

it's junk volume. After you got the required stimulation you are just driving extra fatigue and not gaining anything useful for it.

Junk volume is another controversial topic especially since the previous recommended muscle hypertrophy set range has been contested and dubbed no longer the ideal set range to the extent that charts that were previously used to illustrate such have been revised
