No significant difference between one set training and multiple sets training

In a study done at the University of Florida, trainees with at least one year of experience were divided in two groups. One group did single sets of eight to twelve reps and the other group did three sets within the same rep range.

Both groups showed similar increase in strength and endurance, and equally gained lean muscle mass and lost fat.

I personally had several years of training experience with single sets exercising (not counting the warm up sets). That is how one of the best bodybuilders ever used to train and win – Dorian Yates.

I, too have to say that the gains are similar if not better in favor of the single set training.
