Single Set vs Multiple Set Training: Part 2

Can you get the same results in less time? Science - done properly - says yes.

As noted in Part 1, just how many sets one should perform in a gym workout is a source of often heated debate. Humans, you see, never run out of things to argue about.

If single sets deliver similar results to multiple sets, it means we can spend much less time in the weight room. We can get stronger and build a more muscular physique and have more time for other important things, like family, friends, hobbies, reading and learning, and pursuing other physical endeavours (cycling, hiking, martial arts, etc).

Is this ideal scenario possible, or merely wishful thinking of the have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too variety?
