Makes sense.

I have adhered to the conventional wisdom of multiple sets with higher loads in my training and I have gotten stronger. So I made progress over the last couple of years. Being on the downhill side of 40 the progress comes pretty slow though and I guess I'm always open to new angles.

Good article.

Thanks Lisa
