sets id the shit, put your muscles through hell and they get bigger to adapt. I never understood how someone could do more and get less. As long as you get recovery time and & appropriate amount of protein every should be fine.
That's exactly how I roll most of the year. One working set with 2 to 3 r/p reps at the end. Done correctly, you don't need (nor could you even manage) 4 and 5 work sets per exercise.

exactly! It's doing less (volume) and getting more (progression and gains). Being an ambitiously lazy guy, it sounds perfect to me.
For those that don't know, an example of ambitiously lazy would be, figuring out the most efficient way to do something to obtain the maximum results. Like doing less and getting more.
flat bench 3x6, incline barbell press 3x6, dumbell flat press 3x10 with a very strict squeeze. the dumbell flat press with the squeeze hits the chest hard, i always feel very fatigued after this one.
