Agreed, the evidence points to a diminishing returns effect on increasing volume leading to an asymptote. More is better (absent injury)... but the benefit of each additional set starts to really flatline somewhere beyond 20 sets.
I believe another publication is coming soon from Schoenfeld on this matter.
My point is just that to perform even 10 sets per muscle group, unless you want to live in the gym, 5 min rest periods are not really an option. Almost no one has the time to be optimal, so just cramming as much volume in as you can handle is the ideal for most.
I also follow Schoenfeld. He does excellent work.
