Is that really true though? You can easily do more reps overall by spreading across the entire day, and you're even adding time for recovery. My anecdata of 1 i

  In my anecdata of 1, yes, it makes a difference, but it's well past the 80/20 threshold.

  In my anecdata, it depends on what your goal is. I think doing some reps spread throughout the day is a good way to increase the max number of reps you can do in bodyweight exercises. Some communities call this method "greasing the groove." For me, I could get up to doing 20 pull-ups in a row (without kipping) if I did sets throughout the day. But I wasn't gaining any muscle, so I definitely didn't look like I could do 20 pull-ups. My brother trains by going to the gym and doing all sets at the gym. He definitely looks like he can do 20 pull-ups. So, if your goal is to improve your max number of reps in some exercise, then yes, I think it's a good approach. If your goal is to build muscle, I don't think it's an optimal approach.
