Absolutely. It's amazing how time-efficient resistance training is. Strength training in particular where you're using the higher weights and lower reps.

- ErikAugust 14y agoAgreed. I have found a total of 10 reps (divided by 2 or 3 sets) or less for each lift is enough to see gains. The point is to keep setting a slightly higher max and go to failure.
- eru 14y agoThat depends heavily on your traning status. As a beginner you will see gains with almost any routine. If you progress enough, you will eventually need more complicated programming. Going to failure is not a good idea in general. You do not want to train your body to fail. Going for slightly higher maxes each time is excellent advice for beginners, though.
