follow Chris Beardsley
Cheers for this! I'm now following him.
I've been following this advice from a few months ago and I've seen improvements!
Anacdotal - Not in increased weight but in joint health and recovery (post workout Doms)
I was WAY over training. Like in bench I got up to 10 sets (after warm up sets) and my joint fucking hated me ( obvious to everyone else except me). After seeing that graph I realised that all I was doing was hurting myself with no benefit. I thought the extra sets were good and I was willing to push through.
Plus now have slightly more time to do something else.

What I'd add to this conversation is that set quality makes a huge difference too.
8 sets to absolute muscular failure with proper rest periods is A LOT. It will mess you up and put you in a hole for a bit.
8 mindless sets with a shorter range of motion leaving 5-6 reps in the tank probably won't get you anywhere near the gains you're after.
