Isn't it all dependent on where you are compared to your potential? I.e. a beginner, intermediate etc. if you're a beginner then it's all pretty easy. Compound lifting 3x a week, eat healthy, sleep. You get stronger, bigger, leaner untill you plateau. Then you have to faff about with programming, goals, splits, whatever. If you are elite then it will change again.
Research like this needs to be put into context. Are the subjects untrained, elite body builders, on season rugby players who are trying desperately to maintain off season gains when the playing schedule only allows one session a week, steroid filled influencers, dad bod dads in their early 40s who used to ride a sweet fixeh but now sit at a desk wondering where it all went?
My guess would be this research is about beginners/untrained and not elite body builders, who are unlikely to be able to gain any size with squats.
