> How To Train Like A Minimalist (More Gains In Less Time). Directed by Jeff Nippard, 2022.

You can get up to 81% of maximal gains from 1-4 sets per week. ## Health 30-60 min of weightlifting per week ensure maximum health risk reduction. ## Hypertrophy The common baseline is around 10 sets per body part per week. 1-4 sets will get you up to 64% of maximum gains, and 5-9 sets up to 84%. ## Maintenance As little as 1/9th of baseline work may be enough maintain gains. ## Best practices 1. Push yourself harder: most sets should be taken to or close to failure. 2. Use dropsets (failure once, reduce weight by 25-50%, failure again) 3. Sensible supersets (exercises targeting different body parts done back-to-back without rest) 4. Cut down on warmup to save time
