The physiological basis of strength training is the overload principle. This principle requires that a muscle be progressively overloaded beyond its current capabilities to stimulate a strength/growth response.
Therefore, any progressivestrength training protocol that has a systematic plan of overload (i.e. increasing resistance/repetitions) will produce results!
Otherwise stated, despite what strength-training program is used, it is the INTENSE and INTELLIGENT application of the lifter’s EFFORT that is most responsible for their results -- not the program.
The bottom line is, and always will be, an issue of COMMITMENT and HARD WORK -- not how many sets/reps were performed.
Maximal effort is required to develop maximal results. HARD WORK should not be confused with MORE WORK.
Truth be told, it does not take a maximal amount of work and/or time to develop maximal results. It does require maximal effort and maximal perseverance.
In other words, strength development is USE IT OR LOOSE IT -- AND DON’T ABUSE IT! Train hard, chart your progression, allow ample time to rest/recovery between workouts.
