It's even better if you are a fighter or athlete to train 1 minute shorter, and for people who want to remain lean instead of muscular you can retain your power and strength while looking slim by doing shorter intense workouts for 12 minutes, if you want to build muscle you will need to get blood pumping to the muscle with higher reps or volume.
New research shows a short gym session can help endurance athletes gain strength—minus that unwanted bulk.
The only difference between the high volume and low volume lifters was muscle size. While all the men experienced some increase in muscle size, those lifting higher volumes saw the most significant gains. In short, the more sets the men lifted, the bigger their muscles got. But again, the burlier men weren’t stronger, just beefier.
