How many total working sets per week does Andy Galpin recommend for strength and power training? I know he has discussed the 3 x 5 protocol multiple times on the Huberman podcast. They've mentioned a range of 10-20+ sets per week for strength training. Can you summarize the total working sets per week that he recommends? If I extrapolate the 3 x 5 protocol—doing three sets of three exercises three times a week, which is the bare minimum—would that amount be $0.27 per week? That seems like a lot.
