I hope scott doesn't mind me chiming in here...
I felt the exact same coming from hitting each bodypart with high volume and frequency during the week. Trust the book, and trust the process - when you take that 1 set to absolute failure, the pain and muscle recruitment is beyond anything else. You get a different drive knowing there's just one all out balls to the wall set you have to complete. Where as if I was to tell you to do 3 sets of 10, you definitely wouldn't be going all out on all 3 sets.
Also recent studies have actually shown that 1 set of 10 with a drop set is more beneficial to muscle hypertrophy than 3 sets of 10 - i'll have to actually find the study but I can definitely tell its working. Plus when you have guys like Scott and Jordan Peters doing this type of training and they have physiques and the brains to match, it sorta makes you realise that 'hey, these guys must know what they're talking about'
Just jump, trust the process, and if it doesn't work for you then it doesn't - but I really think you'll be surprised how much you'll grow!
