Myoreps Effective Sets (Evidence Discussion)

My workout app logs myoreps as a single set. Everything I’ve found (except Milo’s 2yo YouTube video) suggests it’s the equivalent of 3 sets. I searched here and found discussion but more shoulder shrugs and questions about how to implement them. So….how many sets are Myoreps? Is this considered settled or is it really an open question?

Time to deload? (AI feedback question)

I’ve been really frustrated I’m not gaining weight despite increasing volume (10sec a per group Jan, 15ish Feb, 22ish March, 30ish since March 17th) and calories when weight stalls (started ~2700 Jan up to 3450 last 2.5 weeks). I did cut my running from 35-40 miles per week (fall marathon season through Feb) to only 25 miles per week.

So I fed all my Garmin and MacroFactor Nutrition / Workout data into some AI agents and asked for feedback. ChatGPT, Grok and Claude all said the same thing - I need a deload asap. Their feedback said I have classic signs of CNS fatigue: my HRV increased after changing to my high volume routine on 3/17, followed by tanking HRV that stayed low, increasing calories with no weight gain, my waist shrinking 32.25 to 31.9, and only moderate strength gains despite being relatively untrained. Apparently I’m poorly partitioning calories due to high fatigue and adding more is just a waste of time.

Is this correct? In my research I’ve not found that sort of information anywhere but…maybe? In hindsight this pattern has repeated itself every time I add volume…
