Multiple Sets vs Single Set To Failure

[koi]

I've just finished reading the 4 hour body, a very interesting read.

One training method offered is

1. PERFORM ONE-SET-TO-FAILURE FOR EACH EXERCISE.
Follow Arthur Jones’s general recommendation of one-set-to-failure (i.e., reaching the point where you can no longer move the weight) for 80–120 seconds of total time under tension per exercise. Take at least three minutes of rest between exercises.

2. USE A 5/5 REP CADENCE.
Perform every repetition with a 5/5 cadence (five seconds up, five seconds down) to eliminate
momentum and ensure constant load.

3. FOCUS ON 2–10 EXERCISES PER WORKOUT, NO MORE.

What do people think about this in comparison to the standard (I guess?) 3 sets of 8-10 reps?

Any advice appreciated.

Not really an opinion but why not try it for a few weeks and see how it goes? I mix up my routine all the time. Maybe ill try this for a week or two and see what kind of results i get.

I am a big fan of Mike Mentzer (RIP), started to learn about heavy duty aka High Intensity and it has done really well for me, but I will have to say that doing something like yoga or pilates or I mean core exercises, man stuff. Is a harder now, so I feel that both have a positive reaction to the body.
Holding a certain position for long periods of time, seems like a workout in it's own.
Fast twitch and slow twitch muscle difference, I guess.
