Study: Low volume exercise is as effective for strength and endurance as high volume

But high volume exercise increases muscle hypertrophy
Thoughts?

Resistance Training Volume Enhances Muscle Hypertrophy.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate muscular adaptations between low-, moderate-, and high-volume resistance training (RT) protocols in resistance-trained men.
METHODS:
Thirty-four healthy resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 experimental groups: a low-volume group (1SET) performing 1 set per exercise per training session (n = 11); a moderate-volume group (3SET) performing 3 sets per exercise per training session (n = 12); or a high-volume group (5SET) performing 5 sets per exercise per training session (n = 11). Training for all routines consisted of three weekly sessions performed on non-consecutive days for 8 weeks. Muscular strength was evaluated with 1 repetition maximum (RM) testing for the squat and bench press. Upper-body muscle endurance was evaluated using 50% of subjects bench press 1RM performed to momentary failure. Muscle hypertrophy was evaluated using B-mode ultrasonography for the elbow flexors, elbow extensors, mid-thigh and lateral thigh.
RESULTS:
Results showed significant pre-to-post intervention increases in strength and endurance in all groups, with no significant between-group differences. Alternatively, while all groups increased muscle size in most of the measured sites from pre-to-post intervention, significant increases favoring the higher volume conditions were seen for the elbow flexors, mid-thigh, and lateral thigh.
CONCLUSION:
Marked increases in strength and endurance can be attained by resistance-trained individuals with just three, 13-minute weekly sessions over an 8-week period, and these gains are similar to that achieved with a substantially greater time commitment. Alternatively, muscle hypertrophy follows a dose-response relationship, with increasingly greater gains achieved with higher training volumes.

I thought this had been the consensus for a while now?

It's interesting, but I'm not sure it accounts for all factors.
Generally, research also indicates larger muscles have greater strength potential.

As the article indicates, this is particularly true the further from beginning a lifter gets.
That tends to support the traditional block programming focusing on hypertrophy for a period and then cutting volume and ramping intensity to peak.
Interesting study though. The more specificity is understood abojt overall volume, the better training plans get.

This is what I've known for a long time
Volume = mass
Intensity = strength
Mass allows higher ceiling for strength
Volume = mass
Intensity = strength
Mass allows higher ceiling for strength

Pretty much only thing I would add, if you are taking in significant calories and protein
Gains in strength= gains in mass

Depends on what and how you train. Olympic lifters aren’t all that big, but they can clean and press ungodly weight.
But I’ve always thought volume was for size and intensity was for strength. They compliment each other, though.

Yeah but they have weight classes and use leverages. They don't want mass as it's harder to move. There is a reason the term "lb for lb" exists. The biggest person had the largest ceiling for strength.

I completely agree, but you have to hand it to the smaller guys. They can move some weight. Explosively, too.

absolutly. But if you look at most olympic lifters and their programs, they lack density or any other movements besides the main lifts. THey aslo restrict calories.
in the end all of the volume doesnt matter for hypertrophy. Its a matter of density using the highest intensity possible. or essentially time under tension mutiplied by intensity.

Training to failure every set? Near failure?
