Because I want an "optimal training". I don't want to do 5 sets if 2 are optimal, train 3x per week is 2x is optimal, train at 100% if 95% enough, etc. Years ago I tried to determinate Optimal Training via theory (it's why I was very interested by HIT and especially Heavy Duty) but now I know that there is only one way to know : TEST IT. It'll take a few years but I may found what's Optimal and eventually be able to build my own theory based on my experiences. I already have my ideas but I need confirmations through practice !

You have to keep in mind that Mike menzter, and every pro bodybuilder are genetic freaks. They could almost do any kind of training (for the most part) and they will still look great.

Although I don't follow it, I think the best training advice will come from those doing strengh/ power lifting type of training.

Not from a Bodybuilder that is trying to set himself apart from the other bodybuilders to sell is ideas

That's usually the sign of a bs'r. Anyone whose ideas are consistently opposite or radically different from our 'current best knowledge".

Kinryoku..I'm afraid you are lost in the sauce.

You are assuming that you can only ever go about learning in ONE way. Either you "develop theories" or you experiment. NO.

You do both. That is to say there is a hugantic amount of excercise physiology knowledge built up for anybody to dip their ladle into.

We take that. We take the observations and programming knowledge those more experienced. We experiment. We combine, test, synthesize, etc.

What you are doing is a MONUMENTAL waste of time. I KNOW this to be true. This is not a 'best guess'.

You can not find an optimal way to train. This is the "goldilocks syndrome" I've been talking about lately. You're training needs are dynamic and ever changing depending on your status at any one time. Mike Mentzer got that part right at least. Only he chose to make insane assumptions and then develop them into an obsession..

You need a certain amount of chronic stumulus. Life is precious so I really don't see how anyone would be willing to waste years on uneducated and pie in the sky propositions "just to see". You will see you life passing by and you staying the same.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
