The point of lower-volume programs is often to teach you how to work harder on less. The harder you can train on ONE set, the better your results will be, in my opinion. Once you've learned to do that, THEN you can benefit from adding more volume.
But, if you start out with 50-set programs and never learn to push really, really hard on ONE set, you'll never see the full benefits of all that work.
Let me be clear: I don't think you should stick with low volume forever. I do believe that using low volume programs for an extended period of time is an important part of a strength athlete's progression, regardless of whether the primary goals are strength or size.
