"After reading hit post I decided to write, reasons for doing only one set and leg only training. The below needs more explanations. They are just being use as good point for this type of training. They are from Mike and Arthur books and articles.
1) Mike Mentzer; Legpress, squats and Deadlifts are the most prodictive excersices.
2) Mike Mentzer; If you could stimulate growth with zero sets. You would grow so fast it would stagger the imagination (he would joke and say he hasnt figured it out yet. But he is working on it) There is zero sets for upper body. So in a way Steve is kinda acomplishing this.
3) Mike Mentzer; One set is a negative as far as you train at all is a negative, you are digging a hole into recovery ability. But you cant have a workout with zero sets.
4) Mike Mentzer; Its easy to notice the diffrence in the muscles of a sprinter and a marathon runner, whos muscle are small and stringy. Sprinter′s run very fast and hard. Because of its hight intensity nature they are prevented from running longer. Thus the systemic affect from running at a hight intensity level. Give′s them more muscle than the marathon runner. Marathon runers, run slow and for long distance. The intenstiy is very low.
5) Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones; Throw a small rock in a lake it creates small ripples. Throw a bigger rock and it creates bigger ripples. Thats the systimic affect. The larger the muscle being trained the more growth thruw out the body. So leg training can result in upper body growth.
6) Arthur Jones; If a trainee was to just do squats for a year. He could possibly add 20lbs of muscle. He would gain muscle on his legs. But because of the systemic affect caused by the squats only workout. The trainee would also experience overall growth thru out his body. Pecs, lats and arms would also grow.(Side note; Static holds are more intense traing. Possible that the above trainee could gain more muscle)
Just a few thing that pop into my head after reading HIT post."

La je suis plus avec eux hahaaha ONE SET OF LEG PRESS once a WEEK or once a MONTH !!!
En plus, scientifiquement il a été démontré que l'effet indirect (Squat for big arms) est quelque chose qui ne se produit pas.
