Low volume high intensity training

Do you guys think the Mentzer heavy duty method is still relevant today? He advocated very few sets- like 1-2 right? I hear allot of guys on here bad mouth Mentzer.

I have been running a program pretty close to the Needsize 5x5 with some tweaks. I haven't been seeing really great gains but I am not losing muscle either. I am trying to cut right now. Need to lose that little bit of fat around my waist. So, I should be looking for around 3-5 set per bodypart? Some of you suggest higher. Currently I do around 9 set per bodypart. Shit, I am still sore from deadlifts I did 3 days ago. I had really bad sciatica for over a year and it just recently went away. I am trying to be really careful with my back. I still stick to leg presses because of that. It would be nice to be able to squat again. Maybe soon.

The scientific approach (Mentzers method) will never change,and will always be relevant...
