I recall Rippetoe & Kilgore speculating in Practical Programming for Strength Training that 70-80% of all muscular gains occur in the first set.
I had OpenAI's deep research look into this and its sources concluded that "One-set routines can achieve roughly 60–70% of the muscle growth that higher-volume (3–5 set) routines produce".
You can do one set of various exercises and be out of the gym in minutes.
Of course, this sounds ridiculous, but appears to be true.
