Strength Matrix
Andy explains the universal strength matrix, which involves three to five days per week, three to five exercises, three to five reps per set, three to five total sets, and three to five minutes rest between each set. The intensity must be high, and the volume can range from three to five days a week, three to five exercises, and three to five sets per exercise.In this clip

How many total working sets per week does Andy Galpin recommend for strength and power training? I know he has discussed the 3 x 5 protocol multiple times on the Huberman podcast. They've mentioned a range of 10-20+ sets per week for strength training. Can you summarize the total working sets per week that he recommends?
If I extrapolate the 3 x 5 protocol—doing three sets of three exercises three times a week, which is the bare minimum—would that amount be $0.27 per week? That seems like a lot.
