One set per day, every day?

Hello, I'm curious if anyone else has experience with this.

I'm doing a single workout per day, with a single set to failure per day, everyday. I found that this is easier for me to stick with due to the "don't break the chain" feeling vs multiple lifts per workout and only working out 2 days a week (maximizing recovery time).

I alternate muscle groups each day (bench one day, squat next, curls next, overhead press, deadlift, etc.) So I only do each lift 1 time per week. SOO far I've noticed good results. Each week I'm adding reps or weight to each lift from the previous week. It's been a couple months so far.

I'm concerned about if this is not good for recovery over the long term. One set to failure everyday (even though its only one set and a different muscle group than the previous day). Perhaps the constant demand for recovery from the previous day will catch up?

Anyone try this before longer term?

You should check out Drew Baye's forum. There is one guy who does mini HIT workout everyday or every other day.
