He has a podcast with a sports trainer (IIRC he works with UFC fighters) who explains 6 sets of 10 reps is the optimum for testosterone production.

I can't remember the exact details or science etc etc, but the 6 set/10 rep thing was discussed specifically and solely around testosterone production - nothing else.
