He did some warmup sets for safety but if you think that 336 is doing anything to build muscle when your working weight is 415 then you don’t understand what mechanical tension is which objectively the driver of growth.People often regard Dorian Yates as the poster boy for low volume training. But like Lee Preist stated, if you actually compare how he trained to many other lifters, it's not that different. The main difference is that DY only really "counted" his top sets that went beyond failure and not all of his work sets. He never did ONE set though - he did one TOP set beyond muscle failure.

He had one set that had effective reps
He had one working set maybe 2 per exercise
