New study shows that well trained lifters (4.5 years 4 days a week training) make similar gains close to failure as they do ≈7 reps away from failure
Thoughts? I think it’s definitely interesting at a minimum, definitely because I was expecting this to be done on relatively inexperienced lifters, not high intermediate and advanced. Opens up opportunities for others to do more in depth and larger scale research on this topic. I’m probably not going to incorporate this into my training just because it’s A. Boring B. Time inefficient C. Not fun D. Not enough participants and not long enough for it to be 100% trustworthy
