    The problem with this study is that it was performed on untrained individuals. This study shows that, in that population, the progressive nature of the load is more important than the intensity of the load (defined as % of 1rm), which is something that we already know.

    You cannot necessarily apply this to the "trained" population, those with 6-12 months of lifiting under their belts. For those folks, working primarily in the range of 80-85% of 1rm has been shown time and again to be the most effective way to achieve mass & strength gains, both in research and in practical experience.

    Thank you.

    Not to mention the 'young men' aspect as well.

    Nor, the multiple studies that prove the information this supposedly disputes, which were performed with a different, more general cross section of the population.

    *shrug*

    I'll stick to, and continue to recommend, what I know through science and experience works.

    As an non-newbie old women...I think I will stick to low reps also.

    LMAO you said it ^ this time haha... nono I don't want a piece of you today but maybe tomorrow lmao as you once told me... I am kidding :flowerforyou:
