Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training on Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy in Well-Trained Men.
TL;DR: It is indicated that both HL and LL training to failure can elicit significant increases in muscle hypertrophy among well-trained young men; however, HL training is superior for maximizing strength adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance Training Volume Enhances Muscle Hypertrophy but Not Strength in Trained Men.
Brad J. Schoenfeld,Bret Contreras,James W. Krieger,Jozo Grgic,Kenneth Delcastillo,Ramon Belliard,Andrew Alto +6 more
TL;DR: Marked increases in strength and endurance can be attained by resistance-trained individuals with just three 13-min weekly sessions over an 8-wk period, and these gains are similar to that achieved with a substantially greater time commitment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of different volume-equated resistance training loading strategies on muscular adaptations in well-trained men.
Brad J. Schoenfeld,Nicholas A. Ratamess,Mark D. Peterson,Bret Contreras,G. T. Sonmez,Brent A. Alvar +5 more
TL;DR: It was showed that both bodybuilding- and powerlifting-type training promote similar increases in muscular size, but power lifting- type training is superior for enhancing maximal strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of maturation on adaptations to strength training and detraining in 11-15-year-olds
TL;DR: Maintenance programs are needed for most aspects of explosive performance following strength training before the growth spurt and for sprint speed after the growthSpurt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Resistance Training Frequency on Muscular Adaptations in Well-Trained Men
TL;DR: The findings suggest a potentially superior hypertrophic benefit to higher weekly resistance training frequencies, as shown in results showed significantly greater increases in forearm flexor MT for TOTAL compared with SPLIT.
