Elbow Flexor Adaptations to Failure Versus Repetitions-in-Reserve Training: A Unilateral Within-Participant Study in Resistance-Trained Adults
This study compared elbow flexor hypertrophy and maximal strength adaptations after eight weeks of resistance training performed either to momentary muscular failure or with 1–3 repetitions in reserve (RIR). Nineteen resistance-trained adults completed a unilateral within-participant protocol in which one arm trained t...
