AI synopsis
What people are saying
The overall discourse shows enthusiasm for the study’s conclusion that stopping with a few repetitions in reserve is nearly as effective as training to failure, with many posts discussing practical implications and citing specific research. The use of enthusiastic tones, detailed explanations, and references to influential researchers highlight both high interest and perceived significance in shaping fitness approaches.
Most discussions support the finding that training with repetitions-in-reserve produces muscle growth comparable to failure training, indicating strong agreement.
Participants are highly interested, as evidenced by numerous references to the study, hashtags, and mentions of practical applications in training.
Posts are detailed, with references to research, mentions of experts, and discussions of training strategies, showing deep engagement.
The widespread sharing and emphasis on the implications for training protocols reflect a high perceived impact on fitness practices.
Abstract in brief
- The study compared muscle growth and neuromuscular fatigue in resistance-trained individuals who performed leg exercises to failure or with specified repetitions in reserve (RIR) over an 8-week period, finding similar increases in quadriceps muscle thickness for both methods but some slight differences favoring RIR in certain muscles.
- Muscle hypertrophy (growth) was measured through muscle thickness of the quadriceps, and neuromuscular fatigue was assessed via velocity and repetition loss during lifts; results showed greater fatigue in the failure group.
- Overall, training to failure and stopping with some RIR produced comparable muscle gains, but failure training led to higher fatigue indicators, with differences varying depending on the exercise and stage of training.]

@burby_geek @CaryKelly11 MacroFactor is used in research (one example here: https://t.co/ziupeyBhjU). But, the bigger issue for this topic is that the comparison is meaningless without other controls.

@gary__tyr @levelsio Nothing wrong with going to failure, but purely from a modern scientific perspective, going to 1-2 reps in reserve is equally effective for Hypertrophy while decreasing risk of injury. You do not need absolute failure to trigger the most growth. https://t.co/inH3E4DSSY

Repetições até a falha ou próximo da falha ? Dá no mesmo para aumento do volume muscular. Então o recado é: sempre busque a falha durante a execução das repetições, mas tenha em mente que a falha não é obrigatória. https://t.co/MnvovPD28T
