Training volume increases or maintenance based on previous volume: the effects on muscular adaptations in trained males

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Increasing previous resistance training volume by 30% (G30), 60% (G60), or maintenance (CON) on muscular adaptations in trained individuals. Interestingly, CON group resulted in the greatest overall 1RM strength, whereas G30 showed the highest increase in repetitions to failure, with no differences between groups in muscle mass size. These findings suggest that more is not always better for muscle adaptations in a trained cohort, highlighting muscle growth across a wide range of weekly set numbers.
