Grgic J, Schoenfeld BJ, Orazem J, Sabol F · 2022 · Journal of Sport and Health Science 11(2):202-211
REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence
Methodology
Systematic review with meta-analysis
Findings
Training to the point where no further rep is possible is not necessary to build strength or muscle mass.
Practical conclusion for REZA
At REZA, sets are rarely taken to complete failure. That saves on recovery cost without a demonstrable loss of results.
