This is pretty huge, the researchers conclude that:
- “low weight, high reps” and “high weight, low reps” have about equal results on muscle growth, as long as you work to fatigue (but obvs, higher weight means quicker fatigue)
- this muscle growth is consistent for each person, but differs wildly between people (meaning some people are just naturally bigger and stronger, all else being equal)
- muscle growth is drastically reduced after 10 weeks of regular exercise (smaller gains in strength and endurance)
I feel so vindicated, insisting on doing calisthenics where I’m at instead of joining a gym I won’t go to 😅
