Muscle hypertrophy and strength gains after resistance training with different volume-matched loads: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Carvalho L, Junior RM, Barreira J, Schoenfeld BJ, Orazem J, Barroso R. Carvalho L, et al. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2022 Apr;47(4):357-368. doi: 10.1139/apnm-2021-0515. Epub 2022 Jan 11. Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2022. PMID: 35015560
A pooled analysis of the standardized mean difference for hypertrophy outcomes across all studies showed no differences between training loads. Our findings indicate that when the volume load is equal between conditions, the highest loads induce superior dynamic strength g …
