Non-failure resistance training produces similar hypertrophy outcomes to failure training in older, untrained adults.
7-day creatine loading increases repetitions to failure significantly in strength-trained men.
Low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction enhances muscle strength comparably to traditional high-load training in healthy males.
9–10 sets per muscle weekly recommended for optimal hypertrophy.
Doubling RT volume enhances hypertrophy in older females by 10%.
Compound exercises offer similar biceps hypertrophy as isolation in novices.
Using loads >60% 1RM is superior for strength compared to ≤60% 1RM loads or training to failure.
