Noskill said:In the study you cited, there is no mention of greater 'loading' (here the correct term would really be intensity but I know you HIT priests have a different definition for that, in fact, I just mean weight).
The problem is, it sounds like the non failure group worked with their 6 rep max doing 3 reps for 8 sets w/ 2 minutes of rest between sets. Not enough work. It is not near what most people around here do. I think people around here stop just shy of failure, and they think it works best than hitting failure (I am of this opinion too).
What this study proves is that training to failure is better than deficient half-assed training. It does not show that inroad is the supreme king of all training parameters because the control group is not put under enough work.
