Research
Study summaries and evidence-based findings.
What's the Best Way to Progress Resistance Training Volume?
Recent research challenges the idea that complex volume and exercise variation strategies are necessary for continued muscle growth in resistance training.
What Does Research Say About Eccentric Training for Strength?
New research reveals eccentric training can boost strength gains by 20-35% compared to traditional lifting methods.
What Does 30 Years of Creatine Research Tell Us About Strength?
Three decades of research consistently shows creatine supplementation increases strength by 5-15% and power output by 5-30% in trained individuals.
What Does One Bad Night's Sleep Do to Your Lifting?
New research reveals exactly how much one night of poor sleep impacts your strength training performance and what you can do about it.
How Many Sets Per Week Do You Actually Need to Grow?
Recent research reveals the optimal training volume for muscle growth, challenging common assumptions about how many sets you need per week.
Is Training to Failure Necessary for Muscle Growth?
Training to failure is not necessary for muscle growth. Research shows that stopping 1-3 reps short of failure produces similar hypertrophy with significantly less fatigue, though failure has strategic uses on isolation exercises.
