The Claim
In detrained young men, performing varied resistance exercises for the same muscle group during training sessions is associated with more uniform muscle hypertrophy across proximal, middle, and distal regions of the muscle, as all measured sites showed significant increases after nine weeks of varied exercise, suggesting that exercise variation promotes balanced growth along the muscle length.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you mix up your strength workouts for the same muscle, it might help it grow more evenly from top to bottom, especially if you haven’t been training for a while.
See the scientific wording
Performing different resistance exercises for the same muscle group during training sessions may be associated with more uniform muscle hypertrophy across proximal, middle, and distal sites in detrained young men, as all measured sites showed significant increases after nine weeks of varied exercise, suggesting that exercise variation could promote balanced growth along the muscle length.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that switching up exercises led to more even muscle growth in beginners, which matches what the claim says.
