Different workout styles for building muscle didn't show big differences in how the nerves responded in trained men over 6 weeks, meaning nerve changes might not be the main reason some workouts make you stronger than others.

The impact of repetition mechanics on the adaptations resulting from strength-, hypertrophy- and cluster-type resistance training

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

2016 Oct

The study didn't measure brain-muscle signals like the claim talked about, so it can't tell us if those signals were the same or different between the workouts.

Gold Standard Evidence Needed

According to GRADE and EBM methodology, here is what ideal scientific evidence would look like to definitively prove or disprove this specific claim, ordered from strongest to weakest evidence.

Similar Assertions

When guys who’ve never lifted weights before start training, their muscles get stronger partly because their brain gets better at telling the muscles to fire harder — but most of the strength gain still comes from the muscles actually getting bigger.

Rest-pause training helps you lift heavier without making your muscles bigger—so maybe your nervous system gets better at using your muscles, not just your muscles getting bigger.

Lifting heavier weights makes your brain and nerves work better to help you get stronger faster than lifting lighter weights, especially for guys who are new to working out.
