The Claim

In trained males, repeating advanced training techniques (excluding supersets) within 48 hours did not result in significant detrimental effects on training stimulus, as volume loads remained similar between sessions (2.3% increase, p = 0.08 trend).

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.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

When experienced male athletes repeated certain tough workouts within two days, it didn't really hurt their training progress because they lifted about the same amount each time.

See the scientific wording

No significant detrimental effects on training stimulus were observed when advanced training techniques (excluding supersets) were repeated within 48 hours in trained males, as volume loads remained similar between sessions (2.3% increase, p = 0.08 trend).

What the research says
