The Claim
In trained females undergoing resistance training for 12 weeks, progressively increasing weekly set volume every two weeks results in greater improvements in leg press one-repetition maximum (1RM) compared to maintaining a constant volume of 22 sets per week, indicating that volume progression enhances strength gains in this population.
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 women who already lift weights increase their workout volume every couple of weeks, they’ll get stronger on the leg press faster than if they stick to the same number of sets the whole time.
See the scientific wording
In trained females performing resistance training over 12 weeks, progressively increasing weekly set volume every two weeks leads to greater improvements in leg press one-repetition maximum (1RM) compared to maintaining a constant set volume of 22 sets per week, suggesting that volume progression enhances strength gains in this population.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that women who gradually increased their workout volume got stronger in leg press compared to those who did the same amount each week, which supports the idea that increasing volume helps build more strength.
