The Claim
High-intensity resistance training results in a greater total training volume (12,619-13,899 kg) compared to low-intensity resistance training (9,755-11,191 kg) in untrained men over a 12-week period when sets and frequency are matched.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When men who don't usually exercise do high-intensity weight training for 12 weeks, they lift more total weight overall than if they do low-intensity training, even if they do the same number of workouts and sets.
See the scientific wording
High-intensity resistance training causes greater total training volume (12,619-13,899 kg) than low-intensity training (9,755-11,191 kg) in untrained men over 12 weeks when sets and frequency are matched.
