Accuracy in Estimating Repetitions to Failure During Resistance Exercise
Cross-Sectional Study
Human
2017 AugThe study looked at how well people can guess how many more times they can lift weights before getting too tired, and it found that for chest exercises, guesses were very close to reality for up to 5 more reps, but for leg exercises, guesses were only close for up to 3 more reps, just like the claim says.
