The Claim
Pre-exhaustion resistance training leads to a 17% improvement in maximal leg extension strength in untrained adult males, which is a greater relative gain compared to the 11% improvement from traditional resistance training, likely attributable to exercise specificity.
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.
When guys who don't usually exercise try a special workout called pre-exhaustion training, they get 17% stronger in their legs—that's more than the 11% boost from regular workouts, probably because the special training targets the muscles more directly.

Pre-exhaustion resistance training improves maximal leg extension strength by 17% in untrained adult males, which is a larger relative gain than the 11% improvement from traditional training, likely due to exercise specificity.
What the research says
1 studyThe study directly tested the same training method and found exactly what the claim says: pre-exhaustion training gave a 17% strength boost, which is bigger than the 11% from regular training.
