The Claim
Deception design successfully prevented participant awareness of study purpose, thereby reducing demand characteristics that could artificially inflate predictive accuracy measurements in resistance training repetition prediction research.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting 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.
Researchers tricked people in a study so they wouldn't guess what was being tested, which helped get more honest results about predicting exercise reps.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: “Just One More Rep!” – Ability to Predict Proximity to Task Failure in Resistance Trained Persons
The study used a trick to hide its purpose from participants, but it still found they were bad at guessing how many reps they could do, which goes against the claim that the trick worked well.
