The Claim
Superset resistance training produces similar chronic adaptations in maximal strength, strength endurance, and muscle hypertrophy compared to traditional resistance training over periods of several weeks in resistance-trained individuals.
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.
For people who already lift weights, doing superset workouts (where you do exercises back-to-back) gives about the same results for building strength, endurance, and muscle size as regular workouts over a few weeks.
See the scientific wording
Superset resistance training produces similar chronic adaptations in maximal strength (SMD=0.10, p=0.36), strength endurance (SMD=0.07, p=0.81), and muscle hypertrophy (SMD=-0.05, p=0.87) compared to traditional training over periods of several weeks in resistance-trained individuals.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at superset training and found it gives about the same strength and muscle growth as regular training, just like the claim says.
