The Claim
In trained males, strength-type and hypertrophy-type resistance workouts are associated with significantly greater elevations in blood lactate concentration (+3.65 mmol/L and +6.02 mmol/L, respectively) compared to cluster-type workouts, indicating higher metabolic stress in traditional training regimens.
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 trained men do certain types of weightlifting workouts, their bodies produce more lactic acid compared to other workout styles, which means their muscles are working harder and under more stress.

Strength-type and hypertrophy-type resistance workouts are associated with significantly greater elevations in blood lactate concentration (+3.65 mmol/L and +6.02 mmol/L respectively) compared to cluster-type workouts in trained males, indicating higher metabolic stress in traditional training regimens.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that traditional strength and muscle-building workouts caused much higher lactate (a sign of workout stress) than cluster workouts, exactly as the claim said.
