The Claim
Women complete a higher number of total repetitions than men during bench press training at 75% one-repetition maximum with one-minute rest intervals across four sets, indicating greater resistance to fatigue under time-constrained conditions.
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.
In bench press exercises performed at 75% of maximum strength with one-minute breaks between sets, women perform more total repetitions than men across four sets.
See the scientific wording
During bench press training at 75% one-repetition maximum with one-minute rest intervals, women complete a higher number of total repetitions than men across four sets, indicating greater resistance to fatigue under time-constrained conditions.
Women's muscles recover energy faster between sets because they refill their quick-energy stores more quickly and use oxygen more efficiently, letting them do more reps before getting tired.
What the research says
1 studyWhen men and women lifted the same weight with only one minute of rest between sets, women were able to do more reps overall, meaning they got tired slower. This shows women have better endurance in this type of workout.
