Explained
Research has shown that both increasing load and increasing reps can lead to significant gains in muscle mass, and the choice between the two may depend on individual preferences and training goals.
Context for Assertion

Evidence for Assertion
Why relevant:
Why true:The study found that both increasing load and increasing reps led to significant gains in muscle mass through a randomized controlled trial.
How it is true:The study conducted a randomized controlled trial and found no significant differences between the two groups, indicating that increasing load or reps can be equally effective for building muscle.
ELI5
- The study tested the effect of increasing load and increasing reps on muscle growth.
- The results showed that both groups had significant gains in muscle mass.
- This means that increasing load or reps can be equally effective for building muscle.
