Claims (4)
This claim says that taking short breaks during sets or dropping weight between sets are useful training tricks for certain situations.
When people who regularly lift weights push their muscles until they can't do any more reps, their ability to jump high drops more right after than if they stopped before getting tired. This means their muscles and nerves are more worn out.
When people who lift weights for fun push themselves until their muscles can't do any more reps, they feel more tired and worn out compared to when they stop earlier.
When people who lift weights for fun do a special kind of workout called rest-pause training until they can't do any more, their ability to jump high gets worse 30 minutes later compared to doing regular workouts until failure.
