Holley, Alex C. Schrautemeier, James L. Tice, Joshua Iannotti, Joesi M. Krieger, Connor J. Gaige, Wyatt B. McLaughlin, Ralf Jäger, Chad M. Kerksick

“…Work capacity (WC) was assessed by having each participant complete three sets of standardized loading (70% 1RM × 10 repetitions) followed by two sets of maximal repetitions at 80% 1RM with 2 minutes of rest between each set. 4 × 3 mixed factorial ANOVA with repeated measures was used to evaluate differences. A p-value of 0.05 was used to establish statistical significance and trends were considered if p-values were between 0.05 and 0.10.Results Consistent increases in HBDL (7.5–12.2%), BP (7.2–10.9%), and WC (14.1–26.9%) were observed in all groups after the 8-week program resulting in statistically significant main effects of time (p < 0.001) for all variables. …”
