Excerpt
Marshall et al. (
2011) recently published the results of a comprehensive strength training study investigating the effect of the number of sets used in each training session on muscle function, hypertrophy and activation [assessed by electromyography (EMG)] in men with previous weight training experience [mean squat lift load = 159.9 kg (1.9 × body mass)]. Squat lift training was performed at 80% of 1 RM to exhaustion twice weekly for 6 weeks, then a combination of heavier (4–12 RM) and lighter, explosive (e.g. jump squat) exercises were performed for 4 weeks. The results were very interesting, revealing that the performance of eight sets of exercises was superior to one and four sets for muscle strength improvement in their cohort. …
