[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 93039, member: 2624"] Researchers in Brazil divided 89 young women, who had not previously trained with weights, over three groups. All groups trained their biceps twice a week for 10 weeks. [LIST] [*]The first group made 3 sets, and trained to failure [RF]. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]The second group made 4 sets of 7 reps, and did not train to failure [NRFV]. Because of the extra set, the training volume in this group was equal to that of the first group. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]The third group also did not train to failure, but made no more than 3 sets [NRF]. [/LIST] [B]Results[/B] The 1RM - the weight with which the women could just make 1 rep - increased in all groups. The researchers found no differences between the groups.
