Muscle strength adaptations
However, there were no C × T interactions for squat 1RM (low‐RIR: 127 ± 45 kg to 138 ± 46 kg, high‐RIR: 125 ± 41 kg to 134 ± 42 kg, To account for potential sex differences, strength metrics were also normalized by body mass. Again, no C × T interactions existed for relative squat strength (low‐RIR: 1.63 ± 0.42 to 1.77 ± 0.41, high‐RIR: 1.56 ± 0.23 to 1.66 ± 0.24, Muscle strength adaptations. All figures show pre and post values for respective lifts, divided by the individuals body mass (kg). (a) Back squat, (b) bench press, and (c) deadlift. Values are presented as mean ± SD. Individual responses also illustrated, with open circles indicating females, and open squares indicating males. Pre, 7 days before the 6‐week training intervention. Post, 48 h following the last training bout.
