Before revision: In this study, participants who trained to failure with a weight equal to 30 per cent of their single repetition maximum (1RM) had higher levels of muscle-building proteins 24 hours after their training session than participants who trained to failure with a weight that was 90 per cent of their maximum.Low-Load High Volume Resistance Exercise Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis More Than High-Load Low Volume Resistance Exercise in Young Men Initial failure When the athlete has reached initial failure (i.e.
