Gaining more from doing less? The effects of a one-week deload period during supervised resistance training on muscular adaptations

Deloading is a commonly applied strategy, although there’s little empirical evidence analyzing its effects in subsequent training cycles.
This study therefore aims to analyze whether including a one-week deload period influences muscle growth, strength, endurance, and power, compared to a continuous training approach.

Exploring the Dose-Response Relationship Between Estimated Resistance Training Proximity to Failure, Strength Gain, and Muscle Hypertrophy: A Series of Meta-Regressions

One parameter that recently gained interest in strength & hypertrophy training is proximity to failure. It describes when to end a set. This metaanalysis provides a more nuanced understanding of how different proximities to failure influence maximum strength and hypertrophy outcomes using meta-regressions.
