Interesting research review that examines a study that not only tracked strength differences but also mass differences on identical regimens of squats (only differing in sets performed) with three groups of previously trained lifters. The results are pretty interesting. Not that I’m strongly considering switching to squatting 8×8 two times a week, but doing 5×5 three times a week might be an option once I’m back from this next trip.

Which is Better for Increasing Strength: 1, 4 or 8 Sets Per Exercise?
