    Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control group (CG). The CG maintained regular strength training without perform any upper body exercises. The participants performed a dumbbell biceps curl for two days per week for 12 weeks 4 sets of 3 blocks of 10 repetitions at 75%, 55%, and 35% of their 1 Repetition Maximum (RM) for the DS group, and 8 sets of 11 repetitions at 75% of the 1RM for the TR protocol. Rest interval between sets was 120 seconds for both groups. The MT was acquired in the anterior face of both upper arms at 50% and 60% of the distance between the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the acromial process of the scapula before (T0) and after the 24 training sessions (T1). Results There was a significant increase in all MT measurements between T0 and T1for the training groups(p<0.05). In addition, significantly higher values of MT were found in the training groups compared to the control group for all local measurements in T1 (p<0.05). No significant differences were found between training the groups for MT. Conclusion It appears that both training groups (DS and TR), were effective in promoting MT of the elbow flexors muscles of young women with no differences between training strategies.

  • Elbow Flexor Adaptations to Failure Versus Repetitions-in-Reserve Training: A Unilateral Within-Participant Study in Resistance-Trained Adults

    This study compared elbow flexor hypertrophy and maximal strength adaptations after eight weeks of resistance training performed either to momentary muscular failure or with 1–3 repetitions in reserve (RIR). Nineteen resistance-trained adults completed a unilateral within-participant protocol in which one arm trained to failure and the contralateral arm trained with 1–3 RIR. Participants trained twice weekly using the unilateral preacher curl exercise at 70–80% one-repetition maximum (1RM). Elbow flexor muscle thickness and 1RM strength were assessed before and after the intervention. Bayesian mixed-effects models estimated between-condition differences. Both protocols increased muscle thickness and 1RM strength. The estimated between-condition differences for muscle thickness were 0.032 cm (95% highest density interval [HDI]: −0.044 to 0.113) while the estimated difference in 1RM strength was 0.588 kg (85% HDI: −0.491 to 1.66), with both 95% HDIs spanning zero and including values favoring either protocol. Sex-specific analyses showed the same general patter of responses. Overall, resistance training performed with 1–3 RIR produces similar elbow flexor hypertrophy and maximal strength adaptations to training performed to momentary muscular failures under the loading and volume conditions examined.
