Hi all. This one was recently posted over at Lyle's forum, anyone got any comment on the findings? Seems interesting.

Link to the study, by any chance?

These were untrained individuals so even the lightest load would provide enough stimulus for their muscles to grow, over the longer term I think the results would be quite different.

Unfortunately no, I haven't been able to track down the full text.

You can always give 30% RM a try for 6 weeks. I think the untrained participants had something to do with it. There are other studies showing the same with "recreationally active" participants, whatever that means. If its ever shown that 30%RM works with competitive athletes I'll maybe believe it. Look into the concept of training age if you want to learn more.
