Summary
This study looked at 30 healthy, experienced weightlifters to see if training based on movement speed (velocity-based training) is better for building muscle and strength than training based on a fixed percentage of your maximum weight (percent-based training). Researchers measured muscle size and nerve activity to understand how each method works. The goal was to find out which approach leads to better results.
