Having dabbled in a couple different exercise disciplines, I’d encourage very small updates to your priors from this study. Every bodybuilder knows that you have to push to failure and rest a lot between sets. The term for low-intensity or unrested lifting is “junk volume.” Every runner knows that 80% of your volume should be easy. It’s called “80/20 training.” Every CrossFit bro knows you need both intensity and volume - and maximizing that over time is what’s important. They all work, but in different ways + for different reasons. There’s lots of studies that try to break the mold. Usually, they’re limited by the impracticality of a large N, or perfect adherence, or exogenous factors, or avoiding hype. It’s a limitation of the field. It just means things will go slower. Don’t worry too much about any one study.
