Season 1 Episode 50
The source explores normal repetition drop-off during multiple sets in weightlifting, referencing a meta-analysis by Nuzzo that investigated how many repetitions lifters typically lose on subsequent sets when maintaining the same weight. It provides average percentage reductions for protocols ranging from four to six sets, suggesting that while there's some variability, set two typically yields around 70% of set one's reps, with a fatigue plateau appearing after approximately five sets. The text also discusses factors influencing these drop-offs, such as cardiovascular fitness and rest times, and offers guidance on whether to reduce weight or let repetitions drop for strength versus hypertrophy goals, noting that maintaining weight is often better for strength, whereas for hypertrophy, flexibility in load or pushing closer to failure can be beneficial.
