Resistance training beyond momentary failure: the effects of past-failure partials on muscle hypertrophy in the gastrocnemius by Stian Larsen, Paul Alan Swinton, Nordis Østerås Sandberg, Benjamin Sandvik Kristiansen, Andrea Bao Fredriksen, Hallvard Nygaard Falch, Roland van den Tillaar, Milo Wolf

“…The results identified an ATE favouring the inclusion of additional partial repetitions (0.62 [95%CrI: 0.21–1.0 mm; p(>0) = 0.998]) with ‘strong’ evidence (BF = 13.3) supporting a priori hypothesis. Therefore, when the goal is to train for maximum gastrocnemius hypertrophy over a relatively short time period, we suggest performing sets beyond momentary failure as a likely superior option.…”
