Study on the effects of fatigue-acquated training on hypertrophy

A realistic research study could compare the effects of fatigue-acquated training on hypertrophy. One group would train at a 2-3 RIR or 3-4 RIR the entire time for eight weeks, while another group would train to failure every session. The volume between the groups would be adjusted to maintain similar fatigue levels. This study could provide insights into the effectiveness of failure training and the optimal level of fatigue for hypertrophy.
