Progression of relative intensity, i.e. repetition maximum (RM), and number of sets per exercise session throughout the 20 week training period. Notice that RM was decreased, i.e. the relative intensity increased, while the number of sets was slightly increased, but in an undulating fashion, during the training period. Data points represent weekly mean values of all sets and exercises from the training diaries of the training group (n = 282).
