Decoded: How lifting heavy weights boosts muscle strength

Lifting heavy weights may help you enhance your muscle strength more than light weight training because the nervous system facilitates improvements in strength during high-load training, researchers suggests. The findings showed that despite similar increases in muscle thickness, high-load training may be superior for enhancing muscle strength than low-load training.

The study had aimed at how our brains and neuron system works with heavy and light weight lifting, Despite the increase in the muscle thickness was similar in both the cases but heavy load lifting is more superior in increasing muscles strength.

“If you’re trying to increase strength — whether you’re a gym rat or an athlete — training with high loads is going to result in greater strength adaptations,” said Nathaniel Jenkins, assistant professor at the Oklahoma State University.

“High-load training is more efficient” and “it’s more time-efficient. We’re seeing greater strength adaptations. And now we’re seeing greater neural adaptations,” Jenkins added.
