From: Influence of Resistance Training Proximity-to-Failure, Determined by Repetitions-in-Reserve, on Neuromuscular Fatigue in Resistance-Trained Males and Females

Fig. 4

Relationship between proximity-to-failure and acute neuromuscular fatigue. Data shown are expressed as a percentage decrease in lifting velocity with a fixed load from pre-exercise to 4 min post-exercise (displayed as a positive value to indicate an increase in neuromuscular fatigue) in response to six sets performed on the barbell bench press exercise to either momentary muscular failure (FAIL), 1-RIR, or 3-RIR. Accompanying SD values can be found in Table 3. *Denotes a statistically significant difference from female participants
