Hi ,
The third set of high-rep squats just gives you this amazing feeling.
Your legs burn.
Your heart rate shoots up.
You're out of breath.
Your PT asks you to squat lower.
You wonder: "Why am I doing this to myself?"
And now on top of that, you should also do cardio training?
A 2024 study explains part of that feeling.
Researchers tested 22 young, resistance-trained men doing 5 sets of 10 squats at 65% of their 1-rep max. They rested 3 minutes between sets.
