Abstract:This study investigated how equipment and sex affect the prediction accuracy of
the maximum number of repetitions performed to failure (RTF) using the fastest

completed four sessions (two using free-weight equipment and two sessions using
the Smith machine). Each session involved three sets of repetitions to failure
against the 65%, 75%, and 85% … Show more
