It seems there are a group of researchers questioning the adage that load is necessarily to elicit hypertrophic or strength gains.
I understand this is the old HIT vs periodization debate - here's some recent research articles favoring the 'to failure' group, and that they cite meta analyses of major findings in fitness are often flawed.
In reading through these papers - I don't see them taking on Wernbom which is interesting.
