does that happen for weightlifters? (the muscle off bone thing)
just recycling info here and correct me if I'm wrong but people said in the anticrossfit threads that high rep compound lifts = greater injury risk because of form suffering when you get tired.
This may be true, however, anecdotally I've found it's much easier to reliably train to the point of fatigue at heavier weights for lower reps than with lighter weights and higher reps, especially on lower body compound movements (not as big an issue for me with upper body and isolation exercises). Training to fatigue with light weights (relative to 1RM) can often be a much harder task that training to fatigue at a high percentage of 1RM. I'd also note that in my observations of the bodybuilding world, "lift heavy" tends to mean relative to your RM in that rep range, not so much your 1RM. So the "light" sets in the study would still be considered "heavy," because they're taken to fatigue and so not much more weight could have been lifted for the 30 rep sets.
If that was the case everyone would only do singles
