Neural
Significant decreases in peak velocity and mean velocity were found at 55% 1RM and 65% 1RM (p = 0.027 and p = 0.012 for peak velocity; p = 0.047 and p = 0.022 for mean velocity).
Trainers should be aware that velocity may decrease at certain loads during high-load training.

Significant decreases over time were found at 55% 1RM and 65% 1RM for peak velocity (p = 0.027 and p = 0.012, respectively) and mean velocity (p = 0.047 and p = 0.022, respectively).
