Only the traditional exercise order (MJ-SJ) resulted in a significant increase in mid-thigh thickness, with an increase of +7.2%.
To maximize mid-thigh hypertrophy, practitioners should consider starting with multi-joint exercises.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Only the MJ-SJ group presented an increase in mid-thigh thickness from pre- to post-training (MJ-SJ = +7.2%, SJ-MJ = +3.9%).
Why this rating
