Thanks! To be honest I wasn’t nearly as systematic as I would’ve liked. I did keyword searches on Google Scholar and PubMed for resistance training and weight training. On PubMed, I specifically looked for review articles and meta-analysis in one search just to look for big picture studies, but as you can see, results were a bit sparse so I also just searched generally for any articles I could find.
I’m trying to get better at this process (ask a question, research the answer), and I’m in the early phases. Future goals include 1) having a more systematic search process to avoid bias (i guess in theory the results above could be heavily biased if I just didn’t know to use certain search terms), 2) getting into the nitty gritty and actually critiquing studies and meta-analysis themselves (I just trusted blindly here, which is fine for now but it would be cool to get better at parsing methods)
