TLDR
When low to high intensities of RT are performed with volume-matched, all intensities were effective for increasing muscle strength and size; however, 20% 1RM was suboptimal in this regard, and only the heavier RT intensity was shown superior for increasing strength and CSA compared to low intensities.
