The effect of rest interval length on bench press performance with heavy vs. light loadsJeffrey M Willardson
Physical Education Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois 61920, USA
J Strength Cond Res 20:396-9. 2006..The ability to sustain repetitions while keeping the intensity constant may result in a higher training volume and consequently greater gains in muscular strength...- The effect of rest interval length on the sustainability of squat and bench press repetitionsJeffrey M Willardson
Physical Education Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois 61920, USA
J Strength Cond Res 20:400-3. 2006..These results suggest that when short rest intervals are used to develop muscular endurance, the intensity should be lowered over subsequent sets to sustain repetitions within the range conducive to this training goal... 
A comparison of trunk muscle activation: Ab Circle vs. traditional modalitiesJeffrey M Willardson
Department of Kinesiology and Sports Studies, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois, USA
J Strength Cond Res 24:3415-21. 2010..This was particularly evident for the side bridge exercise, which elicited significantly greater activity of the RA vs. the Ab Circle levels 1 and 2, and elicited similar activity of the EO, LASs, and LES at all 3 Ab Circle levels...- The effect of different rest intervals between sets on volume components and strength gainsJeffrey M Willardson
Kinesiology and Sports Studies Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois, USA
J Strength Cond Res 22:146-52. 2008.... - Effect of surface stability on core muscle activity for dynamic resistance exercisesJeffrey M Willardson
Kinesiology and Sports Studies Department, Eastern Illinois Univeristy, Charleston, IL, USA
Int J Sports Physiol Perform 4:97-109. 2009..To compare core muscle activity during resistance exercises performed on stable ground vs. the BOSU Balance Trainer... - The application of training to failure in periodized multiple-set resistance exercise programsJeffrey M Willardson
Physical Education Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois 61920, USA
J Strength Cond Res 21:628-31. 2007..Therefore, the training status and the goals of the lifter should guide the decision-making process on this issue... - Research note: effect of load reductions over consecutive sets on repetition performanceJeffrey M Willardson
Human Performance Laboratory, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois, USA
J Strength Cond Res 24:879-84. 2010..the 15% condition (p < 0.05). In summary, the back squat and leg curl required 15% load reductions per set to maintain repetition performance. Conversely, load reductions were not necessary for the leg extension... - Effect of short-term failure versus nonfailure training on lower body muscular enduranceJeffrey M Willardson
Department of Kinesiology and Sports Studies, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, IL, USA
Int J Sports Physiol Perform 3:279-93. 2008..This study compared failure versus nonfailure training with equated intensity and volume on lower body muscular endurance in trained men... - A brief review: factors affecting the length of the rest interval between resistance exercise setsJeffrey M Willardson
Physical Education Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, IL 61920, USA
J Strength Cond Res 20:978-84. 2006..Prescribing the appropriate rest interval does not ensure a desired outcome if other components such as intensity and volume are not prescribed appropriately... - Core stability training: applications to sports conditioning programsJeffrey M Willardson
Physical Education Department, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois 61920, USA
J Strength Cond Res 21:979-85. 2007.... - The effect of load reductions on repetition performance for commonly performed multijoint resistance exercisesJeffrey M Willardson

J Strength Cond Res 26:2939-45. 2012..Practitioners might apply these results by considering an approximate 10% load reduction after the first and second sets for the exercises examined, when training women of similar characteristics as in this study... - A comparison of 3 different rest intervals on the exercise volume completed during a workoutJeffrey M Willardson
Department of Exercise and Wellness, Arizona State University, Mesa, Arizona 85212, USA
J Strength Cond Res 19:23-6. 2005..The ability to perform a higher volume of training with a given load may stimulate greater strength adaptations... - Predicting a 10 repetition maximum for the free weight parallel squat using the 45 degrees angled leg pressJeffrey M Willardson
Department of Exercise and Wellness, Arizona State University East, Mesa 85212, USA
J Strength Cond Res 18:567-71. 2004..310) + 19.438 kg, and (c) subject pool squat mass = leg press mass (0.354) + 2.235 kg. These prediction equations may save time and reduce the risk of injury when switching from the leg press to the squat exercise...
