3 sets of repeated chair stands (5 or 10 reps per set), 3 times per week. Sound feasible? Over 8 weeks, this was enough to improve: Muscle thickness: ⬆️8-9% Muscle quality index: ⬆️40-45% Relative sit-to-stand power: ⬆️29-38% Resistance training doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective. peerj.com/articles/15665/
