This isn't news. Any coach worth his weight in salt knows what to advise their athletes when they see this happen
Also the control gruop only tested 1-rep max, which no one actually uses to measure strength gains (except in weightlifting/powerlifting competitions) as they are so dangerous:
This study explored the effects of velocity-based training (VBT) on maximal strength and jump height. Sixteen trained men (22.8 ± 4.5 years) completed a countermovement jump (CMJ) test and 1 repetition maximum (1RM) assessment on back squat, bench press, strict overhead press, and deadlift, before and after 6 weeks of resistance training.
Basically: For best results, adjust the working weight of your lifts based on how you feel. Too light? Add more weight. Too heavy? Remove weight.
