The risks of hypertrophy training and strength training are similar. Both types of exercise place a lot of stress on your muscles, resulting in fatigue and soreness. This can be especially true when you’re just starting out with either type of training, but it’s important to know that if...
Where training for hypertrophy tends to revolve around targeting individual muscles and muscle groups, strength training focuses more on movements. That’s because most feats of strength involve specific exercises, such as the squat, bench press, deadlift, or overhead press. Strength athletes still u...
Other training variables such as volume-load, inter-set rest, and time under tension have negligible effects on RET-induced changes in muscle size or strength. We conclude that an uncomplicated, evidence-based approach to optimizing RET-induced changes in muscle size and strength follows the FITT...
What is hypertrophy in strength training?Exercise:Exercise is a series of physical activities which people engage in to improve the strength and fitness of their bodies. It is highly known to lengthen lifespans and often recommended by health professionals....
barely recover from for this muscle if you prioritize its training and reduce the training for other muscles substantially, giving the primarily prioritized muscle more resources via which to recover from and benefit from more training. Doing more than this would cause worse results than doing less...

Hypertrophy training can benefit all clients and athletes. Not only does an increase in muscle mass affect strength, but it influences performance and prevents injury. As a trainer, it's important to know how to maximize muscle gain to help clients achi.
An upper lower split is one of the most effective and enjoyable training routines, plus it has many benefits. It’s time-saving, less taxing on the body, and is a welcome change from most splits and full-body regimes. But there’s a right way to do it and to save you the trouble...

stronger. The high rep, lower weight training ofBODYPUMP™utilizes time under tension and fatigue to generate muscular adaptation. This has been shown to generate a lactate response and a subsequent increase in growth hormone. In short, BODYPUMP is a fantastic complement to your strength training...
