Many consider performing a set of exercises to the point of failure as ideal for optimizing muscle growth. This is because as muscles approach the point of failure, extra motor units are recruited, which provides an additional stimulus for the hypertrophy of more fibers. But this theory is also...

Muscle growth — sometimes known as hypertrophy — is the development of mass, density, shape, and function of muscle cells. This adaptation allows the muscle to meet exercise/function-induced stress. Muscle cells are sort of like a bunch of sticks bundled up for firewood. Myofibrils (“myo”...
some debate over whether or not it's absolutely critical for long-term muscle growth. Get out your microscopes. In this article, I'll take you deep into the muscle cells to look at how a muscle grows and investigate whether or not muscle damage is completely critical for muscle hypertrophy...

muscle and is a negative regulator of muscle growth. Mutations that inactivate the myostatin gene lead to a hypertrophic phenotype in a range of species, including humans, where a loss-of-function mutation in the myostatin gene was found in a child withmuscle hypertrophy[19]. Myostatin mutations...
Ever wondered about the scientific name for muscle growth? You probably guessed it by now but yes… it’s called“muscle hypertrophy”. There are potentially two types of hypertrophy that you should be aware of –Sarcoplasmic (fluid and glycogen increase) andmyofibrillar hypertrophy(myofibril size...
