Hypertrophy Training Basics
People hear the word ‘hypertrophy’ and think of either one of two things:
- Bodybuilding
- What is hypertrophy?
In the article and video we prepared for this lesson, we discuss the basics of hypertrophy training, how and why to program it, the common misconceptions of the training, rep schemes, and the overall main considerations.
Hypertrophy training isn’t mindlessly doing 4 sets of 10-12 reps. It can be carefully programmed to maximize growth of tissue that can then be placed in a programming set up that uses the growth to build skill, strength, and power.
To maximize performance, hypertrophy training needs to be integrated into well-rounded program.
Tomorrow we will be discussing programming conditioning intelligently with minimal joint stress.
Until then,
