Hypertrophy


Hypertrophy means muscle increase. To specify: type 2 muscle fibres become thicker.

To reach a maximum of hypertrophy you have to tire as many muscle fibres as possible.

Because of a strong fatigue of all of your muscle fibres your body is in distress.
Your body has to react here because it always builds a back-up. The reaction is a growth impulse, sent from the brain to the muscles.

The more muscle fibres you tire simultaneously, the more you stimulate muscle growth.

The emphasis here is on “simultaneously”.

At first the 2B -> 2X -> 2A fibres get tired to finally tire the type 1 fibres.

How is this basic knowledge converted into HIT and volume training? The answer follows in the next chapter.
