HYPERTROPHY IN BODYBUILDING 2!

The points i explain below are the important points which are needed to be kept in mind when training for hypertrophy.

1. Utilizing lactic acid as stimulus for tendon repair/health: The studies shows that the intake of lactic acid makes the muscles and tendons prepared for future heavy loads. This serves as "regular maintenance". Without it, you increase your risk of chronic injuries and pain. The metabolically-taxing reps enhance healing of strained tendons.

2. Compound Exercises: Use of compound exercises maximize the effects of loading on muscles as much as possible per exercise.

3. Progressively Adjusting Reps to accommodate progressive load: Of course, you could adjust your reps every week (eg: 15,12,10,8,5, etc), but this is more complicated and people might not understand. Often times, in order to communicate an idea you must simplify things, even at the expense of perfection. If people can't understand it, they won't do it. What good would that do or anybody? Then, over time, people figure out for themselves the other possibilities that exist within the principles of hypertrophy.

4. Low volume per exercise (average volume per week): Books suggest that you limit the number of sets per exercise per workout to 1 or 2. This is based on some evidence that sets beyond the first effective set do little more than more than burn calories.
