with the full range of motion, then shortening it as you start to fail and continuing the movement
for as long as possible.
However, there seems to be a threshold beyond which slowing down the lifting speed has negative influence on
hypertrophy — when reps last
for 10 seconds or longer, the amount of weight you can lift is dramatically reduced, resulting

for increasing high - velocity strength (Pareja - Blanco et al. 2015).
Some people think they can trigger
hypertrophy with high volume heavy lifting, because the longer you lift, the more you exhaust the fast twitch fibers and switch over to the medium and slow twitch fibers (the ones that have the greatest potential
for size increase).
Similarly, when training
for hypertrophy, you won't be training
with enough absolute intensity to gain strength, but it will be sufficiently intense to maintain your current strength levels.
Short term studies of muscle
hypertrophy with untrained or lightly trained subjects is not the best way, in my opinion, to evaluate the long term effectiveness of a strength training program because a) the study is too short to form a long term conclusion, b) untrained and lightly trained subjects gain muscle from any resistance training (
for example, I, as a young non-exercising man, gained 20 lbs of muscle in my first 4 months in the Army by doing nothing but high rep calisthenics, running, and road marching) and c) muscle
hypertrophy is not a great proxy (substitute)
for determining actual long term strength gains.

with an example of a functional
hypertrophy workout
for the lower body, and then one

With the example of the Front Squat and the goal being to ultimately Front Squat heavier, you need to prioritize the Front Squat in your training and have a program where you go through different phases, for example start with a phase of four weeks targeting functional hypertrophy, followed by a phase of four weeks targeting strength development and finish with a phase of four weeks working on maximum stren

For hypertrophy: Do mostly moderate rep / intensity training
with some heavier, lower reps and lighter, higher rep training mixed in.
The magic zone
for hypertrophy appears to be sets of 6 - 12 reps.. This is because it strikes a good balance between a load that is heavy enough to tap into all muscle fibres,
with one that creates a high amount muscle damage and metabolic stress (something that isn't possible
with very light or very heavy loads).
And, because we are concerned
with hypertrophy, a low rep tri-set method is well indicated

Even speed work should be done sparingly, and utilized much like sprint cycling, though
with the understanding that it is not a substitute
for leg
hypertrophy work.
To go even further, our fast twitch fibers can be classified as either Type IIX or Type IIB.11 Fast twitch fibers show a greater capacity
for hypertrophy than slow twitch fibers, therefore it may be wise to incorporate faster repetition training to maximize this capacity.4 Maximal speed is regarded as a short lasting adaptation, therefore if we wish to keep our bar speed up, we must train
with fast bar speed frequently.8 This will have a nice carry over effect to the amount of weight we are able to lift, the amount of work we are able to perform in a condensed amount of time, and ultimately will increase the efficiency of our training.
Although utilizing tempo training may produce comparative gains in
hypertrophy to normal tempo training, we must also consider how using less weight
for cadence affects our strength gains.6 As we discussed earlier, our strength gains have a nice carry over effect to
hypertrophy, and by connecting the dots together, one could surmise that it would be wise to train
with faster concentrics and disregard tempo training to make the pieces of the puzzle fit together.
The catch 22 of
hypertrophy training is that working
with percentages that frequently drop below 60 % of the 1RM may not necessarily be optimal
for strength gains.5 Therefore, strength gains aren't as consistent
with higher reps, and now we have a problem.
