Since
increasing mechanical tension means working with heavier loads, progressive overload is the way to go for more muscle.
If you're looking to enhance protein synthesis, you need to
increase the mechanical tension placed on the muscle, and this can be achieved by training in the following pattern: 5 sets x 5 reps, 120 seconds rest

As far as research tells us, muscle growth is caused by the combined effects of high levels of
mechanical tension and
increased metabolic stress, with muscle contractions during resistance training as the third most important contributor to anabolism.
EDT subjects your muscle to

However, it is possible to tweak your Power Clean workouts by including Cluster Sets to
increase time under
tension, while maintaining proper Power Clean technique and sufficient
mechanical load on the muscles to set a hypertrophic stimulus.
