Studies have shown that such rep patterns coupled with loads that are at least 65 %
of your 1RM optimize the
hypertrophic response.
Still, since the volume
of training was greater for the
hypertrophic regime, the stronger anabolic
response could be caused by the greater total volume and not the longer TUT.
The best attempt is a recent study by Hulmi et al. which reported that the anabolic
response after a
hypertrophic (5 sets
of 10 reps) resistance training regime was greater than the one following a maximal strength (15 sets
of 1 rep) resistance training regime.
There's been a lot
of debate whether increasing the time under tensions triggers greater muscle gains, but the majority
of studies support this claim under various discoveries: • The cross-section area
of the slow - twitch type muscle fibers is greatly increased, which leads to maximal stimulation
of these type I fibers since they possess a high level
of fatigue threshold, which also promotes an increased
hypertrophic response.
Due to an absence
of data, it is not clear whether training muscle groups more than 3 days per week might enhance the
hypertrophic response.
Many studies have confirmed it is the lowering
of weights, not the lifting, that is responsible for the
hypertrophic response.
But that is what creates the extreme
hypertrophic response that this type
of training is known for.
First, there are other ways
of blunting
hypertrophic response to typical gym training (sets
of 6 - 12 reps close to failure with low rest time): taking NSAID and ice / cold therapies will decrease post training inflammation and, likely, muscle damage.
