hypertrofitraining
Hypertrofitraining refers to a form of resistance training aimed at increasing skeletal muscle size, or hypertrophy. It emphasizes creating conditions that promote muscle fiber growth through progressive overload, sufficient training volume, and adequate recovery. While closely related to strength training, hypertrofitraining concentrates on muscle size as the primary outcome, with strength gains often accompanying the growth.
Key principles include progressive overload, mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage as drivers of hypertrophy.
Program design commonly uses rep ranges around 6-12 per set, with total weekly volume per muscle group
Nutrition and recovery play essential roles. A modest caloric surplus supports growth, with protein intake generally
