HYPERTROPHY

If your goal is to put on muscle, then this is the program for you. This program was designed to prioritise muscle development and size by utilising a variety of hypertrophy focussed exercises and an array of medium to high rep ranges. Don’t worry, you will still see increases in strength, but the focus will be on maximising muscle growth.

So why should you follow a hypertrophy specific program?

Hypertrophy Specific Exercises: Not all exercises are created equal. While most exercises will grow muscle if training appropriately, there will always be certain movements which are better suited for the job. These are movements that create the maximum amount of stimulus without creating excessive fatigue. This program puts the focus on these.

Hypertrophy Specific Rep Ranges: Studies have shown that muscle growth occurs in a wide variety of rep ranges (6-20 reps), so while there will be a few movements we take towards lower rep ranges, the majority will still be in the higher ranges to maximise muscle growth.

In order to get the most out of this training program it’s best to prioritise high quality reps without sacrificing technique. Muscle growth is maximised when training intensity is high and paired with proper exercise execution. As plenty of the rep schemes will be in a higher range (10-20) with an emphasis on isolation exercises, pushing close to failure is advised for best progress.
