Specific tension is not really an argument for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Muscles become more inefficient at contraction as they grow further away from the bone (larger). It's also unsurprising power athletes have way better neural pathways for contracting harder. The study comparing 90% 1RM with 30% 1RM is more relevant, though pointless, since as you said it's not a long term analysis, as well as the fact that sarcoplasm percentage has been estimated to be a small proportion of the muscle anyways (estimates range from

As I go to higher rep ranges my 1rm decreases because I'm not training for it, but when I go back to powerlifting and train with lower rep ranges my strength goes back up and I end up stronger. The whole it's a skill and had to be trained for me is likely the confounding factor.

The swelling may die down as you continue training with high volumes week after week anyway. But in those first few weeks, cell swelling may very much be present. In fact, in one of the studies finding sarcoplasmic hypertrophy by Haun et al. (it can be seen in the table here: 14:46 ), I think it's possible their "sarcoplasmic hypertrophy" was more so swelling as the study was only 6 weeks and they found large decreases in myofibril relative space (30%), which was much more versus the other studies.

The whole "hard vs puffy" muscle appearance may have more to do with residual muscle tension (aka muscle tone) than the structure of the muscle. Basically, your muscles are always partially flexed, and residual muscle tension is just an indicator of how much they're flexed at rest.

Another study showed that performing ONE eccentric 3s repetition once a day, five days a week, during four weeks, increases isometric, concentric and eccentric strength, , but doesn't produce hypertrophy.

Why not both? This is what I love about the Bioneer's approach. It's focused on function over aesthetics, but of course form follows function. It will make you bigger. It focuses primarily on strength endurance, but it trains your muscles in basically all the ways you can. Start with overcoming isometrics. Then mechanical drop sets, aiming for a number of reps that's 20~50 or more depending on the exercise. But I try to do the hardest exercise I can (might be plyometric, or advanced calisthenics like planche pushups), and I often end up able to do only do a number of reps that's in the strength range, like 6 or less. Then immediately switch to an easier progression or different exercise that works the same muscles and do as many as you can, which for me often ends up being in exactly the bodybuilder rep range. Then switch to an even easier version etc until you can complete a total target number of reps that's in the strength endurance range. Only 2 sets, but then you'll do several others that use basically the same muscles in different ways. And finish the workout with a quasi-isometric, like a 1-minute long pushup. So you'll have done lots of different exercises and trained at every point on the force-velocity curve, having done strength, hypertrophy, and endurance. Strength endurance is often overlooked because everyone wants to look more buff, but an argument to made that it's more useful everyday strength than your one-rep max, is better for your connective tissues etc. But with this approach, you can do all the kinds of strength training in way that's interesting and fun with a lot of variety, in a workout that takes a little over an hour. If you want to be a powerlifter or bodybuilder of course, then train for that. But if you want overall fitness and athleticism, longevity, everyday functional strength etc, and want a better physique but aren't desperate to look like the Hulk, I think it pays to be a jack of all trades.

I co-sign this, it’s been my secret sauce. I’m fat now trying to lose weight, but when I was lean, I was huge as the juicers and half as strong on the strong lifts, because I used serge nubrets pump method of training. Very light weights, done very fast, with very little rest between sets. The secret is, you never go to failure, you’re hitting hundreds of reps per muscle group per session, and I added in 5 pounds or 2.5 pounds to exercises when I could do the 8x12-15 reps or the 6x12-15 reps with a rest of only 30-60 seconds. If you cannot complete the reps it’s too heavy to get a proper pump, if you cannot get the pump, You won’t get the results. You will never hurt yourself training like this, you will get stronger just slower, you will build a very aesthetic full muscle, and your conditioning will be through the roof! Just keep your diet under control if you’re a natty, because you’ll want to eat everything if you actually hit it 6 days a week 2 splits a day. Modify nubrets program, some of those exercises have been long since debunked, so replace them with solid ones. Good will hunting brothers in gainz 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!

I think that what probably matters the most is how close to failure someone is training rather than the rep range as long as it’s less than 20 or 25 reps. Henneman’s size principle and increasing tension per rep until failure will recruit all muscle fibers. I think there’s more to it than this but simplified I don’t think there is such thing as dense muscle. Maybe matured muscle that’s been through the ringer.

So I reduced the weight, increased the reps and just focused on being able to lift weights long term.

What I’ve never understood is why we try and limit ourselves to one rep range. It becomes like a competition. This rep range is “better than” the other rep range. Almost like we then miss the woods from the trees, as the saying goes. We can, it has been proven, that we can make gains using almost any rep range. It depends on the muscle group being trained and the ratio of slow twitch to fast twitch muscle fibres as to the possible rep range which would be best for a particular muscle group. Everyone is different, however the point I’m making is surely it makes more sense to train with a variety of rep ranges, changing things from month to month, week to week or even workout to workout. Rather than deciding that say 6-10 reps is best and never straying from it. I’ve certainly found I’ve benefited greatly from implementing a wide variety of rep ranges from strength training in 1-3 rep ranges to conditioning, such as 30 reps even higher. Basically getting the full benefits of all rep ranges and improving greatly from it. Just my two cents.

This reminds me of the myth that environment draws people to their chosen field. When studied, rather than a child enjoying reading because their parents read to them often, in fact what was happening is parents were very in tune to what their children enjoyed and hence the parents were actually providing a range of activites for their children to do, but the parents in fact were picking up on what the child was enjoying and then providing that stimulus to them more often. So the child didnt enjoy reading BECAUSE it got read to more often. Instead it showed enjoyment of being read to, as that was its born strength, language, and hence the parents then read to the child more often. Then the child goes on to become a writer or story teller etc. In this case, someone becomes a bodybuilder BECAUSE they realise they are very good at gaining size, likewise a powerlifter realises they are very good at gaining strength, without gaining size. Hence it is not the training stimulus creating the athlete, more the athlete was always going to be what they were going to be, or at least had the potential and just gravitate towards the training that gives them the better results. It does not mean we can replicate their training and enjoy their results. The powerlifter was born a powerlifter. The reader was born a reader. The bodybuilder was born a bodybuilder. The attributes were born into them. We cant always use the way the elite train to gain their attributes for ourselves. If anything I believe that within reason, in the rep ranges that seem to be effective, 3-30ish, training in the range that you gravitate towards will give you the best results, as far as myo vs sarco gains, based off of your predestined genetics. You will naturally gravitate towards what your muscles want. I myself cannot get a good workout in above ten reps. I simply cannot get close enough to failure or get enough sets in when my reps are higher. I just cant. 10 or below absolutely works best for me.

"Is it really possible for a normal person to train so much that it actually hinders their progress" - depends on what you consider "overtraining" and what you consider "progress". First, yes, it is very possible to train too much. Not that hard, actually, a lot of people can unknowingly do it. Second. Define progress. You can even train every day and have progress, but it doesn't mean it is the best time efficient method, and doesn't mean you will see that progress immediately. Usually if your frequency is too high your muscles are not repaired 100% every time you train, so if you wanted to see and measure the full extent of your "progress" after such type of training, you will need to rest eventually. Third. You will have a lot higher risk of getting overuse injury(tendonitis) if you overtrain unprepared. But, you can train a lot more the more you accustom your body(and especially tendons) to it. So in conclusion - highly depends on the person in question. Possible to overtrain? Very easy for most people. Training is a spectrum. The most (hypertrophy?) gains seems to be in the middle(just the right intensity/frequency), while undertraining and overtraining to some extent will also work, but not that great. If you go too far right(into the overtraining) you will either get injured or have no progress or even lose muscle(in worst case). But if you progressively up the intensity/frequency, a human body is capable of doing far more things than you can imagine. So if you really wanted to, you can go into the "overtraining" territory, without getting too far as to injuring yourself, but this is a hard thing to manage for little to no real benefit.

yeah id like to know as well, im new to the gym and have almost finished a 10 week block of doing full body three times a week, but i spend 2 and a half hours in the gym each session and feel im probably doing to much even though i do feel particularly over worked by the sessions, just satisfied with my effort etc. that being said i really dont know what im doing at this stage ? i am overweight at 112.5kgs and what seems to be happening is that the weight isnt really changing but i do feel new muscle seems to be growing all over my body and eating up the fat (im not calorie counting yet) . when this week finishes im going to take two weeks off and do lots of research on 4 day splits, as i really dont want to over do things if its actually detrimental to what im trying to achieve yeah ? it just feels like im not actually doing much when i cut the session down to 8-10 excercises so i just keep adding other stuff yeah lol

I've found myself personally/anecdotally over the decades training that there is a difference in 'quality' of muscle when lifting 4-8 reps vs 10-14 for the most part (meaning mostly one or the other) When training heavier I found that the muscle would stay around longer. meaning you could take longer rest periods between hitting it again without it feeling 'depleted' and even taking time away from the gym that muscle would retain 90% of it's size . Whereas with higher reps the quality of the muscle feels less stable in that it requires a bit more frequency and if taking time off from the gym size will diminish a lot faster

At around 7 minutes, the clip mentions that sarcoplasmic protein synthesis at 24 hours post-exercise was greater for the 30% of 1RM training vs 90% of 1RM training. What it fails to mention is that myofibrillar protein synthesis was also greater at 24 hours for the 30% of 1RM training vs 90% of 1RM in the same study by Burd et al in PLoS ONE 2010. Also, at 4 hours after resistance, only the 90% of 1RM training resulted in increased sarcoplasmic protein synthesis, while both 30% and 90% of 1RM resulted in increased myofibrillar protein synthesis at 4 hours. In other words, both protocols stimulated both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein synthesis. But if one looks at the figures in that paper, myofibrillar protein synthesis was stimulated to a much greater extent than sarcoplasmic protein synthesis with both the 30% of 1RM and the 90% of 1RM protocols. This would suggest predominantly myofibrillar hypertrophy rather than sarcoplasmic hypertrophy in the longer term in response to both protocols. Why is this not mentioned? Finally, too much has often been made out of a limited number of studies which claimed to be showing sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, but these have typically not considered the possible contributions of temporary swelling resulting from training-induced muscle damage and associated muscle fiber remodeling, which would tend to dilute the myofibrillar hypertrophy.

But that still does not explain why you did not mention the at least equally good results for the 30% of 1RM to failure protocol vs the 90% of 1RM to failure protocol with regard to myofibrillar vs sarocplasmic protein synthesis. If you really wanted to be factually correct, you should have mentioned these results around that time point (7 minutes) in the clip. And I did not see them mentioned anywhere in the clip. By omitting them but at the same time reporting the increase in sarcoplasmic protein synthesis, the overall impression from your presentation was that the 30% of 1RM protocol basically just stimulated sarcoplasmic and not myofibrillar hypertrophy. The result being that the average viewer would probably have bought that very message (as many have bought into the belief that high reps with low weights does not produce true myofibrillar hypertrophy) and not cared about the caveats that you included later.

@@incorectulpolitic The short answer is that heavy training (8RM or heavier, >80% of 1RM) is generally more effective in inducing strength gains. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000002585 Presumably, this is via greater adaptations in the central nervous system. For example, there are indications that maximum muscle activation increases with heavy resistance training, which may reflect one or more mechanisms (improved recruitment of motor units and/or firing rates). Technique/skill is also improved, as mentioned in this clip. On the other hand, ~20-30RM loads (including 30% or 1RM) are very effective for increasing strength-endurance, e.g. number of repetitions performed at 30-40% of 1RM. Possibly, via greater capillary supply and/or oxidative capacity. Needless to say, these lighter loads are much easier on the joints. Many of us who have lifted heavy for many years appreciate this. A case can thus be made for varying between these two types of training. And in fairness to the creator of this channel, I think he has argued for this in one of his clips.

Interesting comments below consistent with body building being primarily for a particular appearance, and for the particular type of strength measured by... lifting a weight once. For functional fitness (stamina activities like running, swimming, climbing, physical work and sports that keep you on the field more or less continuously for hours) higher reps appear much better. Long, high volume workouts are also somewhat aerobic of themselves. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy might just be an adaptation to increase muscle food (glycogen) stores within muscles next to the myofibrils.

Kind of connected to the subject but not entirely: So we know that rep ranges of 6-35 produce similar, optimal hypertrophy as long as performed to or close to failure. Let's say I can do 50 reps of an exercise before reaching failure, so the load is probably too low to produce optimal hypertrophy. If I decrease the speed so that the reps are harder and I can perform only 20 before failure, without increasing the load, would the hypertrophy produced be optimal then?
@HouseofHypertrophy Жыл бұрын
This is a great question, and it's very difficult to answer because the research has not really deciphered between rep numbers and rep tempo. Most studies finding 6 to 35 reps to be similar use a 1-2 second lifting and lowering tempo, so not very slow. In the example you're giving, I'm going to speculate BOTH 20 reps very slowly and 50 reps faster (assuming both are completed in the same time) are inferior. The reason for this is because CNS fatigue seems to be more so related to the duration of exercise (contrary to popular belief), so given both take the same time to complete and are much longer in duration than typical 6-35 reps sets with faster tempos, the CNS fatigue produced may be enough to limit the hypertrophic stimulus of that set. Hope this makes sense :)

Comparing a set to failure at 6 repetitions and a set to failure at 20 repetitions, the latter will produce a much higher training volume. Volume = reps x load x sets. If volume would be defined as number of sets to failure I have the problem to explain why 8 to 10 sets of 3 reps with a load of around 80% to 85% of my 1RM (i.e. i could do around 8 reps with that load) produce best hypertrophy for me. None of these sets are to failure and only the final one to close failure maybe. I think the attempt to define a parameter of volume in order to simply things is a step towards simplification that already brings us a step further away from a full understanding of the underlying complex processes here.

Then I started doing low volume high weight, with good form of course, and started growing like a weed. My entire physique changed by adding what felt like foundational muscle to my frame.
