TLDR
- Hypertrophy is the key to resistance training
Description
We’re defining hypertrophy as training the target muscle, taken relatively close to failure, through a relatively full range of motion, likely around 3 to 30 reps with a focus on a target muscle.
In other words, training for hypertrophy is synonymous with ‘resistance training’.
We propose a concept of breaking resistance training down into two lens; movement patterns and muscle groups. Specifically:
- 6 movement patterns
- 12 muscle groups
While this is by no means a 1 to 1 comparison, you could conceptualise the movement patterns more as strength work, and the muscle groups more as hypertrophy work.
Prescription
The topic is too vast to have a straightforward paragraph here.
See the muscle group breakdown for the possible options.
Alternatively, the listed programs provides more specific programming.
