Um This is really going to frame a lot of our answers . And as you'll see , it's one of the reasons why I call hypertrophy training kind of idiot proof in terms of programming . Now , the work is hard , difficult and all that .
The topic that occupies the minds of so many youth , young men , but also a lot of women . I think one of the really interesting progressions that's taken place in the last decade or so , is that far more men and women are using resistance training in order to evoke hypertrophy growth of muscles for aesthetic reasons and for all sorts of reasons , what are the ways that people can induce hypertrophy ? So not to correct you or insult you , but probably a better way to think about that question is really what stimuli do I need to give the muscle to induce hypertrophy .
OK , let's talk about hypertrophy . The topic that occupies the minds of so many youth , young men , but also a lot of women .
But the precision needed is a lot less than what we saw in power and strength . And so if you know there , like it's very important that you do it in this style , with this intent and with , with these within these parameters and if you're outside the parameters , it's not gonna be a hypertrophy has a very broad range um in terms of your actual applications and this is why you have and we'll continue to see countless styles of training that all work . I mean , I know you uh were mentored earlier in life by one of my favorite people in this entire field , Mike , er , like just an absolute character , his style was completely different than what you would see in a classic textbook .
I think one of the really interesting progressions that's taken place in the last decade or so , is that far more men and women are using resistance training in order to evoke hypertrophy growth of muscles for aesthetic reasons and for all sorts of reasons , what are the ways that people can induce hypertrophy ? So not to correct you or insult you , but probably a better way to think about that question is really what stimuli do I need to give the muscle to induce hypertrophy . Now , there are um hormonal factors that are important , there are nutritional factors but just to stick with the context of training .
