Hypertrophietraining

More mass for visually defined muscles is the primary goal for most trainees when it comes to lifting weights. However, there are additional reasons for muscle building, known as hypertrophy: studies have long proven that more muscle improves overall health and fitness and significantly contributes to fat reduction. But how is optimal hypertrophy achieved? Which exercises are sensible for which goals? What does the ideal training plan look like? How often should one train? What should be considered when selecting weights? The authors, renowned scientists in the fields of muscle building, strength training, and nutrition for strength athletes, provide detailed answers to these and many other questions. They illuminate hypertrophy from all angles, offering well-founded insights into training theory and thus providing the necessary understanding to effectively apply training plans. A focus is placed on the scientific analysis of common exercises in fitness and strength sports, illustrating that factors such as different grip widths or foot positions, as well as proper nutrition, often determine the better and faster achievement of training goals. With this know-how, the authors set new standards in hypertrophy training, enabling every athlete to reach their best possible performance.
