In my last article we looked at numerous studies that all pointed to exercise-induced hormones not having a role in muscle hypertrophy or strength. The evidence was pretty clear that growth hormone and testosterone that is produced DURING training was not anabolic and did not have an effect on protein synthesis. […]
When we last left off during this muscle-building series we were discussing which rep range was the best for building muscle. If you missed it I’d suggest taking a step back and going through that before continuing on but for the sake of time I’ll provide a […]
If you remember when we last got together we talked about training to failure, whether you should do it and if so how often. After looking at a lot of evidence I came up with my opinion based on the data we have available. If you missed it be sure to check […]

In the first article we kicked off this muscle-building series by discussing many of the elements that factor into muscle growth and more specifically the importance of volume. In the second article we discussed the importance of
When we kicked off this muscle-building series we talked about how when volume is held equal rep ranges didn’t make a difference in terms of actual hypertrophy but that lower rep ranges led to greater strength gains. We talked a lot about the importance of volume when it comes to building muscle […]
