Muscle Hypertrophy is the technical term, or in simpler terms muscle growth or the enlargement of muscle fibers.

 

hi-per´tro-fe is how it's pronouced (If you want to be fancy like me)

 

There are 3 main ways in which our body will put on muscle size (through resistance training).

 

1. Mechanical Tensions - this is where the famous Progressive Overload will fall.

 

2. Metabolic Stress - this is the build up of metabolites in the muscle we're training (more or less "the pump")

 

3. Muscular Damage - In simplest terms, micro tears in the muscle fibers

 

Stay tuned to learn more in detail and how you can apply this to your training!
