Debunking the Absurdity of Inactive Muscle Fiber Hypertrophy

The chapter dives into the inefficiency and lack of logic behind a proposed theory suggesting that inactive muscle fibers can hypertrophy through the activation of surrounding fibers. It emphasizes the necessity of tension and activation for muscle growth to occur, dismissing the concept of muscle fibers growing solely through proximity to active ones. The discussion underscores the importance of aligning hypertrophy science with fundamental physiology to avoid misconceptions and highlights the significance of established physiological principles in developing training strategies.
