Foundational Principles of Hypertrophy and Muscle Physiology

The chapter discusses the enduring relevance of core hypertrophy principles from past scientific literature, particularly from the 80s and 90s, in understanding muscle physiology. It highlights the disconnect between modern-day research and historical data, emphasizing the importance of grasping fundamental concepts like mechanical tension for effective muscle growth. The responsibility of educators in simplifying and conveying these principles to trainers and practitioners is also emphasized.
