Challenges in Study Design and Measurement Timing for Hypertrophy Research

The chapter delves into the limitations of studies with high training volumes and short measurement intervals, criticizing them for their impact on recovery and reliability of data. It explores the complexities of measuring hypertrophy post-training, including issues with muscle swelling and fatigue accumulation. The speakers discuss the importance of proper training frequency, managing fatigue, and understanding Reps in Reserve (RIR) to optimize progressive overload in training programs.
