Exploring Stretch-Mediated Hypertrophy and Muscle Length for Optimal Growth
The chapter delves into the debate around stretch-mediated hypertrophy, examining whether observed increases truly reflect longitudinal hypertrophy at the sarcomere level. The speakers discuss the importance of training at longer muscle lengths for significant muscle growth and dispel myths about the necessity of feeling a deep stretch for hypertrophy. Practical strategies for implementing partials into training routines and the impact of varying ranges of motion in exercises are also explored, highlighting the complexities and benefits of muscle length on hypertrophy.
