Episode notes
Lifting for Aesthetics
- Lift weights in both low and high rep ranges.
- This combines the dense, hard look of heavy lifting with the full, round look of hypertrophy training.
Muscle Density vs. Volume
- Heavy lifting may build more muscle than hypertrophy training, leading to a denser look.
- Another theory is that hypertrophy training increases sarcoplasmic fluid, while heavy training builds muscle fiber.
Sal's Transformation
- Sal used to only look like he worked out when he was pumped after hypertrophy training.
- After switching to heavy lifting, he maintained a more solid physique even after periods of less training.
