What stretch mediated hypertrophy REALLY IS

The podcast discusses stretch mediated hypertrophy, its definition, and misconceptions surrounding it. They delve into studies on muscle fiber length, sarcomere stretching, and the role of Titan. The importance of reaching maximum range of motion is explored, along with the effects of Nordic leg curls. They address the differences between stretch-mediated hypertrophy and strength training, and the use of EMG in studying muscle activation. The concept of neuro-mechanical matching, triceps study findings, and inconsistencies in calf muscle growth are discussed. The hosts challenge alternative models and emphasize the need for evidence-based explanations.
