The HyPaultrophy podcast

"Can I grow my inner pecs?" - Biasing muscles and regional hypertrpohy

Oct 29, 2023
The podcast explores biasing muscle divisions and regional hypertrophy. They discuss how bias influences muscle activation, growth patterns of muscles in different areas, and challenges of targeting specific muscle heads. The impact of antagonist inhibition on muscle growth is explored, focusing on muscles like biceps, triceps, and hamstrings. The influence of joint position on hamstring activation and the concept of region hypertrophy are discussed. The podcast also explores regional variations in muscle fiber types, genetics and muscle growth, and the importance of stabilization for muscle activation. The hosts delve into building inner pecs in the chest muscles and the debate around regional hypertrophy. They also discuss the importance of shoulder position for triceps muscle activation, the intricacies of the lats, and the significance of antagonist inhibition and the two joint muscle principle in muscle growth. The podcast concludes with a discussion on volume counting, growing inner pecs, and upcoming topics on physiological modeling and failure types.
