Evolve Your Understanding: Embrace Evidence-Based Models

A critical re-evaluation of hypertrophy training recommendations is necessary. If traditional guidelines on frequency, volume, and proximity to failure are continuously changed, it indicates an incomplete understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms. The persistent claims about what stimulates muscle growth have not adapted despite new insights, highlighting a disconnect between confidence in these models and their empirical support. For progress, models must reconcile with ample empirical data, as seen in recent meta-analyses. A robust scientific approach should prioritize consistency with observed research to validate training recommendations.
