youruiner asked: Hi Nick! Excellent blog. I always love your info. Have you heard of hypertrophy-specific training? There seems to be a lot of research backing up the protocol but I can never be sure. Any thoughts on what type of routine is really the most effective for inducing hypertrophy?

Nick’s three keys to hypertrophy:

1.) Time under tension (emphasizing eccentric training and slow repetitions)

2.) Cell swelling (da pump)

3.) Altering the metabolic milieu of the muscle (resting shorter periods between sets)

All the best,

Nick
