At time: 00:02 measure of function. Understanding the difference between strength and hypertrophy is crucial when designing training programs that are specific to achieving either goal. Below is a task list summarizing the key points: [ ] Define strength and hypertrophy and explain the specific adaptations they represent [ ] Recognize the overlap between strength and hypertrophy for beginners and intermediate trainers [ ] Differentiate between strength and hypertrophy as they become disentangled for advanced trainers [ ] Highlight the relationship between strength and hypertrophy, and how one can lead to the other but is not necessary for the other to occur [ ] Clarify common misconceptions about the relationship between strength and muscle size [ ] Emphasize that it is possible to get stronger without adding much muscle mass, and vice versa [ ] Explain how understanding the difference between strength and hypertrophy can help design effective training programs tailored to specific goals. At time: 03:40 [x] Define components of strength: physiology and mechanics [x] Physiology: ability of neuromuscular system and muscle fibers to contract and produce force [x] Mechanics: includes biomechanics, technique, skill, sequencing, and order [x] Mechanics can impact competition outcomes even if one has more force capability [x] Rhythm is a crucial factor in speed and power performance [x] Hypertrophy is related to muscle size [x] Strength and hypertrophy are related but distinct concepts

Your broad knowledge of psychology and behaviour and excel in neuroscience and opthomology has led us to gain this great mysterious knowledge of the mind and body, however knowledge has limitations there are things about science that has no explanation so far for example life and death and the soul It is thanks to professor Andrew we are exploring science at a zero cost at may God bless you and reward you the best professor ever❤❤❤❤❤

Great video, thanks.

I'm currently following your functional fitness protocol. I use a home gym with dumbbells(50 lb. max) and a pull up bar. I enjoy the Peloton strength classes. Is it safe to assume that these qualify for my hypertrophy workouts. lots of reps with lower weight. For my strength/power workouts, I think I'm going to have to join a gym for higher weight requirements.

I’m would love to here your guy’s opinion on gymnastics:) having them break it down would be very interesting

My takeaway here is that it seems hypertrophy contributes to strength MORE than strength contributes to hypertrophy. And that seems really important

Aside from sarcosplasmic hypertrophy, gaining muscle size will result in the muscle being stronger. But “Strength” training mainly involves neurological adaptations.

It depends, you'll see gym goers that go to the gym for years and still bench 135 for reps & 8-10 random exercises and look the exact same. Way easier to learn how to build muscle through strength training for a novice

I'm the biggest guy in my gym, but I'm far from the strongest. I use a moderate weight with 12 to 15 reps at a very slow and controlled pace. My goal is to make a deep mind muscle connection.

Me too

Muscles will also find ways to adapt and "cheat reps" such as speeding up the repitition, not controlling as much on the ecentric etc which is why feeling the target muscle contract hard is no 1. for muscle size

The two types of hypertrophy should be clrarified. Sarcoplasmic (cell swelling) and myfibril, the former is shit for strength gain but you get chasing pumps, and the latter is more dense and is actually functional. Muscle "growth" alone does not distinguish which is which.

Dr. Galpin was right of target. I trained in a hardcore gym which had a number of "juicers' whose members won titles in bodybuilding and powerlifting. I was one of the few members who were natural and who won bodybuilding contests against the "juicers". There was also a teenager in that gym who was natural and who beat the "juicer" powerlifting deadlift record for his age and weight by 35 lb. If you looked at him you would never have thought he lifted a weight. P.S. When I was researching the literature for my Master's thesis in human nutrition, I was amazed by how few doing research on weightlifting formed conclusions without distinguishing between training for size vs. training for strength. Dr. Galpin summed up things nicely and very succinctly. Hats off to the good Doctor. I hope some day that you do a video about obesity as measured by body fat % vs. body weight. By weight, I am obese even though my body fat % is about 10%. When I competed in bodybuilding, my body fat % was just under 5%( an unhealthy level) but I was still overweight for my height and body frame.

If you demand extra strength from your body, in the form of gradual overload. Then your body will do its best to supply it. This usually meens your muscles changing size and shape, as you get stronger. Compound exercises are the best for this purpose.

@@user-be3lu6di6e An exercise movement that uses many different muscles together as opposed to the opposite, isolation exercise that isolates one specific muscle. Good examples of compound lifts are the big three lifts: Bench Press, Squats, and Deadlifts. Good examples of isolation exercises are Bicep Curls, Calf Extensions, and Crunches. Compound exercises workout more muscles at once, which saves time and usually balances the muscles involved well, whereas isolation exercises focus on just one muscle allowing for more specialization of training. If your goal is to be as big as possible for it may be beneficial to have a bunch of isolation exercises in your workout routines, however, if you are just an average joe trying to get in shape, compound exercises are probably your best friend as they save loads of time and planning. Hope this helps (even though its 6 months after you posted).

For size: lots of reps.

In regards to protocols for hypertrophy, is it important to hit the sets per week per muscle? For example the shoulders, do I need to hit the sets per week for anterior, middle, and posterior?

@ankitvarma1652

2 ай бұрын

Absolutely for hypertrophy every muscle needs to be hit in a week. For strength not so much. For example if you are doing chest, for hypertrophy you have to go through flat, incline, decline bench press with optimal 8 to 12 reps. But for strength flat bench press with gradual increase in load with optimal 2 to 3 reps is good enough. If you are not preparing for powerlifting competition go for hypertrophy. Because its not like you will not gain any strength at all by hypertrophy. Arnold can't lift like Eddy hall but thay doesn't mean he is not strong. Also it helps building well defined muscles.

Whats ths conclusion for muscle building ?

Also how is the strength measure from the group that goes for a strong muscle but doesnt add to it, like whats the scientific forumla for that mass being able to move X weight? I Believe what ever the explanation for “lifting this heavy weight makes your muscle stronger even though theres no change” is also the key to why some people are just naturally so strong even being small, rather than just choccing it up to genetics.

Are hypertrophy muscles stronger than larger hyperplasia muscles for example? Are those huge Belgian blue cows caused by Myostatin deficiency actually stronger than normal cows?

Is protein intake and a calorie surplus as important in strength training as it is in hypertrophy??

@Blinkers2007GameDev

Жыл бұрын

You don't have to recover as well because you don't need as much volume. Also, Calorie surplus is more for muscle size as your giving the muscle building blocks to build itself up. For strength, I would recommend only protein intake, as your goal is not to get bigger, but just stronger. You want to grow those fibers but not the other fibers. So protein matters for strength, but for size, calorie surplus is more important.

So, what I have to do now to become stronger, without putting more muscle on? Stick to 3-5 reps? 5x5?

@jan-patrickbollstrom4708

11 ай бұрын

Even better if you try hitting 1 to 3 reps with your absolute 1RM or 3RM and with atleast 3min rest time between sets. 3 to 5 sets I think is the sweet spot. You might need to start doing hypertrophy sets when you start hitting a plateau but neuromuscular adaptations that come from purely training for strength can take you far

are these the lyrics to Ramble On?

I do both.

If your primary goal was glucose control, would it be better to focus on hypertrophy or strength? Or does it matter? From what I've read, it seems that the strength work will actively soak more glucose up during the work because you're doing more reps. On the other hand, having more muscle mass will act as a large glucose sink to constantly be pulling glucose. Is there a clear winner here, or should those with type 2/prediabetes aim somewhere down the middle?

Muscle density dictates strength, but is not always true for muscle hypertrophy, which is considered the softer muscle. Muscle size, from hypertrophy, can decrease rapidly, whereas strength, from continuous working can be maintained far longer. An example of this is 'old man strength'.

Simplified version "Either get twice as good at contracting your muscle, or make your muscle twice as big."

Muscle grows as a side effect of improving muscle force output. The additional myosin allows the muscle to produce more force. The muscle cells expands and grows to make room for them. A muscle will not grow without getting stronger. You might be able to do more weight in a particular lift without growing stronger due to improved skill and neurological efficiency. But this is not an improvement in muscle force itself. It is an improvement in skill which allows you to move more weight.

@Jafmanz

9 ай бұрын

So much nonsense... a motor unit is recruited by the brain to produce force. A motor unit is a motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that it innervates. Strength training aims to recruit more motor units enabling maximal use of the muscle fibres that are already in existence. It is indeed an improvement in the ability of a muscle to produce force... You contradict yourself with your word salad!

What to do to gain strength, not muscles?

If hypertrophy hardly does anything for strength, then what evolutionary or functional purpose does it serve?

Hot to gain strength without much highering body weight?

Going heavy really destroys my muscles just in two sets only. It's really good if you don't have much time to go to the gym.

Didn't explained at all why and how all of that happens

I didn't understand anything 😅

If hypertrophy helps muscle fibres grow, why must you lift heavy to get big? I train more towards the hypertrophy area and I like my physique but as a naturally petite man it doesnt nothing for me clothed

All this blabbing and you said NOTHING You left out all the presumed explanation by simply saying....." for a number of reasons"..... You know nothing

It seems like 1-rm / powerlifting and olympic weightlifting are such poor proxies for strength though because pivotal to those sports are momentum, technique, leverage, "cheating" the movement, explosiveness, etc. What's the strategy for building strength without focusing on optimizing technique, momentum, etc.? Like if somebody is a wrestler and has to have strength in all kinds of de-leveraged positions.

A larger muscle does mean stronger. There is a correlation. I fail to see the kinesiology you are discussing. Lifting heavy weight leads to both increase size AND strength, in a physiologic sense.

Didn't say very much

Can't hear a word no lie there's something wrong with the sound

Incorrect. Particular genetics gravitate towards activities they have an advantage in. Powerlifting only tests strength and not muscle size so individuals with high neuromuscular efficiency and proportions favorable to those movements gravitate towards powerlifting. It’s got a lot less to do with their training more to do with their genetics.
