Hey Friend,
Did you know that there are three research-supported mechanisms for RAPID muscle growth?
If you neglect any one of them, you're leaving a ton of gains on the gym floor. If
you ask the biggest and baddest dudes at your gym for advice on adding muscle you’ll likely get a variety of protocols suggested.
"Go heavy or go home," the powerlifters boast.
"Chase the pump and go till it burns," the bodybuilders reassure.
"Keep the body guessing every workout," the CrossFitters state.
Oddly, each of these statements holds truth, but for maximal muscle growth you'll need a plan that cycles all three protocols.
This
is not theory. A 2010 paper in the Journal of Strength &
Conditioning Research by Brad Schoenfeld showed that there are three
critical mechanisms of hypertrophy – mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage.
