Dear bro, Last week was crazy. I was on the Sigma Nutrition podcast with Danny Lennon (truly one of my favourites podcasts). As always, Danny asked great questions. He surprised me a bit, and we jumped into the juicy stuff right away. Highly recommended if you’re into podcasts: http://sigmanutrition.com/episode225/The day the podcast came out, Foo Wee Lun of FitWell Nutrition created an illustration based on an idea I shared in Danny’s podcast. This was perhaps my best idea, so if you don’t listen to the podcast, I’d recommend you check it out. Not only that, but a few of the best minds in the world of muscle commented on the illustration. We bounced ideas around and it was just great: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=212101139375487&set=a.102384623680473.1073741827.100017268064988&type=3Your friend in honest, science-based natural bodybuilding, Carl Juneau, PhD

SNR #225: Carl Juneau, PhD – Effective Reps & Strategies for Hypertrophy | Sigma Nutrition & Performance
In This Episode We Discuss:
- Theory of effective reps
- Influence of mechanical tension, muscle damage and metabolic stress on hypertrophy
- Does metabolic stress really cause hypertrophy? Or is it just a by-product of mechanical tension?

U-shapred relationship between rest between sets and muscle hypertrophy. Check out the comments to learn from some of the best minds in the world of muscle.

Longer Interset Rest Periods Enhance Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy in Resistance-Trained Men. - PubMed - NCBI
This one is probably a repost:
3 minutes was superior to 1 minute between sets to build muscle.
|
Strength And Muscular Adaptations Following 6 Weeks Of Rest-Pause Versus Traditional Multiple-Sets Resistance Training In Trained Subjects. - PubMed - NCBI
[Repost] Rest-pause sets (20 sec rest) equal or better than normal sets (2 min rest) for hypertrophy. Seems like those 2 minutes rest are mostly a waste of time :O
|
Relationship Between Firing Rate and Recruitment Threshold of Motoneurons in Voluntary Isometric Contractions
Seems like the VL (quad) muscle recruits maximally at 95% MVC. This is interesting because it suggests you’ll need to lift heavy or train to fatigue to hypertrophy all the muscle fibres of that muscle.
