Abstract

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a protein balance dependent morphophysiological adaptation that is influenced by complex biochemical/molecular processes. Physical training, especially muscle strength, is one way to stimulate these processes. There is both empirical-lay and academic practice of attempting to rank muscle strength training methods as if they provided different degrees of stimuli for skeletal muscle hypertrophy, but in observing published studies involving comparisons of muscle strength training methods, it is not possible to identify these differences that could be used to characterize the methods as beginner, intermediate and advanced, or to provide different levels of skeletal muscle hypertrophy.
