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?
- Methods to make use of a higher number of effective reps: rest-pause, myo-reps, drop sets, etc.
- Exercise selection for such methods
- Role of rest intervals: the U-shaped curve developed by Carl Juneau and James Krieger
- How strategies change with experience level
