Yoked, stacked, swole, diced... who doesn't want to get jacked? While the basic barbell compound movements -- the Squat, press, bench press, and deadlift -- are the backbone of any good muscle building program, sometimes certain body parts need more help to grow. Coach Santana and Coach Trent offer up their favorite accessory lifts for hard-to-grow muscles after a lifter has exhausted their novice gains on a quality barbell program. They also dispel some myths about "hypertrophy," particularly the idea that you need tons of sets and reps to grow muscles.
Just like any good strength program, a good hypertrophy program involves putting more weight on the bar on a regular basis. You don't need a ton of sets and reps, or a ton of different movements. The most important thing is progressive overload, and a high level of effort on every set. Sandbagging your chins and bicep curls because you're tired from squatting and pressing will not make your arms grow!
