    Strength vs Hypertrophy: The Science of Building Muscle
    ____
    In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy explores how to build muscular size. He talks about the physiology of muscular hypertrophy by discussing the changes that take place within the muscle fibers. He also talks about exercise principles and resistance training routines that stimulate hypertrophy vs strength adaptations, and even dives into the different types of muscle tissue such as cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle, and how these muscle tissues grow and respond to different stimuli.

    I am 62 and have lifted weights since I was 15 yrs old....over the yrs, I did all kinds of weights, heavy, light, more reps, less reps and today i am on a high rep/not so high weight with all my workouts...I call this semi intense, muscle endurance exercising...my sets are hardly any rest between them and I do a whole body workout at one time....while I don't have the mass of my 30 year old self, I still have definition and I am strong for my age...I found that over the years, although my muscles got strong, it wreaked havoc on the joints in my body so therefore I am lighter weight, higher reps person for the rest of my life....there really is no need for me to throw 225 pounds on my back and squat 12 times at my age...I can do just about anything I want athletically and aren't sore for 2 days after I work out like before...I call it muscle maintaining more than anything...I was waiting for a video like this, Thanks Jonathan

      I've always been a strength guy. Where people go wrong is they lift heavy too often and don't let their joints recover. I may only lift heavy once every 10-17 days. I do a lot of cardio or sport specific stuff in between and throw in a lower weight workout in between that might be closer to bodybuilders

      @@furbabe there naturally lose it with age cause hormonal profile shifts and we just rot eventually..., its isnt a detriment to health those bulkier muscles if dense have more raw strength explosive power output being weak is bad for health not strong.
      and even the puffy softer looking blown up sorta muscles help with work capacity strength endurance and not getting injured or gassing out with physical day to day tasks.
      so actually its polar opposite you wanna try keep as strong (neurally brain wise) and as muscular (as its both helps maximise strength ceiling where can more safely express strength... and increases work capacity in turn fitness in turn quality of lived life) as long as possible, eventually your decline get weaker less smart iq decline marbles go power outputs reflexes go etc etc
      but yh if want quality old age... try stay strong and stay fit, or your just rot quicker.
      also be more prone injuries death from falls certain health issues etc.
      only real negative that could think with more muscle on frame is more calories needed to maintain higher turn over metabolism more chance cancer, and your kinda burning the candle at both ends so may especially if man genetically have lotta testosterone human growth hormone male hormones etc may die younger but your be fitter more able bodied for longer stretch of it and sharper minded...
      also people that exercise alot... tend to have addictive personalities overdo the exercise die heart disease and things cause struggle to moderate put foot on the breaks as lots are chasing feelings a rush of some sort, they also athletes actually drink more regularly and heavily than average person and gamble more.

    Been going to the gym for 20 years (natural), at my peak, i was 92kg with less than 10% body fat and was comfortably pressing 50kg dumbbells for 12+reps....but it isn't sustainable. I was up at 4am and in the gym 1.5hrs a day, 6 days a week
    I was in constant pain in my joints, was taking pain killers to sleep and if i moved quickly I would get shooting pains, but always wanted to try and get bigger and stronger so thought I would just live with the pain.
    Since I became a father I realised I needed to take the ego out of it and look at a better way of doing it. Especially being a dad took priority and don't have half as much free time, I needed a different approach.
    Im now testing the "Mike Mentzer routine" of less time and weight, but more slow control and intensity.
    I've not tested it long enough to really rate it, and obviously I've lost a bit of muscle with not living in the gym (and also age) but I still get muscle pump and fatigue etc...but just realised the other day, I've got no more pain! No more pain pills, I'm also able to move easier and play with my little boy more. So I think I'm done with the heavy ego lifting 🙃

      I believe as long as you control the eccentric contraction that is the best way to stimulate muscle, based on studies but I cannot remember the name of the article. It basically stated that the concentric must be explosive in nature and eccentric controlled - the more controlled and slower stretch you give the muscle on eccentric the better results you should see in terms of strength gain/maintenance and hypertrophy

Mike Mentzer himself preached that the muscle only starts GROWING after it's done RECOVERING. if you're in pain all the time you're never fully recovered and therefore you cannot be growing either. he was also concerned with systemic fatigue. proper rest is when the whole body rests. if you're training legs on monday and arms on tuesday you don't count tuesday as a rest day for your legs. you're still fatiguing your body so growth (in the whole body) is being delayed by that. these are all claims by Mentzer, I am merely repeating them.

Our bodies actually prefers to do this rather than use fat provided to it through our diet, our systems are smart like that, and their priority is to keep us healthy, so they drop the excessive and at times harmful fat stores when and wherever possible, and tough training is quite the incentive to do so. The term’s body recomposition, it’s fascinating stuff, and it’s technically a form of cannibalism, positive and healthy cannibalism of the self (if done slowly and safely, which is easier said than done), autophagy if you will.

    All my exercises are 5 sets, 30s rest between sets, 1s positive, 3s negative per rep. TUT and rest periods are precise as I listen to a metronome at 60bpm (ticking every sec), which also helps maintain perfect form. It also means all my exercises are repeatable so I can track progress in the knowledge I'm not cheating (for example speeding up the reps and not making true progress). Although my rep ranges are in the hypertrophy range, the short rest period and TUT tune my exercises more towards endurance. It works for me, I never get injuries, joint pain etc. I'm addicted to perfecting the exercises and making progress, and not ego lifting and packing on muscle and the risks associated with it. Everyone's different. All that matters is what you are interested in and what motivates you.

    Just remember that IRESTORE doesn't block the production of 5-alpha reductase and thereby stop the conversion of DHT. Just like minoxidil, an LLT-cap will promote blood circulation and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicles. You will still lose hair at the same rate as before (even though it might not look like it at first). If you want to stop hair loss, you will need to use finasteride and, in some cases, dutasteride. Then u can regain ground with minoxidil, the LLT-cap (look for a cheaper option) and microneedling. You can also start using the ketokonazol shampoo aswell. But if you're contempt with just stopping hairloss. Finasteride and sometimes ketokonazol shampoo is enough.
