Today, we're diving into the world of hypertrophy (that's science-speak for muscle growth) and uncovering one of the most powerful principles for packing on size: mechanical tension.
Now, if you're a serious lifter or a student of the iron game, you've probably heard of Brad Schoenfeld. He's like the Yoda of muscle-building research, and his work has revolutionized our understanding of what it takes to optimize gains.
One of the key concepts that Schoenfeld has championed is the idea that mechanical tension – the force that's generated when our muscles contract against resistance – is the primary driver of hypertrophy.
But here's the thing: not all tension is created equal. To really maximize muscle growth, you need to be strategic about the way you apply that tension. And that's where Schoenfeld's research comes in.
Learn about mechanical tension on today's Quick Wits!
