An increase in the size of muscle tissue, usually developed through progressive resistance training and adequate recovery.
Why Hypertrophy matters
Hypertrophy training combines sufficient hard sets, useful exercise selection, nutrition and consistent progression over time.
A practical example
Gradually increasing repetitions or load while keeping a stable technique across several weeks.
Common mistake
Changing exercises constantly or assuming one intense workout produces visible muscle growth.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
