Jeff Mayner - New Muscle Growth Theories: Part Two!

[webmaster]

As we learned last month, there is an extensive amount of activity involved in the growth process. The muscle damage theory alone is not solely responsible for muscle growth but as noted it is the most widely supported in spite of some of its shortcomings. Learn what they are!

The theory on lactic acid - growth hormone is rather old. Not only is it old, it doesn't hold any water.

Both lactic acid and growth hormone responses increase as the number of reps per set increases. SO doing sets of 100 would produce a lot more lactic acid and growth hormone than doing 10.

But I can assure you that you won't see any massive indivduals training with sets of 100.

And I would love to see a study that links plyomstrice and muscle hypertrophy!
