For the purpose of this 3-part blog series I am going to focus on all things hypertrophy, which in short means an increase in muscle mass. The first part which I will focus on today is with regards to the single most important aspect to consider when trying to gain muscle size, the programming. I think it goes without saying that there are a number of ways to approach a program. What I aim to focus on however are the evidence backed variables which are guaranteed to give you success and how to manipulate these variables to the most advantageous place for yourself.
