This document discusses muscle hypertrophy, or muscle growth. It explains that hypertrophy occurs through an increase in the size of existing muscle fibers and number of myofibrils. Higher training volumes with moderate-heavy weights and moderate-high repetitions per set performed over multiple sets is associated with hypertrophy. Short rest periods between sets allows for higher training volumes. The document recommends compound exercises that recruit more muscle mass and hormonal response, as well as isolation exercises, performed over multiple training sessions per week for optimal hypertrophy.
