In order to build a rock-thick solid physique, it requires a more measured or as we say 'scientific approach to it rather than simply trying to lift as much weight as possible just to impress the girls in the gym. Thats's call working your ego rather than contracting your muscles.
To know how to train a muscle to achieve optimal growth, we must first explore its physical structure, specifically its biomechanic and fiber type composition. This very fact will enable us to choose the suitable rep range, weekly volume, intensity and rest period for optimal muscle hypertrophy.
Fast twitch fibers- low volume. long rest interval. high intensity, low frequency.
Slow twitch fibers- high volume. short rest period, low intensity and high frequency.
In conclusion, for maximum hypertrophy, you should always find a balance between volume, intensity and rest period.
