Longer term study and effects on skeletal muscle hypertrophy

Posted by overfiftylifter on 16 Feb 2011 at 21:05 GMT

The study hints that low loads promotes the environment for muscle hypertrophy by increasing protein synthesis and effecting metabolic pathways. Are you considering a study to evaluate and measure actual hypertrophy using your low load training methodology over a longer period of time? Perhaps also a comparison over a period of time of low and high load training with both groups training to failure?
