In this video, I cover the 5 crucial bodybuilding principles that must be followed in order to maximize muscle growth. We’ll touch on training technique for hypertrophy, effort (how important is training to failure?), progressive overload, and exercise selection, while highlighting the most up-to-date research along the way.

  • @JeffNippard
    Do you prefer bodybuilding or powerlifting training? And why?
  • @mukundan101
    Awesome video Jeff!! -Increase eccentric time (2-4s), explosive concentric movements -Full range of motion in most/all exercises - Maintain proper form. -Effort - Take each set very close or to failure. - Gold Standard aka Progressive Overload.
  • Often people do not realize how important is the negative portion of a movement. Specially when training pull movements. Last months i tried to focus on making my TUT longer by controlling the negative portion of rows, lat pulldowns and biceps curls and my back has blown up. After years of training i can proudly say im still learning!
  • @catfunt3404
    Dressing up to make fun of mistakes lifters make always kill me
  • Once again Jeff you've explained the important points of the program without sounding at all biased (which is very refreshing these days) in your explanations. Thanks again for your informative advice.
  • @natefenn
    Elite information, delivery, and production quality as always Jeff. Thank you for your contributions to educating us lifters!
  • @Fruityyy1337
    Jeff, this video is insane. This video basically sums up everything you've said before, and even some new info, in less than 15 min. And i say that as someone who has watched almost all of your videos over the course of a year. I have gotten all of this for free and in less than 1 and a half year I've gone from 65kg skinny as hell to 96-97kg currently with visible abs and visible quad muscles. Cant thank you enough
  • You don't see "Body Building Technique" very often because so many people get hyper focused on how much weight they can move. They wont be able to perform slow controlled reps without taking a hit to their ego/numbers.

    💪 How To Train For Pure Muscle Growth (Science Explained) - Jeff Nippard 🔥 Tension is King: - Always have the most tension as possible during your exercises. 🏋 Bodybuilding technique: - Have proper tempo: explosive on the positive and slow and controlled on the negative. - Range of Motion: be sure to do the full ROM on exercises. - Proper technique: Do not cheat the technique with other muscles. 💪 Effort: - You always need to push your sets close to failure - On safer exercises such as the ones with machines and cables, you should do the last set to failure. While on harder ones such as squats, deadlifts and bench presses, always be 1 rep close to failure on every set. 🌳 Give your muscles a reason to grow: - You need to progressively overload, and this can be done in 3 ways: - Having better technique (can be done without switching reps or weight) - Adding more reps (usually without changing weight) - Adding more weight (usually also lowering reps) 🎯 High-Tension exercises: - The best exercises are the ones that cause a lot of tension in your muscles, as said in the first chapter, but even better ones are ones that cause high tension with low fatigue. These exercises can be found in Jeff Nippard's new program. Also some other interesting facts: ✅Every training split works as long as you do the right volume, rest and it can fit your schedule. 😴 Your rest time should be by at least 1 minute. 🏭Exercises done with machines give the same results as free-weight exercises, and maybe even better.
  • @lesliessgarciaa
    Your videos are like no other fitness influencer. You are dedicated, detail etc. I love academia/learning and also love working out. You combine both amazing.
  • @shane_rm1025
    This is the single best bodybuilding video on YouTube imo just for the sheer amount of information packed into one video, only focusing on the most important parts of hypertrophy training. Zero filler on this, all quality.
  • Hello Jeff! Making a dedicated video series on long-length partials ,myo reps , dropsets , cluster sets , iso holds and others is not just a goo idea, it is A GREAT IDEA. I would go as far as to state that no one has done an in-depth nicely directed dedicated video describing all of these techniques.their origin's , the studies that back them up and how can be used in the gym during your exercises. It gets even more confusing when you google these techniques and the results are varied with some relly long podcasts discussing them but that is a dull way to explain them. A 10 to 15 minute video with nice graphs and real life training examples within the gym can show how to execute these techniques properly in different excercise scenarios and also increase our lifting IQ in the process. Thank you
  • @AmeerCorro
    Phenomenal video Jeff! The effort you put into both the edit and the program is so evident, keep levelling up!
  • @ianbrown5955
    And it keeps changing. It wasn't long ago that 2 or 3 reps in the tank was the best thing since ice-cream. It looks like we are back to failure now. I do think that recovery is huge in building muscle. If you're gonna use less intensity and/or lower volume, you'll need less recovery. If your going to do failure and/or beyond failure, you're going to need more days for recovery. I've experimented and learned that "Recovery" is huge and needs to be addressed in studies with different types of training. Recovery is different for everybody, and could be why we have hard gainers. Whatever we do, our muscle or muscles worked have to be fully recovered before the next workout.
  • @S78332
    Jeff, something I would love to see you address in a future video is whether or not it is better for long-term hypertrophy to train explicitly with hypertrophy in mind, or if cycling between strength and hypertrophy training will lead to better long-term size. The reason for the query being that if the amount of weight you lift is a factor driving tension in the reps x sets x load equation, and this equation drives hypertrophy, perhaps it makes sense to maximize the strength variable intermittently for better long-term progress.
  • @CalicoRiot
    I preordered. This program is very thorough, so many clickable links which is a major timesaver if someone's never seen/done a particular exercise. The hypertrophy handbook is very systematic and concise, and is the only program ive ever seen that has left me without a single question. Starting the upper/lower today with the extra upper/weak points day as this split really works with my recovery rates. Thanks jeff!
  • @DrJacobGoodin
    Hitting those Bayesian curls right out the gate in this video. Bodybuilding doesn't get more science-y than that. Love it 💪
  • @Moose92411
    Mike Israetel’s content has been massively informative for my muscular development recently, and he emphasizes many of these principles.
  • Loved the ultimate push pull legs program! I literally will be finishing my final deload week when this program is released. Already pre ordered and can’t wait! Seen amazing progress with the ultimate PPL program
