Strength vs Hypertrophy: The Science of Building Muscle

____

In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy explores how to build muscular size. He talks about the physiology of muscular hypertrophy by discussing the changes that take place within the muscle fibers. He also talks about exercise principles and resistance training routines that stimulate hypertrophy vs strength adaptations, and even dives into the different types of muscle tissue such as cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle, and how these muscle tissues grow and respond to different stimuli.

    Hi All! Thank you for your comments. If you are reading this I'd love to know if you liked that we added information about the other different types of muscle tissue, or if you would have rather us just get into the skeletal muscle only. Thanks!

    I am 62 and have lifted weights since I was 15 yrs old....over the yrs, I did all kinds of weights, heavy, light, more reps, less reps and today i am on a high rep/not so high weight with all my workouts...I call this semi intense, muscle endurance exercising...my sets are hardly any rest between them and I do a whole body workout at one time....while I don't have the mass of my 30 year old self, I still have definition and I am strong for my age...I found that over the years, although my muscles got strong, it wreaked havoc on the joints in my body so therefore I am lighter weight, higher reps person for the rest of my life....there really is no need for me to throw 225 pounds on my back and squat 12 times at my age...I can do just about anything I want athletically and aren't sore for 2 days after I work out like before...I call it muscle maintaining more than anything...I was waiting for a video like this, Thanks Jonathan

    This channel makes my brain hypertrophic

    This channel is not a fitness influencer channel yet provides more reliable information for bodybuilding and fitness than others. Totally love it!
  • @lgnobil
    those are bodies behind you, aren't they.

    I once saw a guy at the gym successfully lifting the most ridiculously heavy weight. If you saw him in the street, you would think he doesn't even go to the gym. He looks like an ordinary guy without much muscle mass at all. Really goes to show the difference between strength vs. hypertrophy.
  • @TheKent2288
    All these years I thought muscle building involved tearing of old muscle to rebuild newer and stronger ones aka “the burn” but it’s the same muscle all along. Thank you for enlightening me!

    As someone who worked with histopathology for 6 years, it never ceased to amaze-me how a net of interlaced muscular strings can hold a "pressurized liquid" without leaks for decades non-stop!
  • @imquiet4503
    We'll just ignore the dead bodies in the background 👀
  • I would love to see a video on what soreness is and the physiology behind it. I know we may not completely know the full answer to that yet but a video on what we do know would be awesome.
  • @SamiiRSMT
    This video came at the right time, I'm on hypertrophy program currently and was just thinking of switching to strength-focused program
  • @nicoleu2007
    Dude, I love this channel! You guys make such informative and entertaining content!
  • Been doing gym for almost 2 months now, figuring stuff out and its amazing how the human body adapts
  • @benwarnock
    You gotta stop shilling that scam hair hat thing
  • I love your videos! Thank you for all the knowledge, energy, and time that you put into each one. Absolutely fascinating! 😎
  • @ManuelSiddhi
    Insane topic! Thanks for share this hypertroinformation with us!
  • @difuvalentine
    This channel makes me happy. Keep up the good work, sir.
  • @Rinko8
    Not first, but if I see Institute of Human Anatomy upload, I watch.
