Hypertrophy Questions

Hi, I have some questions regarding hypertrophy and any answers would be appreciated.

  1. Are being training sensitive in gaining strength and in gaining muscle mutually exclusive as I feel that I am a good responder from a hypertrophy perspective but not so much from a strength perspective?

  2. Upon completing a hypertrophy program like the one you provide, if one was to go onto a strength focused program, assuming weight loss wasnt occurring, would the results of the hypertrophy program remain?

  3. (If the answer to number 2 is no) In order to continue to drive or maintain hypertrophy results, does volume have to continue to increase. For example, I am currently training biceps and triceps for 7 sets, 3 times a week which seems a lot and I cant imagine how much I would have to do in even a year’s time at this rate of titration.

Thanks.

JB,

  1. Not necessarily mutually exclusive, which makes sense given how strong the correlation is between muscle cross sectional area and strength.

  2. Yes, likely.

Thanks Jordan!
