Building the Middle
by Jon Gilson
The relationship between rep scheme, load, and the resulting physical adaptation is well documented. At one end of the continuum, we find high repetitions performed with low to moderate loads. This training style produces increased muscle cross-section (hypertrophy) with little concurrent increase in strength. At the opposite end, we find very low repetitions performed with maximal loads, producing little change in muscle cross-section with tremendous concurrent gains in motor recruitment (innervation). Between these two extremes, we find combinations of volume and load that produce a blending of our two desired attributes, hypertrophy and innervation.
