What the video covers
What really makes muscle grow? 1st mechanical tension: the mechanism that matters most for hypertrophy. 0-3 reps in reserve: almost the same stimulus with much less fatigue (Refalo et al., 2023, 15 studies). 14% hamstring growth with seated leg curls, versus 9% lying (Maeo et al., 2021).
