Ideal Weight Range for Muscle Hypertrophy and Strength
44:16 - 1:01:56 (17:39)
Five sets per week in the 30% to 80% of one rep maximum range, close to muscle failure, can enhance muscle strength and size due to neural control of muscles.

The strength and size of a particular muscle can be enhanced if an individual has the capacity to move their elbow behind their body and contract that muscle.

Summary
The strength and size of a particular muscle can be enhanced if an individual has the capacity to move their elbow behind their body and contract that muscle. The nerve-to-muscle connection plays a vital role in generating hypertrophy and distributing the work of nerve to muscle connections, which helps offset strength loss.

Research shows that working in the 30% to 80% of one repetition maximum range and doing five sets per week, getting close to failure or occasionally to full muscular failure, can help offset any decline in muscle strength and increase muscle strength.

Learn that performing five to fifteen sets per week, whether in one workout or divided up, is beneficial for maintaining a certain muscle group, but the number of sets depends on the individual’s ability to generate force in fewer sets.
