There's a little piece that details some routines that seem to be effective for different body types, with the aim being muscle hypertrophy.

Yeah I was doing 2-4 reps with olympic lifting with the understanding that I wouldn't gain weight - I didn't...

Stimulates nervous system and fatigues big time but NOT THE SAME MUSCLE GROWTH while still gaining strength and power..

As regards the inclusion of olympic lifting or that more explosive type of lifting into the routine, since I began about four weeks ago, I haven't actually gained any weight - still 81kgs - but people in the gym keep telling me that I'm getting huge.

I think it's related to the development of fast twitch fibers in the muscle, with the explosive lifting (snatches, clean and jerks, chins, push ups, and I include squats in this also), as oppose to straight muscle hypertrophy, as with repetition/power lifting (bench, deadlift etc).


I've found it very useful, recently, to split sessions up - that is, focus on the power lifting only, in one session, for weight gain, then the following day, only explosive lifting, for strength more relative to kickboxing/grappling etc - as they seem to work different parts of the muscle - I'm not really noticing any fatigue at all really.


Having said all that, I still refer back to the fact that I think, and many believe, that different routines work differently for the various body types.

After experimentation with pretty much everything, I think I've got a pretty good routine for myself, finally.



Watching this video, it's clear again, that different body types respond to different routines and exercises.
