Strength, Muscular Endurance & Hypertrophy

What is the definition of maximal strength?

• Lifting heavy weights

• Ability to produce multiple muscle contractions without fatigue

• To exert maximal force in a single contraction

• Producing lots of force quickly

What is the definition of strength/muscular endurance?

• Lifting heavy weights

• Ability to contract a muscle repeatedly without fatigue

• To exert maximal force in a single contraction

• Producing lots of force quickly

Which of the following intensities and volumes induce muscle hypertrophy?

• 85%RM 1-6 Reps

• 60-85% 8-12 Reps

• <60% 15+ Reps

• All of the above

What is Muscle hypertrophy

• Strength x Speed

• Increase size in the muscle

• Increase strength of the muscle

• Increase power of the muscle
