BOOK​

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy, Second Edition, is the most comprehensive resource on muscle hypertrophy in the world. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, Ph.D., an internationally renowned expert on muscle hypertrophy, this book is the definitive resource for strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sports scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors who are seeking information regarding muscle hypertrophy, including the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and nutritional guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes.

This new edition offers more than 1,000 references and applied guidelines. Two all-new chapters deliver practical content on the measurement of muscle hypertrophy and advanced training practices. Readers will learn various methods by which hypertrophy is measured, including site-specific measures (circumference measures, MRI, CT, and ultrasound), indirect measures (underwater weighing, DXA, BIA, ADP, and skinfolds), and histological measures (biopsy), as well as the strengths and limitations of each modality. The new edition also provides guidance for achieving greater training volumes with training practices that maximize the individual’s genetic potential to gain muscle.

No other resource offers a comparable amount of content solely focused on the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application in designing training programs. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers:

• Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date.
• Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development.
• Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s use as a reference tool.

Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this book allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development.

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for those seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains for themselves or their athletes or clients and for those searching for the most comprehensive and authoritative research in the field.

Brad Schoenfeld is probably one of the leading authorities on muscle hypertrophy. He takes science and blends it in with his experience in the gym.

Definitely adding to my library. Of interest to me personally:

Chapter 7. Factors in Maximal Hypertrophic Development
Genetics
Age
Sex
Training Status

I am still training pretty much the way I did as a younger man, albeit with lighter weight. The muscle is still there, but the joints are not what they used to be. I am open to expanding my thoughts on what it takes to maintain, and perhaps enhance muscle mass as an older (God help me it's painful to say that) man. Some science based protocols are a welcome addition.

Thanks for a good reference.

Kindle version for 41.00. purchased... I'll be getting into this tomorrow. Thanks MM
