It_s all about hypertrophy and progressive overload. If you_re after toned shoulders, bigger guns, a defined chest, strong legs, and lifted glutes, the best way to make it happen is to increase the mass and size of your muscle tissue with hypertrophy. You can build muscle in a variety of ways with a variety of training programs, but the most effective overall strategy for optimizing growth is progressive overload: the gradual increase of weighted stress placed upon the body during exercise training. Progressive overload is important for both hypertrophy and strength training because you cannot grow muscles without getting stronger. So while hypertrophy increases size, strength training increases the ability of muscles to lift more weight. "Your load and strength should always be steadily increasing, even as you build muscle size," says Nicolette Amarillas, a certified strength and conditioning coach at Tonal. "Tonal_s build muscle category is a mix of hypertrophy-specific programming and strength programming," she adds.
