Thank you for watching! There's hardly any solid and detailed information on what muscle growth actually is on RUclips. I hope this series of videos can provide this while also be interesting and informative to all! As a side point, for the math aficionados out there, the muscle fibers shown in this video do not show the proportions they're meant to. For example, the muscle fiber shown at 2:50 is far from 85% myofibrils and 15% sarcoplasm. The reason the image of the muscle fiber does not truly equate to the percentages mentioned is simply due to visual reasons. The images used make it much simpler to for me to clearly animate and depict what myofibrillar hypertrophy, sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, and myofibrillar packing are.
Your content is just close to perfection... Really good, well explained and accurate info. + the really clean editing makes it easier to swallow. You've earned a sub here!
I have been delinquent in watching these videos. I am sorry. I moved at the end of May and Work got ridiculous after that. I am very appreciative of these. Much of what I have read is being easily explained here. Thank you! I never thought of it classed as all these ways. Looking forward to the rest of this series. God bless your work!
We'll be covering this over the course of the series. But here's my thoughts: sarcoplasmic hypertrophy most definately can occur in a temporary manner. Specifically, muscle fiber swelling can technically be classfied as sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (as we'll see). But, we'll also see there is evidence for more long-lasting sarcoplasmic hypertrophy that may be related to a disproportionate increase in sarcoplasmic proteins :)
Will you be talking about the relationship between muscle fiber types and growth in this series ? I'm curious if one can plateau in growth on a specific muscle fiber type ?
Not in this series of videos unfortunately. I think that's an interesting question. Currently, I don't know the answer as I haven't fully looked at the research in this area. But generally, fibers that can be categorized as "fast-twtich" appear to grow more than fibers categorized as "slow-twitch", thus, perhaps growth of slow-twitch fibers plateaus well before fast-twitch fiber growth plateaus. This is only my current thought and hypothesis, definately not a confirmed fact. Hopefully I'll get around to reading the research in this area and producing content from it :)
@@HouseofHypertrophy if true it may cause a shift in training. Where one starts lifting heavy / low reps to build up fast twitch...which would be underdeveloped compared to one's slow twitch max out.
Are you joking with me? With all these videos you made you have this little views and subs You should have by now at least 1 million subs Your content is amazing but RUclips aren't recommending your videos Like I searched many topics that were in your channel and didn't find it until yesterday Maybe RUclips is recommending your channel now who knows
Thank you for your kind words! Hopefully with time the channel can grow further. But even so, I'm still very grateful to my current subs and anyone who watches the videos :)
That's what this channel is about, haha! At the very simplest level, you want to be resistance training and continually aim to progressive overload. Manipulating/optimizing certain training variables overtime is what drives this.
You didn't cover and made mistakes about understanding density increases because you only covered cross sectional hypertrophy hence volumetric but there is also density hypertrophy that happens as well and you hinted at it several time but making it clear there is no conservation of volume by adding additional material to the muscles?
Great video, I am building a home gym but I have had issues with a shoulder injury in the past so bench pressing (especially heavy) feels uncomfortable, would you recommend getting a smith machine or just benching lighter with a Olympic barbell ?
Thank you, I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. Either one is probably fine, I'd say do whichever you like. Alternatively, if push-ups are comfortable, they are also a great option (they can be overloaded by weighted plates in a bag pack, resistance bands, or even just working towards one arm variations).
@@HouseofHypertrophy thanks for the advice I never do push ups but I watched your video on push ups vs the bench so I am definitely going to incorporate them , I can also go pretty heavy on dumbbell presses when I have my elbows facing inward more , so hopefully with that and press ups I can do enough to build a good amount of chest size
@@joelwilson4197 DO NOT USE A SMITH FOR BENCH PRESSES!!! I can't believe people think that's OK which only on variable arc Smith machines are they safe for shoulders. If your gym has a variable arc Smith then ok but even still I would switch completely to dumbbells bro! Also if your gyms seated press feels good then that's OK but either way I would abandon barbell benching? I myself did so due to my shoulder issues and my shoulder health improved. I use dumbbells and machines only (Careful though some machines are junk and cause shoulder harm?)
@@joelwilson4197 I didn't see you were making a home gym sorry. Save yourself a ton of money and just get a good set of dumbells which if you have an adjustable negative 15 to positive 90 bench and dumbells you have a complete home gym!!
Wait why would myofibrils increase with the sacroplasm decrease? I would think at most the myofibrils would increase and the sacroplasm would stay the same which would cause the ratio to change with some cross-sectional increase? I don't get why the body would increase the ratio of myofibrils to sacroplasm but total volume stay the same? I don't think that's how it works??
I thought about it and actually I like the fact you make no assumptions about anything and keep it to what's well defined and understood which is how science should always work so?
Thank you for watching!

Bro you should do a video on the igf1/mgf mechanism of hyperplasia!!!

No need to apologise, haha!
Thank you for you kind words and interest in these videos, it's really great to hear!
Thanks for the post. Looking forward to the series!
Thank you for watching, awesome to hear! :)
Busy with my CPT at the moment. This info is so wonderfully and succinctly put together! Thank you !!
Looking forward to it!
Awesome to hear, thank you!
Could you create a similar series explaining how fat cells change over time?
Cover results with resistance bands, that is if someone can get any considerable hypertrophy with resistance bands as primary form of training.
At some point, I will make a video on this :)
I can see so much of hard work in putted in making this video. Hats off
Thank you my friend!
This is the clearest explanation of muscle growth I've ever seen. Is Sarcoplasmic more temporary ? Is that the pump ? 😳
We'll be covering this over the course of the series. But here's my thoughts: sarcoplasmic hypertrophy most definately can occur in a temporary manner. Specifically, muscle fiber swelling can technically be classfied as sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (as we'll see). But, we'll also see there is evidence for more long-lasting sarcoplasmic hypertrophy that may be related to a disproportionate increase in sarcoplasmic proteins :)
Some books call the sarcoplasm reaction transient hypertrophy, and yeah it's the post exercise pump or swole
@@HouseofHypertrophy Is it virtually impossible to "not have" all forms of Hypertrophy occur at some point through progressive training ?
I don't think it is impossible. It's probably very possible. But unfortunately, the research if far from sufficient to provide a straight answer.
@@HouseofHypertrophy when will you be releasing the next videos ? Once a week ?
I learned several new things to follow up on. Thank you!
That's awesome to hear dude, thank YOU again!
Super hyped for the series man, can't wait 🙌
Really awesome to hear, thank you for tuning in!
Thank you for such a great effort.
No problem! Thank you :)

Great educational video
Thank you! :)
Fantastic overview for muscle growth! Thank you for your content and I am looking forward to watching the more in depth videos!

Hey dude, thank you for the kind words! :)
Excellent content as always.
Thank you!
That's awesome!....
So what to do to achieve my potential?
That's what this channel is about, haha! At the very simplest level, you want to be resistance training and continually aim to progressive overload. Manipulating/optimizing certain training variables overtime is what drives this.
So how does the growth actually happens it ot by muscle damage

Suaramu membuatku mengantuk🙂
You will be famous
Thank you :)
When's the next part out?
Monday :)
Is that Nujabes what I´m listening?
Not quite, haha. The two songs in this video are: 1) L'Indécis - Soulful chll.to/64a098ba and 2) L'Indécis - Departure
