Summary: <a href="http://rdellatraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Functional-Hypertrophy.jpg"></a>What is Functional Hypertrophy and why do we need it? In this week's show, I'll give you a basic introduction to this topic and explain what it is, why we need it, and how to train for it. I believe this is a really important training concept to understand and benefit from. It's important for athletes and non-athlets and I'll share with you how to use it to help maximize your physical performance and potential. Here's some of what you'll learn this week: What is Functional Hypertrophy (a.k.a. Myofibrillar or Sarcomere hypertrophy) How does this differ from Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy? How this will help our training and performance. What are the specific benefits? The importance of the Type II (fast twitch) muscle fiber How we can strategically train and target for Functional Hypertrophy And, much more related to strength, performance, and hypertrophy training If you enjoy this episode, please help the show and drop a quick review in iTunes or Stitcher.
