What do you think about this? I wanted to do the shoulders
never heard of it, what is this?
"Explaining hyperplasia:
Everyone who’s so far as watched an Athlean-X video knows about hypertrophy, the process where your muscle fibres get bigger in response to stimuli, but hardly anyone has heard about hypertrophy’s older brother: hyperplasia.
Hyperplasia makes new muscle cells, instead of just making the old ones bigger.
And the best part about it is that once you have these new muscle cells, there’s no losing them. You could eat like shit and train like a spaz, but you’d still have those muscles.
In terms of building size, hyperplasia isn’t necessarily superior to hypertrophy, but by increasing the number of muscle cells before you pump them up with hypertrophy, you strongly increase your muscle-building potential and you can surpass what would otherwise have been your ‘natural limit’.
Meaning that even if you were born with less muscle cells than average, you could make up for it and more if you could undergo hyperplasia again.
So that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
By combining a good diet, unorthodox training regimes and a few ‘special supplements’, we can increase the number of muscle cells in the muscles that matter: the lats, delts, chest and arms."
"Training for hyperplasia
Training for hyperplasia is very odd, but here are the steps:
Pick two aesthetic muscles (or genetic weak points for you in terms of musculature)
Train both of them every day with five sets of 30 reps.
Make sure your rests are short enough that you stay warm and that your muscles get a good pump of blood going to them.
After directly exercising, perform weighted stretches.
This is where you stretch out a muscle with weight pulling the other way.
An example of this for the lats would be a dead hang.
An example for the biceps would be holding a dumbbell at ~5% of your curl range of motion, so it isn’t just hanging there but you aren’t bringing it up either.
Do this for a month.Once you have finished that month, do not train for the next month.Repeat with two new muscle groups."
seems like cope to me but if theres strong studies on it could be interesting to try
