007 Do all training programs maximise hypertrophy eventually?

Update: 2025-07-06

Description

In this episode of Hypertrophy: Past and Present, Jake Doleschal and Chris Beardsley return to Reg Park, but this time explore one of his most advanced programs. They compare this higher volume plan to Park’s earlier abbreviated routine before exploring whether all training programs eventually lead to the same outcome, and which variables actually determine your muscular potential.

Key Topics:

How Reg Park’s exercise selection evolved from bulk to shape
The physiology behind fibre-specific muscle damage
Why exercise selection and frequency determine your end result
What volume actually does (and doesn’t) achieve when it comes to muscle growth
Why different exercises once a week is often worse than repeating the same exercise twice
