Summary

This conversation explores the topic of technique for muscle hypertrophy. The hosts discuss the definition of technique and its importance for maximizing muscle growth. They delve into the effect of range of motion on hypertrophy and the use of different rep tempos. The conversation also touches on the use of pauses and isometrics in training. The hosts emphasize the need to consider sensations and practicality when choosing exercises. They caution against extremes in technique and discuss the use of cheat reps. The conversation explores the impact of external momentum on hypertrophy and the importance of avoiding momentum in exercises. It also discusses the role of stability in exercise selection and the fallacy of harder exercises being better. The misconception of over-queuing in exercise technique is addressed, as well as the lack of research on exercise-specific kinematics and muscle growth. The conversation concludes with closing thoughts on exercise technique for hypertrophy and the need for graded exposures to different positions and capacities.
