The 3 Mechanisms of Rapid Muscle Explained & Applied!

Published: Wed, 07/22/15

Did you know that there are three research-supported 
mechanisms for RAPID muscle growth?

If you neglect any one of them, you’re leaving a ton 
of gains on the gym floor.

Ask the biggest and baddest dudes at your gym for 
advice on adding muscle and you’ll likely get a variety 
of suggestions:

“Go heavy or go home,” the powerlifters boast.

“Chase the pump and go till it burns,” the bodybuilders reassure.

“Keep the body guessing every workout,” the CrossFitters state.

Oddly, each of these statements holds truth, but for 
maximal muscle growth you’ll need a plan that cycles 
all three protocols.

This is not theory. A 2010 paper in the Journal of Strength 
& Conditioning Research by Brad Schoenfeld showed that 
there are three critical mechanisms of hypertrophy – 
mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage.

This is not new information and to many lifters these 
mechanisms make good sense, however, to many other 
lifters, the list a bit abstract so at the link below you’re going 
to learn, in plain and simple language, HOW to apply them 
correctly for RAPID muscle growth:
