Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy Lecture - Arnold Strength Training Summit 2010

This is a 5:00 minute sample of the one hour lecture presented by Michael Palmieri, CSCS, USAW, at the 2010 Arnold Strength Training Summit, and focused on using negatives to increase sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. For more info, go to www.dominateyourgame.com.

hey i got a question, i try using around 30 pound weights for my arms and will typically do 20 reps and 5 sets. For a 16 year old what kind of weight training would this be? i mean like hi/low rep and hi/low weight. Im trying to see if i can work myself up into doing a hi weight and hi rep workout to maximize endurance/energy and strength

It's hard to say without knowing the % of 1RM you're using. However, this method allows for hypertrophy without expending so much energy on higher rep schemes. More bang for your buck, in other words.

No prob. I cover these questions in the lecture, but that's what happens when you condense 1 hr in to 5 mins....lol.....

Yes, it does affect myo-hyp as well, but to a lesser extent. SH is mainly due to the expansion of the Sacromere in order to accomidate increased substrate fluids.

@1xSuperman You can make gains using less weight as well. Try use variation. Also don't be afraid to start cycling week-on, week-off to allow your joints to heal! There is no point working out if your injured anyway.

I have multiple joint injuries from shoulders all the way down to my knees. I can lift weights again but anything heavy is out of the question. Is it possible to gain muscle mass from sticking to 15 to 20 rep range for 12 sets. Lets say for example 12 to 20 reps of dumbbell chest press for 12 sets.

Thank you for the awesome video! what else can you suggest to watch on youtube that relates to the subject of maximizing exercise science efficiency and developing hypertrophy ?

Great vid Thanks. Wouldn't forced negative training also work on myofibril hypertrophy? I may of been misslead by a book to belive that Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy is mainly due to capillarization. Is this wrong? If not then how dose force negative increase capillarization. Sorry Im trying to combine what you said with what I heard in else where and make it work in my head.
