closeLearned From Experiments and Experience

From your experiments and experience what would you consider a good training protocol for increasing skeletal muscle hypertrophy if the trainee is looking to use lesser loads? Many who have been involved with higher load training look for alternative solutions to maintain or increase lean body mass due to orthopedic issues that developed from this earlier training system.
Thank you for your time.

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. Recall we had our subjects go to fatigue, which is very important.

Are you still finding using the "30Fail" for four sets to be the most productive for muscle protein synthesis and in turn muscle hypertrophy? Are you testing different percentages of one rep max and different set volume in your new research?
Again, thank you for your time Dr. Phillips.
