072 Why you’re probably reading hypertrophy studies wrong

In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris start with a bizarre 1950s workout from Barton Horvath before breaking down how to actually understand hypertrophy research. They discuss what common measurements such as muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, EMG and strength testing really tell us, where they can mislead us, and why understanding the physiology behind a study matters as much as reading its results.

Key topics include:

  • Barton Horvath’s 1950s “unusual” routine
  • What researchers actually mean when they measure “hypertrophy,” and the differences between muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, muscle volume and muscle biopsies
  • What EMG can and cannot tell us about muscle activation, recruitment and exercise selection
  • What researchers actually mean by “recovery"
  • Why vertical jump performance can be more sensitive to fatigue than maximal isometric strength
  • The difference between a large numerical effect and a statistically significant effect
