Hypertrophy-specific Training (HST)

Hypertrophy-Specific Training (HST) is a workout approach designed to increase muscle size, or hypertrophy, through a systematic and progressive method. It emphasizes lifting moderate weights with higher repetitions, focusing on both volume and frequency. HST typically involves rotating exercises every few weeks to target various muscle groups and prevent adaptation. It also incorporates principles like progressive overload, ensuring that weights and intensity increase over time. By training each muscle group multiple times a week, HST aims to maximize muscle growth while reducing the risk of injury and promoting better recovery.
