Workout Synopsis:

This is a muscle hypertrophy workout, that will stimulate both muscle fibers and energy reserves. This is a lower body workout, hitting your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.

Hypertrophy Volume - This workout is focused on exercise volume. These are designed to deplete energy storages in the muscle, this is grow muscle size through sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. In order to correctly stimulate this hypertrophy sets should last about 30-40 seconds of work per set, with minimal pauses at the top or the bottom. Choose a weight to achieve this timed stimulation.

REST - Rest is important between sets, but you are not resting long enough to fully recover. The goal is to expend energy and push your muscles not to maximize the amount of weight every set.

Hypertrophy Growth Sets per Week - In order to build muscle it would be recommended to execute 10-20 working sets of each muscle group per week. Experienced athletes should execute 15-20 sets per week to build, while newer athletes could build muscle with 10 sets per week.
