Focusing too much on “the pump” to build muscle. Have you ever seen a muscular guy with large, but almost “puffy” looking muscles? This is caused by building muscle largely through high-rep sarcoplasmic training. You see…there are 2 types of muscle growth that affect the look of a muscle. Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy: This is growth caused by the increase in fluid (sarcoplasm) within a muscle cell. This is a fast way to increase the size of a muscle, but since sarcoplasm is a fluid and can’t contract…it won’t make the muscle significantly stronger. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy: This is actual muscle fiber growth. This adds a lot less to the size of a muscle than sarcoplasmic growth, but since muscle fiber can contract…it will make the muscles significantly stronger. Someone who focuses on the proper ratio displays full, dense looking muscles.
