What does hypertrophy mean? Will gaining muscle make me look big?
Hypertrophy is the resistance training to induce muscle growth. It can be applied at different levels, going from simple increase in muscle mass for muscular balance to high hypertrophy levels such as in bodybuilding. Training for hypertrophy doesnt necessarily mean you will look bulky or big like a bodybuilder. If thats your goal, there are specific training methods for that and A LOT of work is required to achieve those levels. One of the benefits of muscular hypertrophy is the increase in muscle strength, which will be reflected in your daily life activities, and any sports that you may practice.
