If you want to grow a specific muscle, choose exercises that directly target that muscle; for example, to build bigger biceps, do variations of bicep curls.

Generating isolated contractions is key for muscle hypertrophy, while strength training focuses on moving weights as a system.

Using a full range of motion in exercises is important, but it's essential not to rob yourself of the deep stretch, which is beneficial for muscle growth.

Good technique focuses on targeting specific muscles effectively; for instance, using the right form in squats ensures that the quads are properly engaged.

Controlling the eccentric phase of an exercise is crucial for muscle growth, as it requires less nervous system stimulus and can lead to greater gains with less fatigue.

My top ten exercises for building muscle include squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, and incline dumbbell presses, focusing on overall strength and muscle growth.

To improve muscle hypertrophy and strength, you can use specific aspects of muscular contraction without necessarily lifting heavy weights.

Pairing smaller muscle groups like biceps with legs can work well because bicep training doesn't significantly fatigue the body.

To get stronger, focus on progressively increasing the loads you move; for hypertrophy, aim for localized, intense muscle contractions, and moving weights in the 30% to 80% range of your one repetition maximum is the most beneficial for muscle hypertrophy and strength.
