Thanks. Great info guys.
So I'm curious, do people use the "rep rules of lifting" just as reference points? I'm guessing this is the case. As long as we progressively overload and develop substantial amounts of microtrauma hypertrophy is inevitable (with the correct nutrition of course). I guess my question is: If we ignore neuronal adaptation and other benefits of periodization, are there large differences of microtrauma produced between a 5 rep program and an 8-12 rep? Or does it just not matter all that much?
