The of a periodized hypertrophy program is designed to drive muscle growth by maximizing training volume and metabolic stress. In Series 4, Week 8 , we introduce the Rest-Pause method , an advanced "set extension" technique that allows you to squeeze more effective repetitions out of a single set than traditional training.

Using the rest-pause method at this stage forces your muscles to operate under significant fatigue, recruiting high-threshold, growth-prone fast-twitch fibers.
