Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy, Second Edition, is the most comprehensive resource on muscle hypertrophy in the world. Written by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, an internationally renowned expert on muscle hypertrophy, this book is the definitive resource for strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, sport scientists, researchers, and exercise science instructors who are seeking information regarding muscle hypertrophy, including the mechanism of its development, how the body structurally and hormonally changes when exposed to stress, ways to most effectively design training programs, and nutritional guidelines for eliciting hypertrophic changes. This new edition offers more than 1,000 references and applied guidelines. Two all-new chapters deliver practical content on the measurement of muscle hypertrophy and advanced training practices. Readers will learn various methods by which hypertrophy is measured, including site-specific measures (circumference measures, MRI, CT, and ultrasound), indirect measures (underwater weighing, DXA, BIA, ADP, and skinfolds), and histological measures (biopsy), as well as the strengths and limitations of each modality. The new edition also provides guidance for achieving greater training volumes with training practices that maximize the individual’s genetic potential to gain muscle. No other resource offers a comparable amount of content solely focused on the science of muscle hypertrophy and its application to designing training programs. The full-color book offers several features to make the content accessible to readers: Research Findings sidebars highlight the aspects of muscle hypertrophy currently being examined to encourage readers to re-evaluate their knowledge and ensure their training practices are up to date. Practical Applications sidebars outline how to apply the research conclusions for maximal hypertrophic development. Comprehensive subject and author indexes optimize the book’s use as a reference tool. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this book allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass. Sample programs show how to design a three- or four-day-per-week undulating periodized program and a modified linear periodized program for maximizing muscular development. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for those seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains for themselves or their athletes or clients and for those searching for the most comprehensive and authoritative research in the field.

Review: Filled with important, scientific evidence to enhance further understanding of Muscle Hyperthrophy - This Book was a very interesting read for myself and was a massive help to me throughout my studies. I recently graduated from a BSc Undergraduate degree in Sport, Exercise and Nutrition. This book definitely helped to boost my knowledge and understanding throughout my course and helped me to achieve a First Class Hons degree. Especially the exercise physiology modules, would definitely recommend purchasing this book to other students who study the same or a similar course. The level of evidence and research studies mentioned throughout the book was outstanding! Very clear and concise the whole way through. Excellent publish by the author ! Review: The Godfather of Muscle Building & Hypertrophy - Brad has shown time and time again his hard work and dedication to the fitness world by publishing game changing content and material and research for the use of others. This one is no different and goes into great depth to better your knowledge as a coach, PT, bodybuilder, gym goer or those with an interest in the body and human anatomy. Could not recommend this book enough!!

A purchase you physically cannot regret
I've had this book for a day at the time of writing. I've made it through the first two chapters and taken notes on all of it.(Believe me you'll want to) The information in this book is excellently presented. People of a basic understanding can comprehend the meaning of everything being said and delve into deeper detail than they're accustomed to, and those of a higher understanding can further their knowledge of the topic due to the sheer volume of information condensed into each paragraph. As a Personal Trainer, I'd recommend any fitness professional (or even regular gym goers) pick this up and ensure they read it cover to cover if they want to level up their knowledge of muscle building.

Absolute must buy
An absolute must buy for anyone interested in the body. The most indepth book when it comes to how the body works in relation to strength and written in a way that is easy to understand. Knowledge bombs all over the book 👍

The muscle building bible.
The most in depth finding on all things muscle. Brad has bore his soul into this work and it shows. Brilliant, informative and evolutionary.

Overpriced. Full of useless studies, unfortunately.
I enjoyed reading the book. Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean I learned anything. This book basically outlines how bad epistemology can be in the scope of nutrition science. I think the word 'science' got me, I was expected some in-depth analysis of scientific processes within the body and how they interact and trigger processes. This book delivered that very vaguely. I liked the information at the end about carbs and fats. That was.... helpful... but not £50 helpful. This one does not deserve a place on my bookshelf as most of the info in here can be found in a couple clicks on the old search engine.

Excelente Guia Cientítico para a Hipertrofia Muscular
Eu comprei as duas edições deste livro e ela são ambas excelentes! O conhecimento sobre o desenvolvimento da hipertrofia é exposto com profundidade e clareza e qualquer pessoa tem a possibilidade de entender todo o conteúdo! Embora seja um riquíssimo livro técnico para profissionais, eu recomendo este livro para qualquer pessoa que queira dominar a ciência da hipertrofia, para os seus objetivos pessoais ou para ajudar outras pessoas!

Great, solid book
Really enjoying this book. I've followed the author for years and respect him. I am a trainer and have been for a long time. I find this book easy to read and has a great amount of useful information. I've seen some reviews that say its a bit scientific and then others saying its nothing new...I don't agree with either. He explains well, backs everything up and its easy to research further if I wish to. As to nothing new...its uptodate and explains itself...so really....a great solid book and a welcome edition to my book shelf.

Greatfully recommended by an Amazon reviewer
This is a great book. If you want to know the science of Muscle Hypertrophy, this book and Designing Resistance Training Programs by Steven J. Fleck and William J. Kraemer (also recommended by Scott). buy both books. I also think the practical programming book is a great resource I've re-read and tried to completely learn.

Every fitness enthusiast should read this book!
Brad wrote the book (second edition) which should be read by any fitness enthusiast. As in 2016, in 2020, the book opens the door to the basic aspects of muscle hypertrophy with reference to the latest research. It is written in such way that anybody can profit from provided informations. Mainly, I love parts with a practical application of (read) theoretical knowledge, which perfectly completes the whole story. Thank you Brad for a such great book and work in fitness field.
