Compound Exercises for Strength and Hypertrophy

Many people that are going to the gym focus to hypertrophy, for those that don’t know what muscle hypertrophy is, that is increase in size of skeletal muscle through a grow of its component cells. We can say that muscle hypertrophy is muscle gain, that have the same meaning. And I mostly see questions about muscle gain when I am searching the web but a lot of people don’t think about a very important fact:

You need to get more stronger to gain more muscle mass. That works together. If you only lift same amount of weight for one year you won’t see some results. That is the rule muscles function. Muscles get very easy adapted to one weight and they can not increase in size if you are lifting that weight all the time.

Lifting weight from 10 to 12 won’t get you very stronger. That means you are lifting weights that is not very heavy for you and that does not increase your strength. You must follow some programs on the web that are created for strength gain or some powerlifter’s programs. Yeah, I also imagined powerlifters as fat big guys that are not aesthetic and they eat too much calories, either healthy and junk food. But they are not, some of them are very fit and incredibly strong.
