Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is hypertrophy?
A
An increase in muscle mass
B
A decrease in muscle mass
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle hypertrophy occurs when muscle protein synthesis exceeds muscle protein breakdown and results in positive net protein balance in cumulative periods [7]. This could be achieved with both RT and protein ingestion, which stimulates muscle protein synthesis and leads to decreases in muscle protein breakdown [8].

Detailed explanation-2: -If you’re looking to visibly build muscle mass, hypertrophy training will yield the largest size gains. To enhance muscle size, it’s vital to increase the overall volume (reps and sets) during your session. To do it, increase your reps (8-12), and lift moderate to heavy loads (65 to 85-percent of one rep max).
