Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy vs Myofibrillar Hypertrophy With Minus the Gym

Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy vs Myofibrillar Hypertrophy which is better and what are the differences. Many don't know that muscle hypertrophy branches out into two areas, Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and Myofibrillar Hypertrophy. When we are building muscle there are numerous things at play that will show in a increase in muscle size and strength. Myofibrillar hypertrophy is where we increase actually contractile tissue, we increase the number of the myofibrils leading to an increase in size , with sarcoplasmic hypertrophy the main adaption will be an increase in the sarcoplasm, this houses the energy reserves for the muscles. The way we train can have an impact on which of these will be the focus of our muscle growth. Depending on what rep range you focus on and therefore what intensity you lift at and the volume done can effect which one you will be more focused on. That be said that doesn't mean that doing high rep high volume work which would be more sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, that you wont build some contractile tissue, just more of a percentage of the gains will be via sarcoplasmic, you will also increase in strength just not like it you were to do low rep high intensity work.

Knowing the impact of our training can help a lot, there is no better version it all depends on what you are focused on. I f you want to both want to get strong and build muscle i recommend doing both high rep and low rep work. The low rep high intensity will you your strength training and will allow for strength gains and myofibrillar hypertrophy and the high rep work lower intensity will allow for building muscular endurance and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy and will make you overall more well rounded.
