Welcome to Hypertrophy Quest

 

Hello, world! 

Welcome to Hypertrophy Quest, a resource for things related to natural bodybuilding.

My mission is simple: to achieve bodybuilding goals in a natural and healthy way.

Natural bodybuilding is about living a long and healthy life in a body that suits you.

I started lifting weights because I wanted to look big and aesthetic, it's as simple as that. I assume that readers of this blog want the same result.

I hope to be able to share my hypertrophy techniques with you all in order to help you on your hypertrophy quest. 

One quick disclaimer though...

Most of the advice I give in this blog is based on my own knowledge and experience with the topic. I am not a major or doctorate in any medical or health-based practices. I'm just someone who happens to do this because it's a fun hobby. I work in technology, so lifting weights is like an escape from the desk that I'm at most of the day. Most of the information I provide is based on my interpretation of what seems to work and for the most part will consist of my own anecdotal evidence. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and always check the information against other informational sources out there.

With that said, I'm happy to have you here and I wish you luck on your hypertrophy quest.

My Current Hypertrophy Program

To start off this blog, I would like to share my current hypertrophy program. It is run 5 days per week (in a row Mon - Fri). It is a sort of butchered version of a PPL split, or maybe sort of an upper/lower program. The only requirement of this program is that the workouts must be able to be completed within an hour. I do my workout during my lunch break at work, so I only have an hour to spare. It does not hit everything "optimally," but I try to hit as much as I can given my schedule and my work capacity. A quick overview:  Legs 1 (Q) -> Upper Body (H) -> Arms / Weak points -> Legs 2 (H) -> Upper Body 2 (V) This program is not great at specializing in anything, but rather aims to build the entire body, and as such. Though as I am new to programming, there are probably many optimizations that could be made to it. Feel free to do whatever you would like with this program, consider it free.  Monday: Leg Day #1  (Quad Focus) Superset #1 Barbell Squat (3 sets 5-...

How to Grow Your Arms (as a Natural Lifter)

Arms are the Sign of a Bodybuilder The difference between bodybuilders and other fitness endeavors is a mindset. That mindset is shown primarily in their results. A strength athlete will have a big and strong torso, but smaller arms. A calisthenics athlete will have a large back and well developed shoulders and abs, but will have smaller legs, and a bicycler will have large and developed quads.  But a bodybuilder will have all of the above, and more. Of these muscle groups, one stands out among the rest. The arms. A lifter with large and muscular arms will stand out in a crowd. A large chest, back, and legs will be hidden under clothes in the crowd. But arms are displayed to the world. They fill the sleeves and make a figure look more imposing. When someone looks at a bodybuilder with large arms, they can tell that they lift. If you are on a hypertrophy quest, you better be working your arms. Minimal compound movements will not optimally grow your arms. You must treat them as a pri...
