How Often Do Powerlifters Train Hypertrophy?
Although many people like to think about strength training and hypertrophy training as mutually exclusive methods of training, there is a lot of overlap between the two. Powerlifters train in high-volume, high-rep sets often and may need to stimulate muscular hypertrophy for increased strength gains. Although muscular hypertrophy is not the goal of powerlifting, it may be a necessary component of a powerlifting program.
