Technically speaking, hypertrophy is the point where your muscle growth is greater than muscle breakdown. In simple terms, this is when your muscles are getting bigger rather than staying the same or shrinking.
To successfully build muscle, you want to spend as much time as possible in this “growth zone.”
Many factors affect muscle growth (and breakdown). The most obvious ones are:
✅ Training – Using your muscles through exercise, especially resistance training like lifting weights or bodyweight exercises.
✅ Food – Eating enough of the right nutrients, particularly protein, to support muscle repair and growth.
Some training and nutrition plans are designed to optimise muscle growth as quickly as possible. However, these strict routines can be hard to stick to, even for highly motivated people.
The real secret to success is making small, sustainable changes that fit into your lifestyle and help you enjoy the process—so you can stay in the hypertrophy zone without feeling overwhelmed.
I specialise in finding the unique factors that make a plan work for you, ensuring you build muscle in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
