Hypertrophy

Hypertrophy is all about making your muscles bigger and stronger. It happens when you do specific types of weight training that cause your muscle fibers to grow. Think of it like pumping up a balloon—the more you work your muscles, the bigger they get. In CrossFit, hypertrophy training involves lifting moderate to heavy weights with a focus on high repetitions and good form.
