Hypertrophy on first week of gym

[rufaiizapata]

Hi guys next week will be my first time at the gym ever, I'm 19 years old and I wonder if Hypertrophy training is recommendable the first week of training of should I start easy with light weights, thank you.

if you dive head first you will just be sore. go easy and set up a training split. as you build your conditioning you can slowly increase everything

i recommend focusing on compound lifts. you shouldn't even pick up a dumbbell or curl.

Hypertrophy (muscle gain) will occur anyway for such a newb

i think one theory behind the hst makes some good sense for a newbie. the theory being the start with lighter weights gives your connective tissues (which maybe are lacking in the conditioning and knowledge in technique for a new lifter) a chance to condition properly before taking on heavier weights.

You will have those beginner gains no matter what kind of training you do. I would recommend learning how to do the compound lifts properly though. Don't be one of those guys doing bicep curls in the mirror. Learn proper form on bench press, squats, deadlifts, military press, dips, pullups, rows.
