Sliding Filament Theory Please! - You're the man, I appreciate your work

[silianrailmusic]

Your descriptions and the visuals are helping me so much in my Exercise Science class. The info is laid out much better than the textbook! Thanks so much.

Just to let you know, Hyperplasia is the neogenisis of musclefibres not Myofibrills. Neogenisis of Myofibrills would be Hypertrophie

[abdelhafidachtaou]

Great video, thank you for your amazing explaination. 🤩I just want to point a small mistake here 4:16 "Myofibril can become part of a myofiber" and not the oppposite as you said. Just to avoid confusion.

Thank you again!

[elijahgreen]

Definitely a yes on the follow-up videos!! Awesome job Matt!

[Ryhno]

Great content as always. Would love to see a follow up on the Myofibrillar vs Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy. Keep up the great work!

[demetriawilson]

fabuolus video. thank you for breaking this down.

[SuccessMindset]

Muscle hypertrophy is archieved by microtrauma caused by training and muscle protein synthesis by nutrition

[irwnrzp]

Would love to know about Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. And also how Myofibrillar hypertrophy and Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy plays a different role in muscle growth. And what leads to which hypertrophy.

Always waiting for your videos👍🏽.

I came here for sliding filament theory and now ima here, HEY MAN U ARE ABSOLUTELY AWSOME WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK

[johntatman]

Basically you're explaining normal autophagy. Was this increase measured by muscle biopsy/MRI and can you reference the actual studies showing this?

[leogeorges]

Awesome! Thought this was very informative. Thanks for going into the details for this type of hypertrophy. Loved to see new videos on everything you mentioned!👍

[taurusview]

Hi, I wish you had included Carb and Protein intake (food that is) in that cycle and impacts of which. Thank You!

[carolinepalmer]

Great content!!! Always up for those follow up videos!! Thanks Matt!

[CoachZATH]

yes make a video on sliding filament theory

[gatorgoode]

The answer to your first question is tren my friend

[bemerlo]

Love your videos! Great content, explained simply. Would love videos on everything you mentioned! Much appreciation!

[brigidaleony]

Hi, what a great description and explanation you gave! But by any chance, can you drop the source of information?
Thanks!

[samuellewis]

Did you already make a video comparing this to the other process you mentioned in the video? Thanks Matt!

[madhurjyachakraborty]

Sir, please adding subtitles in your videos, so that I can easily note down few things
