The common assertion in strength training literature (I use that term loosely) is that compound movements must be done (and short rest intervals used) to maximize the growth hormone output associated with training to accentuate muscle hypertrophy.

Today my good friend Bret Contreras posted a guest blog by a really brilliant guy (guess who) investigating this very notion.  You can check it out HERE.

On a side note, ever since I sent Bret the initial article he keeps sending me emails saying something about how Jamie Eason affects his “Growth Hormone”.  Not really sure what he’s getting at, but I wish he’d keep it to himself.  :)
