Beginner Fitness: Can you train to cause hypertrophy in some muscle groups but only strength increase in others at the same time?

---

Can you train to cause hypertrophy in some muscle groups but only strength increase in others at the same time? Posted: 21 Feb 2021 01:42 PM PST According to this video I am linking below (and basically every online information source I could find), higher volume/lower intensity equals hypertrophy and higher intensity/lower volume equals strength without too much hypertrophy. From what I gather, in order not to gain too much mass you should also avoid going on a calorie surplus and be either on maintenance or a deficit. Can you however train some groups for hypertrophy and others just for strength at the same time (while on maintenance)? For example, if I did high volume/lower intensity arm and shoulder workouts and high intensity/lower volume abdominal workouts, would this give me bulky arms and shoulders and a trim but strong abdomen? Or you have to follow the same approach for the entire body? ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DozNYzi-6Oo&ab_channel=JordanSyatt submitted by /u/RadicalQueenBee [link] [comments]
