Another study showing mTORC1 is not required for a mechanically induced increase in protein synthesis. The dogma about the presumed importance of mTORC1 in this process continues to erode away.
Our new paper is now out in @SciReports.
Time-of-day effect of high-intensity muscle contraction on mTOR signaling and protein synthesis in mice

Important: muscle hypertrophy may also be good for hamstring injury risk reduction. Two recent studies support having larger hammies to protect against damage from eccentric exercise.

Of course,we can train hypertrophy in many ways
