Document Summary
Compensatory hypertrophy: i. e. if you want to work on the biceps, take away the other muscle that does the same job and just the biceps will be working harder because it is doing the work of both. If you have synaptic connections, you have points of control or modification. Enhanced output during training is because you ramped up something at the supraspinal level (could be neurotransmitters, synamptic connections, etc. ) Interneurons are there but nobody knows what they do. In = interneuron; mn = motoneuron; e = extensor; f = flexor. Assume that neural factors are important at the very beginning (when you have never done it before) but then they probably become less important as you have trained in it. Muscle takes some time to ramp up but it will eventually be the muscle that makes someone stronger and stronger.
