[AF] Does Higher Frequency Mean More Hypertrophy?
According to this image, the first three sets are the most effective for hypertrophy, with diminishing returns after that. Considering the recent popularity of the Upper-Lower split, would an U-L-U-L-U-L-R schedule lead to greater hypertrophy compared to a P-P-L-P-P-L-R routine, assuming you limit volume to three sets per muscle within a group in U-L to balance fatigue (and that all other variables stay the same)?
