Hypertrophy training vs Strength training

More like technique training. Put the arm wrestler in the gym and he may not out lift the bodybuilder.

arm wrestling a legitimate sport. its very different from thr arm wrestling you challenge your friends to. some differenw are that you are allowed to use your WHOLE bodyweight (your friends will always say you cheat use bodyweight etc ) and you're allowed to use certain techniques like bending your wrists.

so yea might as well say soccer player challenge a basketball player in basketball. totally different fields of expertise.

arm wrestlers dont only use strength training though, they do alot of isolation work on tje biceps like preacher curls and static biceps holds. but the elite arm wrestlers are all strong as **** and have superb technique. google john berznk

this video has absolutely nth to do with hyper vs strength training

lol are we suppose to debate or something cos i'm not sure what's the point of this strength vs hypertrophy thingy

Tis is like you put bruce lee against bolo yueng. An expert in martial arts no matter how small/skinny is always able to kick at the right spot and moment.

Rob Riches' "Nice body what can you do with it" series is so much better..

if anything, the vid OP posted is about the importance of specificity in training

edit; found another nice comparison clip

Effects of different volume-equated resistance training loading strategies on muscular adaptations in well-trained men.

Abstract
Regimented resistance training has been shown to promote marked increases in skeletal muscle mass. Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a wide range of resistance training programs, the principle of specificity, which states that adaptations are specific to the nature of the applied stimulus, dictates that some programs will promote greater hypertrophy than others. Research is lacking, however, as to the best combination of variables required to maximize hypertophic gains. The purpose of this study was to investigate muscular adaptations to a volume-equated bodybuilding-type training program versus a powerlifting-type routine in well-trained subjects. 17 young men were randomly assigned to either an HT group that performed 3 sets of 10RM with 90 seconds rest or an ST group that performed 7 sets of 3RM with 3 minutes rest. After 8 weeks, no significant differences were noted in muscle thickness of the biceps brachii. Significant strength differences were found in favor of ST for the 1RM bench press and a trend was found for greater increases in the 1RM squat. In conclusion, this study showed both bodybuilding- and powerlifting-type training promote similar increases in muscular size, but powerlifting-type training is superior for enhancing maximal strength.
