If I remember rightly studies have shown that the biggest factor contributing to hypertrophy is volume. So whatever you choose, just do lots of it

The stronger you are, the more weight you can put up. The more weight you put up, the more your body will adapt to the weight. Hypertrophy is a side-effect of strength. That being said, just balance intensity and volume and have high exercise selection and you'll be golden.

hypertrophy Isn't useful though

At least 3 sets of 8+ reps.

For Hypertrophy:

>If hypertrophy is the goal, the weight just needs to be heavy enough. It is often said
that the 8-12 rep range is the ideal rep range for hypertrophy but in fact there’s nothing
magical about this range. It’s just a convenient range to accumulate volume.

>Lower intensity work (12-15 rep range) will also induce hypertrophy although it is
less efficient on a set by set basis. However, it is still beneficial to use lighter loads to
theoretically give fibers with a high endurance capacity more stimulation, and there is
certainly an argument to be made that training with lighter loads at points is good for
connective tissue health, offering a break while still providing a training stimulus.

>It’s important to not forget the usefulness of high intensity (1-6 rep range) strength
work even if the main goal is hypertrophy. Getting stronger is important for progressive
overload. When you’re stronger, you can use heavier weights which allows you to do
more volume more easily, so it is a good idea to include some heavy work as well.

>Put this all together and here are practical recommendations for intensity for hypertrophy:

>Perform 2/3-3/4 of your volume in the 6-12 RM range, and the other 1/4-1/3 in the
lower rep higher intensity (1-6 RM) and higher rep lower intensity ranges (12-15RM).

what if I told you strength was actually a side effect of hypertrophy?

Hypertrophy is useful to build a muscle base for getting your numbers high. It's got nothing to do with aesthetics which would also include body fat percentage.
