Because I’m still young (16 years old)
I can still potentially induce more hyperplasia in my muscles, I know for a fact that right now, I will do nothing impressive like 500 raw bench or something like that, so, I just want to set up for epic win later on.
If this is even possible, what would maximize hyperplasia, if you are still subject to such type of growth. Because, I clearly remember studies showing that hyperplasia occurs more in younger teens and kids, and, not in adults.
I would try lifting weights and eating. I think I remember reading that in some study, it might help.
You can’t really train specifically to induce hyperplasia. It is only one of the ways the body can adapt to mechanical strain. And it is only a last resort adaptation mechanism at that.
So you really can’t say ‘‘I’m gonna do this for hypertrophy, this for hyperplasia, this for satellite cell proliferation, etc.’’, it doesn’t work like that.
You train hard and the body will use the various adaptation strategies it has to cope with the stress. But hyperplasia is highly unlikely to play a significant role in muscle growth in most people.
What about stretch position overload? Can that induce it?

Studies done on hyperplasia have shown that loaded stretches caused hyperplasia. But they basically hang weights on animal limbs, forcing a loaded stretch for hours, if not days. So I’m not sure how much of that info you can apply to overloading the stretch position during an exercise (i.e. with a fast turnaround or deadstarts). If something that you do in the gym were to potentially cause hyperplasia, this would likely be it as it is the method more closely duplicating the type of overload that caused the hyperplasia in studies.
BUT I’m not willing to make that connection yet. YES I’ve seen amazing results from overloading the stretch position. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s because it caused more hyperplasia.
So the body can adapt making more muscle cells?, Since i’ve been always told that the muscle cells can’t duplicate themselves (mitosis, hyperplasa), they can only get bigger (hypertrophy).
Now, i know that hyperplasia can occur when “supplemental” GH is present (and by the long term right?), but can hyperplasia occur naturally?
Also, that stretch study is similar to the extreme stretches that the DC guys do, only that the DC guys do them for a few minutes. But anyway the goal of their stretches is fascia enlargement and not hyperplasia if i’m not mistaken.
