The "Myth" of localized hypertrophy within a muscle

[Doitagain]

As we've seen countless times, official science "discovers" what we knew decades earlier.

Distinct muscle growth and strength adaptations after preacher and incline biceps curl

Interesting study, thanks for posting

But also study clearly illustrates the general advantage of cables and machines over free weights in terms of muscle tension throughout the entire range of motion in some movements. Here, it is evident that in the preacher curl, the upper phase where tension practically disappears resulted in weaker development, and similarly, the same occurred in the incline curl at the bottom part when tension is lost.

isnt proximal and distal hypertrophy within a muscle a known theory in the training?

Known in our circle.
The idea of a possible non-homogeneous growth through the muscle has been considered only in these past few years in the academic community.

Gotta throw $$$$$ down the drain to confirm this
