340 for multiple triples sounds like a decent session to me.

Unless you wrote all that to indirectly say the 340 for 3x3 I did the other day was awful.

No. I could just tell I was leaving a ton in the tank. My back, legs and pretty much everything felt like shit. And I still had a decent speed. My bottom lacked power, though. unusual for me.
 
Anyway, regarding where in Supertraining it's mentioned that time is a factor in hypertrophy - specific rest times are given where submaximal methods and hypertrophy are discussed. In the edition I'm looking at it's page 394. It also talks about muscle hypertrophy starting on page 62 - and it doesn't come right out an say that time is a factor, but it's implied, and it's follows that if the energetics theory of hypertrophy, that it supports, is correct, that time is important.

After reviewing said sections, all I have to say is "don't use supertraining as a bible in exercise physiology". The entire section discussing about plausible mechanisms for muscle hypertrophy has very few references, with the most recent reference dating back to 1990. There wasn't even any sort of research on gene expression and signaling factors back then. And the chapter about submaximal methods simply describes the methods commonly used in practice; the statement "the classical bodybuilding method is one of the best known elementary bodybuilding methods and involves 2-5 sets of 8-10 reps with the same load, allowing a rest interval of 2-5 mins between sets" makes no scientific claims about the specific role of rest times.

If you want to make scientific conclusions on the the important stimuli and corresponding mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy, you'd be well served to look into the data coming from all the scientific research of the last 10-15 years (which is incomparable in both quantity and quality compared to the data existing before that).
 
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. But I will say it makes complete sense to me that there'd be a physiological adaptation to increasing work density, and that part of this adaptation would be hypertrophy of the parts of muscles that are being increasingly stressed.
 
Alot of science and talk of male butts in here
 
Bro day.

That's what I thought as well. :)
Brandon Lilly is probably one of the powerlifters I find to seem nicest. And his beard is great.

I think he's from the South. If you ever come to the states visit the South. It's a different culture from the rest of the U.S. #feelingsuperior
