For hypertrophy, the absolute load on the bar is much less importantthan it is for strength. However, the 'intensity of effort' is critical, as ismake sure that your loads increase over time across the spectrum ofrep ranges you use in training.How Light is Too Light?A wider loading range can be effective for hypertrophy than for strength,but load is still important. The cardinal rule of progressive overload remainsapplies if your goal is muscle growth, meaning we need to lift weightsthat actually provides an overload.If you think about it, we're all under load all the time because we areon earth, which means that our muscles need to resist gravity in orderfor us to move around. If the magnitude of that load wasn't importantfor hypertrophy at all, we would all be as big as our genetics would bea few years after puberty, just from being on planet earth andconstantly experiencing 'time under tension'. So clearly, tension mustbe progressed for hypertrophy to continue.Two aspects of intensity are important for hypertrophy,'effort' (how close you are to failure), and to a lesser degree 'intensity'of load', how heavy or light the loads you train with are
