The effect of training using the ROST method on muscle hypertrophy in advanced bodybuilders

Abstract

This study aimed to develop training programs using the ROST method for muscle hypertrophy in advanced bodybuilders. The researcher used the experimental method as it was suitable for the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of 16 bodybuilders registered at private gyms, divided into two equal groups. The first experimental group trained using the ROST method, while the second control group trained using the traditional method. The research sample underwent pre- and post-tests for anthropometric measurements, which included the muscles of the arms, chest, shoulders, thighs, and calves. The training period lasted for eight weeks, with four training sessions per week. After obtaining the results, they were statistically analyzed using the SPSS statistical package. The researcher concluded that the ROST method training had a positive effect on developing muscle hypertrophy in the arms, chest, shoulders, thighs, and calves under study. The researcher recommends the use of this method. The ROST method of training has a positive effect on developing muscle mass in advanced bodybuilders.
