- Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of pyramid weight training methods and an inverted pyramid on the arm and thigh muscle hypertrophy of fitness club members. This type of research is a quasi-experimental that involved 24 samples. Measurement of arm and thigh muscle hypertrophy used meter tape and skinfold. To calculate the arm and thigh muscle circumference, the formula MTC- (3.14 x TSF) is used. Data were analyzed by t-test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that (1) there was an effect of the pyramid weight training method on arm muscle hypertrophy, with tcount = 18.57>ttable = 1.80, (2) there was the influence of the pyramid weight training method on thigh muscle hypertrophy, with tcount = 23,35>ttable = 1.80, (3) there is an effect of the inverse pyramid load training on arm muscle hypertrophy, with tcount = 7.84>ttable = 1.80, (4) there is the influence of the pyramid load training method on muscle hypertrophy thigh, with tcount = 7.90>ttable = 1.80, (5) pyramid weight training method gives a better influence than the inverse pyramid load training method for arm muscle hypertrophy, with tcount = 3.33>ttable = 1.72, and (6) pyramid weight training method gives a better effect than the inverse pyramid load training method to thigh muscle hypertrophy, with tcount = 2.05>ttable = 1.72. In other words, the pyramid weight training method provides a better effect than the inverse pyramid weight training method for arm and thigh muscle hypertrophy.
