Hypertrophy training should be taken to muscular failure to be effective regardless of the specific repetition range used.
“The only caveat for hypertrophy is you have to take it to muscular failure.”

Slow, controlled repetitions are better than fast repetitions because they offer a significantly lower risk of injury.
“Risk way lower with a 422. Way lower with slow reps. >> Fast reps, the risk goes through the roof in comparison for athletic performance.”

“When you compare different rep ranges, the stretch portion produces double to triple the hypertrophy. So, of the entire range of motion, the stretch portion builds the most muscle.”
