Review of the physiology of muscle building.  The authors review the evidence behind the types of muscle building exercises and the physiology responsible for muscle hypertrophy.  The authors point to Schoenfeld's description of mechanical tension, muscle damage, and metabolic stress to build muscle.

very nice review of the mechanism of muscle building per the current understanding found in science.

Awesome review by Schoenfeld on the physiology of muscle hypertrophy.

Review of the evidence behind resistance training.

mTOR signaling pathway involved with building muscle (hypertrophy)

Thorough review on resistance training and the effects on muscle.

Nice review of recent understanding of how resistance training promotes muscle hypertrophy adaptation.

8 weeks of resistance training in patients with sarcopenia and diabetes found to improve glycemic control

Only abstract available here: compound resistance treaining in highly trained young men found to increase GH and Testosterone over isolation exercises. Those that trained > 2 years had significnt increase in Testosterone pre/post exercise compared to no statistical change in those traing < 2 years.

no training benefit with pyramid and drop-set workouts compared to traditional resistance training.  The key is repeitition, proper technique and just doing it.

Study finds 2-4 resistance training episodes per week is optimal.   Strength increased across the 3 time groups evaluated.  The presence of inflammation is key in the interval between and # of workouts per week.  Study found a point of plateau and diminishing returns.
