Muscle contraction, pulling and pushing is all we do in gym. But negatives hold more importance than muscle contraction. The first 5-7 reps are pretty easy and as we progress after 12 reps, and go beyond 15 reps your negatives get bumpy. It’s not that you proceeded beyond 15 reps that helps in muscle hypertrophy, it’s actually how well you able control your negatives and perform well then after until your muscles gets fatigued. Our workout set actually is to run through higher reps and come to difficult negatives that provides extra punch to your muscles cells and when you able control it at last and try to perform 2-3 reps more until your muscles gets fatigued will have better pump and increase in overall power. This ensures better muscle hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is actually irrespective of how much you can lift but how well you can take yourself extra miles for the time being of reaching your fatigue point and how well you can control your ever challenging negatives and proceed further. This will also help you with your progressive overload as your power is challenged every time at peak or fatigue point and you make it as a habit of doing more better qualitatively than quantitatively.
