There are two different kinds of hypertrophy that you force your muscles to go through via lifting: one that builds primarily strength, one that builds primarily size. To achieve the strength one you should do sets at like 90% of ur max of 1-5 reps. This trains ur nervous system/muscles to work harder, and will get a lot stronger without too much weight gain. To gain a lot of muscle mass, one should do 8-12 reps at like 60-80% of ur max. This really tears down ur muscles, and upon rebuilding them, a lot of non-contractile muscle tissue is formed. Thus, you get bigger but not too much stronger. And definately, eat, and eat lots of protein to help rebuild ur muscles.
