Question: You are required to write accurate scientific answers to the following questions, with each answer up to a maximum of two-pages.

Do you believe there is sufficient scientific evidence to support the prescription of 'heavy' weights for a novice, as opposed to 'light' weights (consider heavy being in the 4 to 8 repetition maximum band, and light being 20 to 25 repetition maximum loading)? Provide information for underyling mechanisms associated with driving strength and hypertrophy, as well as gains in strength and hypertrophy from different types of training program in your answer.

Do you think large muscle mass exercises (e.g. squats) need to be prescribed at the start of a program, before more isolated muscle group exercises (e.g. leg extensions, bicep curls) to maximize hypertrophic gains? i.e. will I get better gains for biceps hypertrophy by prescribing squats at the start of a workout? Explain your answer with appropriate scientific evidence, showing understanding of the mechanisms for hypertrophy, and the relevance of an acute hormonal response with regards to the training stimulus.
