I'll let people who are much more knowledgeable than I in the field of muscular hypertrophy discuss such fine points as to whether there is or there isn't a level of muscle hypertrophy due to ultra low rep training. My point is this: Olympic weightlifters belong to a sport that does not feature muscle hypertrophy on any of its training radars. What it features and focuses its attention on is the improvement of the lifter's neuromuscular efficiency above and beyond any other factor. It's this NME that would allow the weightlifter to activate and recruit the maximum amount of muscle fibers as possible, in the shortest amount of time possible.no way you get hypertrophy from 1-3 reps. what you do get is hitting different muscle fibers.
and 1-3 is a specific fiber
I've previously made mention of the strength and power that a chimpanzee monkey has, and the reason behind such strength from an animal that has never visited a gym once or lifted any barbell whilst living in some zoo. The "secret" to this animal's strength lies in his ability to activate and recruit all his muscles at once at any given moment in time. We humans are a finely tuned machine, where we can manage to perform a super delicate task as the threading of a needle, and we can also lift huge weights when we train for it. The chimp lacks this fine tuning, hence his all or nothing muscular recruitment is what separates his strength and power from ours.
