Hypertrophy means overgrowth or enlargement. For example, a muscle will hypertrophy with constant strenuous exercise (i.e. what we are all here for :D ) .
Hypertrophy is the opposite of atrophy, which was Neo's condition on leaving the Matrix

I guess instead of Hypertrophy-Specfic Training, it could be called Growth-Specific Training.
 
The term come from my language:

hyper: in excess
trophi: food

Free translation: excessive feeding, the result of excessive feeding :)
