I do make one assumption to arrive at my conclusion that training Slow Twitch muscle fibres is detrimental during training for a strength competition; the assumption I make is that Slow Twitch fibres will always gain increased endurance during adaptation (or at least gain more endurance then strength), and that Slow Twitch fibres can not be converted to Fast Twitch fibres or
gain more strength then endurance during adaptation.

I cook my chickpeas and
then leave them in the pot for a few hours, which makes aquafaba
gain more strength as it sits around — often that is enough to make it quite thick and jelly - like.
The most important advantage of this squat variant is that it forces you to pause at the bottom, which
then forces you to recruit
more muscle fibers to get out of the hole and back up, and that translates to bigger
strength and mass
gains.
love this routine, I have made great
gains and
strength, I have modified it slightly I do a «light A»
then a «light B», Heavy A and
then a Heavy B
then back to the light A My A day looks like this; Squats, Bench press, one arm row, machine row, weighted pull ups My B day looks like this; Dead lifts, over head press (strict, standing), bent over row, incline bench
then weighted dips my heavy day is as prescribed above, my light days are less weight but
more reps, less break in between ie..
If you want to learn
more, though, and particularly how to get the most muscle and
strength gain from your workouts as possible,
then you want to check out this article:
If you're someone who has been training for a while and are looking to lose weight while also maintaining your
strength then you would be best to focus
more upon
strength training — but you had better keep in mind that the
more severe your weight loss goal the less likely you are to
gain strength rather than simply maintain it.
However, a bigger muscle has far
more potential to
gain strength whereas a stronger muscle can deal with
more volume (which we'll look at later) which
then means that size
gains can come
more easily.
Hi gor years I've been eating around 600 cals a day
then binging at weekend I've recently started to eat
more 1625 a day and follow a macro diet plan
strength train 3 week but have
gained 3 pound already any advice would be greatly appreciated
This would
then explain why eccentric training tends to produce greater
gains in
strength overall, because eccentric training typically involves greater absolute loads (as well as
more muscle damage).
If you look at their total volume of work in each rep range, they actually do a lot
more high reps than low reps. I've seen guys that get religious about a program like 5 × 5, and they get some good
strength gains for a year, and
then they don't
gain any
more strength or size for 10 years.
If looking and feeling bigger is your objective as well as lifting
more and hitting new levels of
strength,
then you need look no further
then Dbal — ultimate
strength gains with no side effects.
Once an athlete has
gained significant amounts of muscle mass (typically achieved through a hypertrophy cycle focused on progressive overload and increased training volume), he / she can
then progress into
more strength, power, and explosive training.
Since
strength is specific,
then:
strength training that focuses on the knee (and hip) extensors should lead to superior
gains in COD ability than
strength training that is
more generally applied to the whole lower body.
Since
strength is specific,
then:
strength training that focuses on the (medial) hamstrings or the hip extensors
more generally, and / or the hip flexors should lead to superior
gains than
strength training that is
more generally applied to the whole lower body.
Ultimately, if
strength training with heavy loads increases muscle
strength more than lighter loads, but size
gains are similar,
then specific tension must be increased
more when using heavy loads.
If
strength gains are stability - specific,
then gains in
strength in a very stable exercise set - up (such as sitting on a machine) might not transfer to
strength displayed in less stable environments (such as standing on the ground), while
gains in very unstable environments (such as balancing on a wobble board) might not transfer to those in
more stable environments (Willardson, 2004).
And if the assumptions turn out to be true,
then the theory / model based on those assumptions
gains more strength / credibility.
