The hams are large muscles mostly comprised of fast - twitch fibers, which means that they can produce lots of force and training them once a week with a couple of sluggish sets of leg curls would be disrespectful to their power.

Because they carry a large percentage of fast - twitch muscle fibers, mesomorphs will greatly benefit from lower to moderate reps (5 - 8 reps) and heavy weights.

Ectomorphs have difficulties building mass because the larger percent of their muscle fibers are slow twitch, they are usually insulin resistant, and have naturally high metabolism.

The reason for this is that compound exercises target a number of large muscle groups, resulting with the recruitment of many different muscle fibers, compared to isolation exercises that are designed to target specific small muscle groups.

The stimulus is great enough to recruit the large and powerful fast twitch muscle fibers.

The key to building muscle is to use compound movements that recruit a large amount of muscle fibers at one time.

Further training (along with a proper diet) then allows these nuclei to synthesize muscle proteins that create larger and stronger muscle fibers.

The muscle fibers you break down in the gym needs time to rebuild so they can be stronger and larger than before.

Your muscles fibers become larger and stronger, and your nervous system more efficient.

The first is greater activation of your muscle fibers - they fire in larger numbers, which is just what we need to build muscle.

As your muscles fatigue during your sets, larger fibers (type II) that wouldn't ordinarily be engaged with lighter weights will start to activate.

Creatine phosphate (creatines high energy molecule form, stored within cells) is used to supply the type 11b muscle fibers (fast - twitch high - glycolytic; the ones that get largest in size) with immediate energy, ensuring these muscles do not prematurely fatigue 6.

For example, sprinters usually have predominately Type IIB fast glycolytic muscle fibers, while distance runners have a larger proportion of slow - twitch, high oxidative muscle fibers.

Using a higher rep scheme with lighter weights (12 - 20 reps) will break down the Type I fibers, so they grow larger — perhaps not to the extent of the more anaerobic Type IIs but still, bigger Type I fibers contribute to larger, denser muscles.

Strength training is associated with shorter - duration, more intense workouts usually associated with increased power from both neurological affects that incorporate more muscle fibers, and ultimately larger muscles.

You want to train your nervous system to contract larger numbers of muscle fibers to develop higher levels of strength.

Since muscle fiber type does not appear to differ substantially between athletes of many groups and untrained controls in many (but not all) cases, it has been suggested that there is a large genetic component to the muscle fiber type displayed by any given individual.

This lack of any large difference in single fiber force between the various muscle fibers is reflected by the lack of a relationship between long - term strength gains and fiber type shifts.

Applying a stress to a long muscle fiber will result in a larger relative length change than the same stress applied to a shorter muscle fiber, all other things being equal.

Muscle fascicle length increases more after eccentric training than after concentric training (Ema et al. 2016), probably through a larger increase in the number of sarcomeres in series within the myofibrils of a muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, Muscle fascicle length increases more after eccentric training than after concentric training (Ema et al. 2016), probably through a larger increase in the number of sarcomeres in series within the myofibrils of a muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, muscle fiber (Brughelli & Cronin, 2007; Butterfield, 2012).

That's why a skinny kid who can contract a lot of muscle fibers can be stronger than a big bulky athlete who can't contract large numbers of fibers.

What you are trying to change through muscle building workouts is the appearance of the muscle tissue, bulking it up and making the fibers larger and more defined.

Sprint training also damages fast - twitch muscle fibers, causing them to grow larger and stronger.

Just having a large mass of muscle does not assure more fibers will be stimulated to generate power.

A nerve can can talk to 100 muscle fibers (small, eye muscles), or thousands of muscle fibers (large, hamstrings muscles) or somewhere in between.

Compound movements are exercises which involve the largest muscle groups and hence hits maximum muscle fibers.

Since you will be performing compound exercises that target the largest portion of muscle fibers, they will cause the greatest release of anabolic hormones such as testosterone and HGH (Human growth hormone).

I have been theorizing that a large portion of my muscle mass is this type of muscle fiber because of the carbohydrate eating, and that when I «go low carb» I essentially starve those muscle fibers and they begin to breakdown giving me the feeling that my body is eating itself.

Training with lighter weights and higher reps — where you «go for the burn» and your muscles feel like they're pumped up and about to explode — generates a large amount of metabolic stress, which has also been shown to increase the activation of muscle fibers [11].

That's because lifting heavy weights places tension on a large number of muscle fibers, which in turn sends the «make me bigger» signal to those fibers.

Whether this is related to the number of muscle fibers innervated by each motor unit is unclear, although it is generally accepted that muscles that control fine movements have fewer fibers per motor unit, while large muscles that control larger movements have many more fibers per motor unit (Kuriki et al. 2012).

Either way, the muscle fibers from each motor unit are quasi-randomly situated through the muscle and intermingled with those of other motor units, albeit with a tendency for the muscle fibers of smaller motor units to be situated in the deep part of the muscle and for the muscle fibers of larger motor units to be located more superficially (Staudenmann et al. 2009).
