more muscle fiber!

more muscle fibers and get a massive pump.
If you make your biceps use more and
more muscle fibers when you hold them for more than the necessary amount by a second or two when you get to the top of the movement, you'll have even better results.

more muscle fibers, increase anabolic hormone production helping overall muscle growth.
In addition, the main advantages of the dumbbell pull - over over the straight - arm pull - down is that it offers a greater stretch at midpoint and can be used to recruit
more muscle fibers.
Keep in mind that although forced reps and dropsets, which are designed to help you squeeze few more reps out of your already drained muscles, can spur even bigger gains by producing greater metabolic stress, lactic acid and stimulating
more muscle fiber recruitment, these methods will also take an even greater toll on your body and shouldn't be used too frequently.
Second, the very act of increased focus allows you to recruit
more muscle fibers in the targeted muscle and third, unilateral exercises can help you even out potential strength imbalances between both sides of your body, you may have accumulated over the years.
For example, when you do a two second pause in the middle of the rep, you play down the momentum, taking full advantage of the time spent under tension, and recruiting
more muscle fibers.
The technique forces your muscle to recruit
more muscle fibers to complete a movement because many of the fibers inside the muscle are already blasted.
These compound exercises work multiple muscle groups, recruiting
more muscle fibers and making your workout more efficient.
By using straps, you will be able to pull more weight, thus activating
more muscle fibers on that posterior chain.
Plus, you recruit
more muscle fibers and more fast - twitch muscle fibers, the kind most strongly associated with strength development.
You can always use more weight on compound movements and with that you stimulate
more muscle fibers and send signals for more growth hormone production.What do you think, which exercise will target
more muscle fibers — a dumbbell bench press or cable crossover?
This will help you engage
more muscle fibers and develop tremendous amounts of strength and power a lot faster.
In addition to recruiting
more muscle fibers, multi-joint moves help increase the production of anabolic hormones, so if you want to build some serious mass, forget about the splits that have you training legs one day a week and add more of these into your regular routine.
Do pre-exhaust sets to recruit
more muscle fibers for use during compound movements and really tax your stronger muscle groups while shredding the isolation areas.
Multi-joint compound movements, like squats and bench presses, recruit
more muscle fibers stimulating greater GH secretion.
When you recruit
more muscle fibers you increase your strength much faster.
Yet, if you were to pick up a bowling ball, your body would recruit even
more muscle fibers to accomplish the movement.
The more total distance you cover with the weight,
the more muscle fibers you'll hit.

more muscles fibers and work the love handles even more, concentrate on your midsection and focus on tightening up your sides.
It seems that the very act of lifting an unguided (i.e. «free») weight recruits
more muscle fibers than performing the same movement on a guided machine (even bodyweight Pull - Ups have been shown in MRI analyses to intensely recruit
more muscle fibers than Pull - downs with a cable.)
For a woman who has hunched posture, has been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and is beginning an exercise program, machine weights that offer a stable environment where she can safely exercise, learn the proper form, and begin to recruit
more muscle fibers is functional.
Research shows that dumbbell military press activates
more muscle fibers than its barbell counterpart, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily superior.
So, even though it technically activates
more muscle fibers, it doesn't necessarily result in more hypertrophy (muscle growth).
Hit
more muscle fibers where they can exert maximum force.
With proper use, you can not only activate
more muscle fibers, you may even be able to SPLIT your muscle fibers, making more of them - that means faster gains, more easily!
However, it should be done with full body compound movements, as they will recruit
more muscle fibers.
But there was a study showing that doing the concentric part of an exercise explosively (taking about 1 second) and lowering it slowly (about 3 - 4 seconds) stimulates
more muscle fibers, leading to a greater testosterone response.
Then, when you go into continuous tension pressing,
more muscle fibers will be working under that continuous tension, increasing the results you get in terms of hypertrophy (fiber growth).
