Sentences with phrase «means more muscle fiber»

Not exact matches

The most important reason for this phenomenon is the fact that the brachialis muscle has more slow - twitch fibers than the biceps, and therefore, has more of a stabilizing role compared to the biceps brachii which is meant for faster, more explosive work.

The majority of studies seem to support the claim that the dumbbell bench press is a better option for anyone looking to increase his chest size, mainly because of the greater range of motion involved — a greater range of motion on pressing movements means more horizontal flexion and adduction and a greater recruitment of chest muscle fibers.

Research shows that dumbbell military press activates more muscle fibers than its barbell counterpart, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily superior.

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!

Meaning that if you express more fast twitch muscle fibers, you know, like I personally do, I'm what is called a power responder, meaning that my body responds very well to strength and power - based sets to short heavy sets with high weight rather than longer sets of 12 - 20, 25 repetitions with lighter wMeaning that if you express more fast twitch muscle fibers, you know, like I personally do, I'm what is called a power responder, meaning that my body responds very well to strength and power - based sets to short heavy sets with high weight rather than longer sets of 12 - 20, 25 repetitions with lighter wmeaning that my body responds very well to strength and power - based sets to short heavy sets with high weight rather than longer sets of 12 - 20, 25 repetitions with lighter weights.

More fibers in the muscle means more overall potential groMore fibers in the muscle means more overall potential gromore overall potential growth!

Some people have more slow - twitch muscle fibers, meaning they are more comfortable with strength and long endurance activities.

This means that force production is greater (and more efficient) in the eccentric phase than the concentric phase, because passive elements resist lengthening of the muscle fibers in the eccentric phase, but not in the concentric phase.

So this is related to the heart rate in the sense that a higher intensity means both a higher heart rate and more activation of the aerobic (Type I) muscle fibers.

More muscle fibers means more poMore muscle fibers means more pomore power.

Your body adapts by activating more fibers in the muscles involved in a certain movement (meaning your nervous system adapted by firing signals to more muscle cells).

The reason Reclining on the Sun Exercise works so well is because you are incorporating the stability muscles in your triceps which means essentially that you are incorporating more muscle fibers.

This means that when you need to kick it into high gear, your body will be able to call upon more muscle fibers to contribute to power production to get you up that hill or to that finish line, and can do so with less wasted energy.

Untapped Muscle Building Target # 2: Heavy Lifting Cycles The reason it works: muscle damage, activation of the high threshold muscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to your normal bodybuilding routine you will be able to recruit more muscle fibers for the same exeMuscle Building Target # 2: Heavy Lifting Cycles The reason it works: muscle damage, activation of the high threshold muscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to your normal bodybuilding routine you will be able to recruit more muscle fibers for the same exemuscle damage, activation of the high threshold muscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to your normal bodybuilding routine you will be able to recruit more muscle fibers for the same exemuscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to your normal bodybuilding routine you will be able to recruit more muscle fibers for the same exemuscle fibers for the same exercise.

As mentioned in the previous installment, this is indeed a method by which the body can improve the relative efficiency of these muscle fibers, as a decrease in overall area with an increase in the capillary network means proportionately more blood flow to each muscle fiber.

1Some muscle fibers drop out when they fatigue, and other muscle fibers are recruited so force output doesn't drop off, which means total muscle activation over the course of a set may be the same with heavy and light loads, even if activation at any given time point is higher with heavier loads 2 It's a little more complicated than that, if you care to dig deeper.

The reason more mitochondria don't always mean that you run faster (instead of longer) is because (1) you may have far more mitochondria than necessary to process the maximum amount of oxygen your lungs can take in and your red blood cells transport at any given time, (2) regardless of how many mitochondria you have, the motor neurons connected to your aerobic muscle fibers are smaller than those connected to your anaerobic muscle fibers.

All of this means that when you challenge your body to do more WORK — for instance, by going very slowly on the eccentric portion of the movement — you get more of your important type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers involved... which means you become more metabolically active to burn fat... AND build greater strength.
