That's an advantage for beginners, but once you're no longer a newbie, having to stabilize the weight works to your advantage since you get stabilizing muscles get in on the action and you get
more muscle fiber activation.
Not exact matches
You must learn to lift in a slow and maximally controlled manner, which produces
more total
muscle tension and force and increase
muscle fiber activation.
Post
Activation potentiation will make the actin and myosin in your
muscle fibers become
more receptive to calcium, which in turn will create faster contractions in the
muscle fibers and will stimulate the nervous system to produce bigger force.
For example, one study found a little less than 70 % leg
muscle fiber activation while running to exhaustion on a level treadmill and a bit
more than 70 %
activation during exhaustive running up an inclined treadmill.
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.

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 exe

Not only that, these tricep exercises are arranged strategically to literally FORCE the
activation of many
more muscle fibers in the triceps, leading to greater
muscle growth and strength FAST!
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.
Instead of attempting to isolate an abdominal or other
muscle in a workout, such as with tradition sit - ups, it is best to create natural activity for
activation of
more muscle fibers.
