muscle fibers, there is another ingredient that is almost
as important.
Doing only 1 - 2 reps with an extremely heavy weight forces your nervous system to recruit the maximal amount of
muscle fibers in your chest.When you do the set with lighter weight, the nervous system still recruits the same amount of
muscle fibers as for the heavy weight.This will make the weight much easier so you can get several
more reps.
The second one is called myofibrillar hypertrophy and it represents enlargement of the
muscle fiber as it gains
more myofibrils, which contracts and does all the functional work — creates tension in the
muscle.With this type of hypertrophy, the area density of myofibrils increases and there is a significantly greater ability to exert muscular strength.
There seems to be a specificity to which fatty acid is required for a given goal though,
as DHA has been shown to be
more present in type - 2
muscle fibers (3).
However, it should be done with full body compound movements,

fiber and naturally occurring fructose (fruit sugar) helps to restore glycogen in the liver Bodybuilders should be
more concerned with storing glycogen inside
muscle, and that's the primary role of staples such
as potatoes, rice, pasta, yams, bread and high -
fiber cereals.
As for your
muscle physiology, the relative proportion of fast twitch and slow twitch
fibers in your
muscles is also genetically predetermined, and slow twitch
muscle fibers are able to consume
more oxygen than fast twitch
muscle fibers.
More interestingly, Farup et al. (2014) found that the strength of the relationship between rate of force development and type IIX
muscle fiber relative area reduced steadily
as the time period moved further away from the onset of the contraction (r = 0.61, 0.56, 0.46, 0.26 for 30ms, 50ms, 100ms and 200ms).
it also seems that for me,
more high weight low rep training would be preferential
as it produces
more contractile based
muscle fibers or myofibriol and would increase strength moreso then size.
Through overspeed training, not only do your neurons literally learn how to fire faster and control your
muscles more efficiently at higher speeds, but you also develop
more powerful and quick
muscle fiber contractions, which,
as you've already learned, is crucial for performance, function and longevity.
Long - term factors can be subdivided into psychological areas (e.g. Mahoney, 1989) and (
more commonly researched) physical areas, such
as age, anthropometrics,

So not only are you going to get the benefits of working all the
muscle fiber types in your arm
muscles, the massive influx of blood has numerous benefits
as well (most notably improving microcirculation in the
muscles, which helps set the stage for

muscles).
