But sometimes even that isn't enough so
in pursuance of weight gaining a bodybuilder should do forced reps.. A rep is considered forced when a bodybuilder reaches
muscle failure during a set and has a training partner who assists
in completing past the normal point of failure and therefore fatigues
more muscle fibers which eventually
in greater
muscle density.

muscle fibers, which are predominantly of the fast - twitch type, with
more intensity.
Your trapezius
muscle group is
more than an impressive - looking body part — it's also a collection of hard working
fibers that support your shoulders and limbs, and its functions include keeping the neck and head
in position, enabling the movement of the shoulder blades and even assisting breathing.
The result is that some
muscle fibers are broken down
more in different movements, even though the movement pattern seems similar.
It will result
in occlusion and hypoxia made from chasing it, but that has positive effects as well — it makes you grow ever
more muscle fiber!
According to many studies performing exercises with free torso movement
in space recruits
more muscle fibers with greater intensity, than the exercises where you keep your torso static.
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.
For example, deadlifts work almost every
muscle in the body and that provides maximal
muscle fiber recruitment and an increased stimulus for
muscle growth, which
in turn allows for
more weight to be lifted.
Therefore,
in order to achieve maximum gains, you need to utilize different rep ranges that will activate both types of
muscle fibers: use heavy - load, low - rep training as your primary style but also throw
in a couple of sets with lighter loads for
more reps.
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.
However, it's possible that high TUT may promote greater hypertrophy
in slow - twitch
muscle fibers, which are
more fatigue - resistant than fast - twitch
muscle fibers and therefore can't be adequately stimulated with short TUT and heavy loads.
The plyometric moves involve performing the exercises

Doing only 1 - 2 reps with an extremely heavy weight forces your nervous system to recruit the maximal amount of

more reps.
For those who of you who are not familiar with intensity - boosting techniques, partial reps are basically reps done
