Two additional genetics characteristics play a role in determining your muscle building capacity:
muscle fiber density and neuromuscular performance.
Muscle fiber density predetermines the size capacity of a muscle; neuromuscular performance describes the relationship between the central nervous system and your muscles.

Muscle CSA was calculated by dividing the muscle mass by the product of the muscle density coefficient (1.06 g • cm3), muscle Lo, and the fiber length coefficient (EDL: 0.45, soleus:

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.
Almost 80 % of the
muscle fiber's
density is comprised of these contractile parts, which leaves a great potential for
muscle size growth.
«It does this through improving aerobic metabolism due to it increasing the mitochondrial
density in slow - twitch
muscle fibers,» says Turner.
When it comes to curls, a simple change in wrist position or source of resistance will allow you to recruit the
muscle fibers in unique ways and build serious mass and
density, so you really want to include a variety of curling styles in your routine.
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.
Building for strength and peak power will lead to an increase in the
density of
muscle fibers (strands of rope) in your tissue, thereby increasing the strength of contraction of your
muscles.
They increase the functional
muscle tissue (the
fiber density) without changing the non-functional
muscle tissue (the volume of sarcoplasmic fluid).
Weight Watchers promotes adequate calcium,
fiber and potassium levels for their roles in bone
density, blood pressure control,
muscle building, and the function of blood transport, i.e. arteries, veins, capillaries.
Hypertrophy of type I
muscle fibers, such as that seen in the present study, is important given that these
fibers are more insulin sensitive [33]; they contain a greater oxidative and mitochondria capacity, and higher capillary
density [32].
And it seems very unlikely that these are caused by changes in
muscle size, architecture, or aspects of the
muscle fiber itself, such as
fiber type or myofilament packing
density.
