The water weight that creatine keeps is intramuscular, which means it's located in the space between your muscle fibers.

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.

The hams are large muscles mostly comprised of fast - twitch fibers, which means that they can produce lots of force and training them once a week with a couple of sluggish sets of leg curls would be disrespectful to their power.

challenging the fast - twitch muscle fibers (the ones that are awesome for strength, power and looking lean and mean)

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.

This means that fewer muscle fibers are being activated leaving the few remaining fibers to do all of the work (you lazy seats!).

More fibers in the muscle means more overall potential growth!

Hyperplasia is the increase of cells in number, so in the context of muscle cells, it would mean an increase of muscle fibers.

The effect is «hyperplasia,» which means muscle fiber splitting (compare it to «hypertrophy,» which means muscle fiber growth).

This means you are not training to failure, so that the muscle fibers and your central nervous system are annihilated, but rather to stimulate the maximum amount of growth.

Taking a selection of the literature, mean single fiber force production reported for type I muscle fibers ranges from 0.47 ± 0.15 mN to 1.01 ± 0.09 mN while mean single fiber force production reported for type IIA muscle fibers ranges from 0.42 ± 0.10 mN to 1.36 ± 0.03 mN (Trappe et al. 2000a; 2000b; 2001; 2003; 2006; Frontera et al. 2000; Widrick et al. 2002; Shoepe et al. 2003; Harber et al. 2004a; 2008).

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.

But first lets clarify, «all muscle fibers» do you mean all types of fibers - fast twitch, slow twitch.

Thus, increasing muscle fascicle length will mean that you record a lower value of stiffness, even if the individual muscle fibers are themselves now made of stiffer material.

Among the lower body muscles, the plantar flexors display the highest proportion of type I muscle fibers, and the knee extensors display the lowest proportion of type I muscle fibers, as shown in the chart below, which presents the mean of the data from all currently available studies.

Additionally, while there are indications of preferential increases in type II muscle fiber type area after training at faster speeds (Coyle et al. 1981; Thomeé et al. 1987; Zaras et al. 2013; Pareja - Blanco et al. 2016a), this is also by no means a uniform finding (Ewing Jr et al. 1990; Malisoux et al. 2006; Vissing et al. 2008; Lamas et al. 2012).

Lower intensity means few active muscle fibers.

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.

Basically, this means an athlete who trains this way will be able to recruit a greater amount of muscle fibers in a shorter amount of time — increasing power output significantly.

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.

And local sugar stores are getting depleted, so that fatiguing muscle fibers have lower sugar concentrations to play with, which means that sugar can't go into the fibers at the same rate.

It doesn't matter that the body is capable of having a good fuel system, meaning a good fat burning at 140 BPM, as long as at 130 BPM the body is using the anaerobic muscle fibers and producing anaerobic waste it means we passed the MAF HR (of that context — performing one leg only).

This means that if you are using a leg at an anaerobic intensity, the muscle fibers will quickly start fatiguing, and they will put out less and less power as they do.

Intensity, in the sense of the word that I'm referring to, means contracting every muscle fiber in a specific bodypart to the point of complete failure.

This might mean spending a bit of time walking at the onset of a workout, and at the very end of it, to stimulate those muscles that move the body easily — otherwise, the full spectrum of aerobic fibers may not be trained.

So, by default, that means the smallest muscles are recruited first, followed by the largest muscle fibers.

'' [Hill's experiment was] done on muscle fibers that were not electrically stimulated and were simply exposed to heavily buffered calcium solutions, which means that the major part of the muscle's activation process was bypassed,» Thomas H. Pedersen, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, told LiveScience.

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.

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.

This means that if you can keep stuffing mitochondria into the muscle fibers far beyond their capability to contract, extending their range rather than increasing their speed.

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.

The ST group show improved muscle quality (mean ± SE: 28 ± 3) vs CON -LRB--4 ± 2, p < 0.001) and increased type I (860 ± 252µm2) and type II fiber cross-sectional area (720 ± 285µm2) compared to CON (type I: -164 ± 290µm2, p = 0.04; and type II: -130 ± 336µm2, p = 0.04).

This means that the push - up has the potential to activate a lot of muscle fibers.

The mean type II muscle fiber proportion was 44 ± 8 % across all 10 subjects.

When a fiber contracts, it will contract maximally (Saladin, 2007), so this means when you lift a heavy load you will fully stimulate slow and intermediate 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.
