«Those people with a genetic predisposition of a high percentage of these fibers can increase muscle size very easily while the people with a higher percentage of slow twitch muscle fibers have to work really hard to put on mass.»

Fast - twitch muscle fibers are used in explosive bursts of power, for example when working with heavy loads or during sprinting, while slow - twitch fibers enable long endurance feats such as high - rep sets with light loads or distance running.

Doing daily heavy work to the point of failure will increase your biceps» capacity for recruiting more fast - twitch fibers.

Working on peak power output will help to improve your fast - twitch muscle fiber recruitment which plays a huge role in all athletic endeavors that require speed and power.

Performing interval training sessions near lactate threshold can teach your body to decrease the amount of lactic acid being produced and increase lactate removal at any given intensity.At this intensity, the fast - twitch fibers can be trained to produce less lactic acid and the slow twitch fibers can be trained to burn more lactic acid, both of which raise the lactic acid threshold and allow you to work harder at a higher intensity.

During a really heavy lift, even though the Fast A and Fast B fibers are activated and doing the bulk of the work, active Slow Twitch fibers are producing force and helping lift the weight.

To go even further, our fast twitch fibers can be classified as either Type IIX or Type IIB.11 Fast twitch fibers show a greater capacity for hypertrophy than slow twitch fibers, therefore it may be wise to incorporate faster repetition training to maximize this capacity.4 Maximal speed is regarded as a short lasting adaptation, therefore if we wish to keep our bar speed up, we must train with fast bar speed frequently.8 This will have a nice carry over effect to the amount of weight we are able to lift, the amount of work we are able to perform in a condensed amount of time, and ultimately will increase the efficiency of our training.
