There's been a lot of debate whether increasing the time under tensions triggers greater muscle gains, but the majority of studies support this claim under various discoveries: • The cross-section area of the slow -
twitch type muscle
fibers is greatly increased, which leads to maximal stimulation of these type I
fibers since they possess a high level of fatigue threshold, which
also promotes an increased hypertrophic response.
When performed with light to moderate weight, explosive lifts will activate more fast
twitch fibers in you chest.Explosive lifts will
also build strength and power because you only push the weight and you don't use your energy to slow down the bar on its way down.You can use ballistic bench press for explosive reps.Right after your regular bench press set, go to the smith machine and do 5 - 6 ballistic reps.You should use around 50 - 60 % lighter weight for the explosive reps.

also damages fast -
twitch muscle
fibers, causing them to grow larger and stronger.

also said that doing 1 rep with maximum weight will
also stimulate more red muscle
fibers (fast -
twitch).

also reduced the number of fast
twitch fibers that were recruited.
