This uses fast - twitch muscle fibers (the ones that contract during high - intensity moves and help improve muscle tone) Sit with knees bent and feet on floor.

By focusing on the lowering part of the movement, you can powerfully overload your muscles and recruit more of their fast - twitch fibers, which leads to greater stress and greater adaptation.

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.

All of your slow twitch fibers will be activated, all or nearly all of your intermediate fibers will be activated, and some of your fast twitch fibers will be activated on that first rep.. The reason all those fibers are activated on the first set is that the slow twitch fibers are not strong enough, by themselves, to lift the weight.

I've increased my curl weight to 100 from 80 in about 3 weeks by mixing up on / off days and light / medium with heavy training (trying to take advantage of the muscle «continuum» and hitting the fiber on light weight most on one but ending with hitting the fast twitch for heavy on light medium workouts for at least 1 set of 5 rep)

If you do 10 slow reps (slow on both the positive and negative portions) with a relatively light weight, say 75 % of your 1RM, then do 10 superfast reps, and finish with 10 normal - speed reps, you can fatigue both the slow - and fast - twitch muscle fibers and induce growth.

In light of your reply to this question, what are your views on the popular theories of slow and fast twitch muscle fibers?

Fast twitch fibers are hardly being recruited, provided that gearing is sufficiently low and cadence sufficiently high, and many strength athletes may find that they can easily recover from an hour or two on the bike (at low intensity) simply by COMPENSATING CALORICALLY.
