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.»
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.
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.
However, it's possible that high TUT may promote greater hypertrophy in slow -
twitch muscle fibers, which are more fatigue - resistant than fast -
twitch muscle fibers and therefore can't be adequately stimulated
with short TUT and heavy loads.
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.
But individuals
with COPD tend to lose slow -

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 the fast
twitch muscle fibers, but it's quickly used up.
Creatine phosphate (creatines high energy molecule form, stored within cells) is used to supply the type 11b
muscle fibers (fast -

Some people have more slow -
twitch muscle fibers, meaning they are more comfortable
