    Fadi on muscle fibres & more...

    please forgive me for stupidity, but then it does not really matter what rep speed you use, correct? Lifting very slowly on purpose will recruit as many fibres as lifting it fast? But why when lifting slowly it feels harder?

    But how does it compare in terms of muscle fibre recruitment in terms of lifting normally with moderate/fast speed vs planned artificially slowed down speed?

    The Path of Most Resistance

    But is resting for a short period of time not dependant on the actual load used? If one trains in the 5-6 rep range than you get maximum muscle fibre recruitment even if your rest 2-3 minutes. Training with loads of 8-15 reps taxes you differently, therefore short rest period will allow to...

    Fadi on muscle fibres & more...

    What about Force= mass x acceleration? Let's say your 5 RM is 50 kg. So in scenario 1 you lift this load slowly ( slow concentric ) and (slow eccentric ) or scenario 2 where you lift the load quickly with fast con and controlled eccentric. What is the difference between those two scenarios in...
