Slow muscle fiber conundrum


Question 1,

WHICH SET WILL PRODUCE MORE AND MORE OVERALL FORCE FROM THE SLOW MUSCLE FIBERS, THUS IN TURN MORE TENSION TO THEM.

A slow set of slow reps 3/3, say at using 75% of your 1RM, let us call this 100pounds, 6 repetitions = 36 seconds.

You fail faster in the faster rep with the same weight.

A fast set of fast reps, .5/.5, say at using 75% of your 1RM; let us call this 100 pounds, 25 repetitions = 15 seconds.

Overall poundage moved.

Slow set 600 pounds,

Fast set 2500 pounds.

Question 2,

How much force would the slow muscle fibers be producing in the slow set and the fast set ??? Low, medium, high or all.

I myself would say the slow muscle fibers generate far more force in the faster rep.

3/3 and 1/1 means three seconds up for the positive and three seconds down for the negative in each repetition of the set. 75% means using 75% of a person’s 1 repetition maximum attempt in a lift.

Thank you for your time.

Wayne

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
