Slow Twitch and Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers
Justina Ercole did a video explaining the difference. I found it interesting, especially since I always forget which is which.
https://youtu.be/0kvLro5zdG0 From what I gathered, fast twitch is heavy weight low rep, slow twitch is light weight high rep. She also said we need to incorporate both into our routine.

This article from Stronger by Science that I read last year has a similar conclusion, that we should do a variety of weight and rep ranges.
But they say that the evidence is not strong for the idea that certain rep ranges and relative heaviness of weight preferentially benefits one type of muscle fiber over another. Some studies point to that but some don’t. |
