Lesson Overview

2.13 – Muscle Fiber Types & How to Train Them Differently: Muscles are made of different fiber types, and training works better when you understand what your body responds to. Some fibers are built for endurance and keep working longer, while others are built for power and grow fast from heavy tension. This is why one person grows quickly from heavy sets and another grows better from moderate weight and higher reps. Learning fiber types helps you stop copying someone else’s plan that does not fit your body. Faster reps can train power fibers, while controlled reps can build tension that supports size. Heavy training teaches the nervous system to recruit strong fibers, which helps you lift more over time. Higher-rep work builds endurance and pumps more blood into the muscle, which supports growth too. The best plans usually mix both so you build size, strength, and control together. When you train fibers the right way, stubborn muscles start responding better instead of staying the same. Understanding this also prevents overtraining because you stop doing random volume that does not match the goal. Training becomes smarter, and your results become more predictable.
